In this episode, we're diving deep into the wonderful world of protein. From its incredible benefits to where you can find it, how much you need, and much more.

Why do you see protein added to so many products?  Well, it's not just for bodybuilders and gym enthusiasts. Protein plays a crucial role in our everyday lives, supporting various bodily functions. It's often called the building block of life, and for good reason.

We will talk about the benefits of protein from building tissues in your body, promote muscle growth, and its vitality for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. Beyond that, it's a key component of enzymes and hormones, which regulate countless processes in your body.

We will also talk about sources and absorption of protein.  There are so many sources, and it's not all about meat. We'll explore the plant-based options, like beans, lentils, and tofu, and discuss the differences between animal and plant-based protein.
