Most people think protein is just for body builders…. But it’s much more than that. It’s the foundation for nearly every system in our body. Here are some facts… As we age, our muscles become less sensitive to the signals from food. This means we need MORE protein, not less, to keep our metabolism optimized and maintain strength. Research shows that older adults often need up to 1 gram per pound of body weight just to keep muscle tissue responsive. And it’s not just about quantity, it’s about qu

Not all calories are created equal, and not all macronutrients affect your body the same way. Here’s the framework: Protein comes first. It’s structure. It builds and repairs muscle, supports immunity, and drives metabolic health. Think of it as your non-negotiable. Carbohydrates are conditional. They’re the riskiest fuel, spiking insulin and blood sugar if mismatched to your activity level. Use them strategically around training, when your muscles can actually use them. Fat is the fallback.

They keep telling you to eat less red meat… But the reality? US per capita consumption of beef has fallen 34% since 1970 with ZERO health benefits to show for it. Here’s what you’re missing when you skip red meat.. A single 4-ounce steak delivers 28 grams of complete protein, nearly a full meal’s worth in my protocol - plus iron, zinc, B12, selenium, and compounds you literally cannot get from plants. I’m talking about taurine, which helps eliminate cholesterol and has anti-inflammatory effects.

Your grocery cart shapes your health. Over 70% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese—not just because they eat too much, but because of what they eat. A century ago, processed foods made up less than 5% of the diet. Today? Over 60%. Ultra-processed foods usually disproportionately contribute added sugars, sodium, saturated fats and trans fats, and refined carbohydrates to the diet together with low fiber. And a growing body of evidence has shown that these foods increase the risk of obesity, di

Want to discover the often-overlooked secret to building muscle? It comes down to your daily protein intake. While the current recommendation is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, recent research shows that consuming more can lead to impressive gains. Study participants who simply doubled the RDA and paired it with resistance training saw the best results, including: → Greater fat loss → Better muscle mass retention So, consider this your reminder: prioritizing higher protein intake and resi

Everyone talks about how much protein you need. But here’s the real question: what kind of amino acids are you giving your body? All protein—whether in your food or your muscles—is built from just 20 amino acids. Only 9 are essential (EAAs), meaning your body can’t make them. You have to get them from your diet. And of those, not all are equal. You need 10x more leucine than tryptophan, for example. Nearly half of your total EAA need comes from just three BCAAs. That’s why protein quality matter

We don’t eat protein just for protein. We eat it for the amino acids. There are 20 amino acids—9 of them are essential, meaning your body can’t make them. You have to get them from food. That’s what protein quality really means: how rich a food is in those essential amino acids. Yes, you can get protein from plants—but it’s not the same. If you want the highest quality amino acids, you’ll find them in meat, eggs, and whey. Your body knows the difference. Feed it what it needs. PMID: 26224750 PMI
