In this episode of the Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, I begin by addressing the heartbreaking tragedy here in Utah involving the killing of Charlie Kirk. It’s important to pause and acknowledge the weight of events like this before moving into our regular health and fitness discussions.

From there, we shift into the main focus of today’s show: how to get the most out of a high-protein diet without suffering from the digestive issues that often come with it. A common pushback I hear from clients is that eating more protein makes their stomach hurt or leaves them feeling bloated. The truth is, there are real reasons behind those symptoms—and they can be addressed.

In this episode, I break down:

• Why high-protein diets sometimes cause digestive discomfort
• The key factors that contribute to bloating, cramping, or sluggish digestion
• Five tactical, science-backed ways to optimize digestion while still reaping the benefits of a high-protein approach

Whether you’re an athlete, busy parent, or just someone looking to eat better and feel better, these strategies will help you get the most out of your nutrition without the unpleasant side effects.
