The Hidden Dangers of the Protein Craze: Are You Unknowingly Fueling Disease?

You’ve heard the hype—pile on the protein to build muscle, lose weight, and stay youthful. But is this high-protein push quietly accelerating aging, inflammation, and even cancer? In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo sits down with quintuple board-certified physician and integrative pathologist, Dr. Monisha Bhanote, to expose the biological truth behind protein consumption.

From the microscopic changes happening inside your cells to the rise of early-onset colorectal cancer and cognitive decline, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening when protein becomes your primary fuel. Could your favorite “health foods” actually be aging you from the inside out?

What You’ll Discover Inside:

• The Protein-Aging Puzzle: Could your quest for longevity be triggering the very cellular damage you’re trying to avoid?
• The Silent Gut Saboteur: What’s really happening inside your gut when protein goes up and fiber disappears—and why you might not feel it… until it’s too late.
• Your Brain on Protein Overload: Is an unseen toxin quietly hijacking your memory, mood, and mental clarity?
• The mTOR Trap No One Warns About: You’re activating this “anti-aging” pathway—but could it be the hidden reason your body isn’t detoxifying properly?
• The Protein Source Dilemma: Are plants powerful enough to meet your protein needs—or is there a hidden cost either way?
• Your Unique Protein Blueprint: The critical test most people skip before deciding how much protein they really need.
