Protein has entered the backlash era.

Suddenly now everyone is hating on protein because it is EVERYWHERE.

Candy, chips, ice cream, water, even Starbucks.

It’s like if every single food doesn’t have protein in it, you’re doing it wrong. 

Not to mention, somehow we’re all supposed to know exactly how many grams we “need” every single day.

In this episode, I’m slowing the whole conversation way down. I’m sharing how my perspective has shifted over the last few years. And a simple way for you to start rethinking it too. 

I’m not telling you to stop caring about protein!  But I am telling you how to stop letting it run your life and make you feel like a failure. 

I’m talking about:

• Why chasing a protein goal is stressing you out more than helping you
• The difference between eating more protein and understanding how protein actually works for you
• A skill-based way to figure out how much you truly need — without tracking, copying, or forcing cottage cheese into everything

If you’re exhausted by protein math, TikTok advice, and feeling like you’re somehow still doing it wrong and never getting enough, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
