Vegan, vegetarian, carnivores, omnivores, or somewhere in between, the main theme across any WOE (way of eating) or that most any diet protocol will agree on is one fundamental truth:

Optimal health starts with making sure that every cell of your body has the essential building blocks that it needs in order to do the required tasks of each individual cell.   

SO, Why is protein so important? And how much do you need? And what are the bests forms?  Listen in on this so called "mini episode" that's not so mini, as Jodelle shares with you all the ins and outs of protein for fat loss, appetite control, improving sleep, and optimizing your health overall.
