098: The #1 Reason You're Tired, Foggy, and Craving Sugar (It's Not What You Think)


Listen Later

In this straight-talking solo episode, Lizzie unpacks the powerhouse macro you’re probably under-eating—protein—and why it might be the hidden reason behind your fatigue, cravings, poor sleep, hormone imbalances, and stalled weight loss.

From blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance to muscle growth, metabolism, and even your ability to dream bigger, Lizzie breaks down how protein is the quiet hero in your health journey. This isn’t about counting macros for the sake of it—it’s about reclaiming your energy, clarity, and power, one intentional meal at a time.

You’ll learn:

  • Why protein is the most important macro for hormones, thyroid, and cortisol
  • How protein supports better sleep and balanced blood sugar
  • The ripple effect of muscle-building on your metabolism and mindset
  • The gut-brain connection and how digestion affects protein absorption
  • Easy strategies to increase protein without overwhelm (or dry chicken)
  • Lizzie’s go-to protein smoothie recipe + tips for starting your day strong
