Protein Water & Popcorn? Why Protein Is Suddenly Everywhere (And How To Know You're Getting Enough)

Protein Water & Popcorn? Why Protein Is Suddenly Everywhere (And How To Know You're Getting Enough)

In this episode, we are tackling the "protein problem". Does it feel like suddenly every single item (from your water to your popcorn) has added protein? If you've been second-guessing if you're eating enough protein to support your body as a woman, you're not alone.


In this episode, we'll unpack:

  • How protein became the "ultimate nutrient" in the past few decades
  • A power lesson on how protein is digested, absorbed & utilized by the body for so many functions
  • Chatting complete vs incomplete proteins (& more importantly protein diversity!)
  • How to know when you are actually getting enough protein in your meals (what signs to look for!)


Together we will start to unpack that heavy backpack of food rules that you've been carrying around for decades and trade it in for a path to health that feels both sustainable and joyful!
