Protein: the macronutrient everyone’s obsessed with, but could you be overdoing it? If you bought into the buzz and are on a high-protein diet or are concerned about the “dangers” you’ve heard about, you'll want to tune in!
We know protein the key to better blood sugar balance, weight loss and healthy aging, but will too much damage your kidneys, give you gout, or overload your body? Aimee pulls from research and clinical experience to give you the real meal deal in this episode of Blasphemous Nutrition!
Here’s what’s in store:
- The Kidneys & Protein Myth Busted: Why decades of research prove healthy kidneys handle high protein diets just fine.
- Muscle Matters: How protein helps build and maintain muscle at any age—whether you’re 25 or 75—and why this is critical for long-term health.
- The Gout Conundrum: Not all proteins are created equal—what you need to know about purines in protein as well as other foods that can exacerbate gout.
- Protein vs. Other Nutrients: When too much protein might crowd out essential nutrients, and how to tell if you may be getting too much.
- The Numbers You Need: Precise protein recommendations for sedentary adults, active individuals, and aging populations, based upon updated research and methodologies that are yet to be adopted by most nation's recommendations.
