Wondering how to get enough protein without relying on meat? In this episode, hormone health coaches Gina and Kristin break down why protein is essential for weight management, metabolism, and hormone balance—and why plant-based sources can do the job just as effectively as animal protein.
You’ll learn how protein stabilizes blood sugar, supports satiety hormones, boosts metabolism, and provides the amino acids your body needs for muscle, hormone production, and detoxification. Plus, we explore why some people feel better reducing animal protein, including benefits for gut health, inflammation, energy, and hormone metabolism.
We also cover:
- How much protein you really need and how to hit your target with plants
- The best plant-based protein sources: legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and complete protein powders
- Tips for building high-protein, plant-forward meals
- Real-life meal examples like lentil taco bowls, tofu stir-fries, and protein-packed smoothies
Whether you’re curious about plant protein, want to balance your hormones, or simply feel better in your body, this episode shows you how to fuel your body right—without relying on meat.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
