Is Protein Powder Good for You? | #upgradedbiology

Are you tired of conflicting nutrition advice, low energy, or feeling confused about what your body really needs? In this episode of Upgraded Biology, Dr. Tami Meraglia sits down with nutrition pioneer, chef, and NYT bestselling author Leanne Ely for a powerful conversation about women’s health, real food, perimenopause, muscle building, longevity, and how to create sustainable energy at any age.

Leanne has been teaching families how to eat real, nutrient-dense food since 1993. Today she reveals the truth behind big food marketing, why high-protein trends can be misleading, and how to simplify nutrition using a holistic, anti-inflammatory approach.
