Description

Did you know you can now buy ice cream with added protein? Even breakfast cereals are jumping on the trend, boasting an extra protein punch.

In nearly every supermarket aisle, you'll spot the catchy slogan "high in protein" plastered across packaging.

But why is that? Are we not getting enough protein already, or are these high-protein products giving us too much?

Our guest is Christopher Gardner, a professor at Stanford University and a member of ZOE’s scientific advisory board, who has published widely on the relationship between protein and our health.
