Simon Hill: Protein Masterclass - Protein Amount, Quality & Timing

Protein seems to be the most popular nutrient on the block right now. From debates about plant versus animal protein, to the ongoing question about protein timing and if it really matters - our screens and feeds are full of it.  But what does the science say about protein? We cover it all this week with our guest Simon Hill, a Nutritionist, Physiotherapist, author of The Proof Is In The Plants and host of The Proof podcast. In this conversation we explore the nuances of protein consumption, covering everything from protein sources and optimal intake to how protein can impact strength training, and how this affects women in particular. This episode will help you understand fact from fiction, and empower you with the knowledge to make the best choices for your diet. *** Other resources: The Living Proof Challenge Follow Simon Hill on Instagram *** Timecodes: 00:00 Introduction 02:30 Plant vs Meat Based Protein 13:14 How To Map Your Protein Intake 19:50 Protein Shakes: Good or Bad? 23:10 What To Look For In Your Protein Powder 25:15 How Does Strength Change With Protein Intake? 29:30 Why Is Resistance Training So Important For Women? 33:00 Menopause and Resistance Training 35:00 Creatine: What Is It, And Should We Be Using It? 41:00 Is Soy A Good Source of Protein? 43:40 How Soy Protein Affects Sex Hormones 49:00 Fatty Fish, Should We Be Eating It?  58:00 The Mediterranean Diet Vs the Danish Diet 01:03:00 Should We Be Scared Of Seed Oils? 01:09:00 Self Compassion & Nutrition 01:14:30 Turning Points in Nutrition 01:20:00 Self Compassion Leads To A Better You 01:25:30 What Does Live Well Be Well Mean To You? *** Thank you to our wonderful sponsors!
