In This Episode:
In this video, I go over how much protein should you consume in order to stabilize your blood sugar, build lean body mass and burn fat for fuel.
In this eye-opening episode of the Functional Nutrition Podcast, I uncover the truth about protein’s role in burning fat and building muscle. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply boost your overall health, protein is a game-changer.
I will explain how the right amount of protein can help stabilize blood sugar, improve brain function, and maintain lean body mass — especially as we age.
Protein: More Than Just Muscle Fuel
Protein does more than just fuel your muscles; it reduces cravings, boosts energy, and supports fat burning. But how much protein do you actually need?
Here I will provide actionable insights into the optimal protein intake for your body weight and activity level, helping you unlock the full potential of your meals. I also share why meal timing and a restricted eating window can supercharge the benefits of protein.
