Today's episode is on a question that gets asked quite a bit—is a high protein diet unhealthy? Protein does not have stored reserves like fats and carbs. This is why adequate protein intake is so important. Listen in as Austin, Alex, and Sue dive into their own protein intake, protein distribution, and pitfalls of too much or too little, plus a funny story from Alex.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode.

Timestamps:

(0:00) Intro

(0:23) A quick disclaimer

(0:52) What is protein?

(1:46) What was our protein intake like when we were first starting out?

(11:50) What is considered 'high' protein intake?

(20:32) Is high protein intake bad for your liver or kidneys?

(22:25) How should we distribute our protein intake over the course of a day?

(34:11) Pitfalls of having protein intake too low or too high

(41:55) Is high protein detrimental to bone health?

(46:24) Final thoughts & wrap-up

Today we have Coach Maji joining us! In this episode, we are going to dive more deeply into Maji's fitness journey, but if you missed her spotlight, you can find that linked below. 

Each coach on Team PD comes from such a different fitness background and that helps us better serve our clients. Coach Maji grew up around fitness, having an older brother as a personal trainer and a twin brother who was into lifting. Her personal introduction to weightlifting began in high school during a weightlifting class. 

A large part of Maji's story has been that health and fitness has always been a non-negotiable for her, even throughout her two pregnancies. She has continued to prioritize fitness because it makes her feel good. 

Listen in as Maji and Sue talk through her fitness journey and why she chooses to take care of her wellness today.
