Truth About the Protein Hype; Is Collagen Worth it?; Why Walking Is King


Listen Later

⚡ Why is everyone so obsessed with protein at the moment - and do we really need as much of it as the fitness gurus claim?

💬 In a special solo episode of the podcast, I tackle this and more. Guided by science and the latest research, I offer actionable advice for anyone who’s confused by the protein craze.  I also dig into the science of collagen supplements - are they more hype than health? And I explain why walking is the king of exercises.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡ Why gym-bro protein recommendations are overkill - and how much you really need

➡︎ The link between too much protein and chronic health conditions

➡︎ Why the science on collagen supplements is weak across the board

➡︎ A better way to improve your skin, hair, joint and bone health

➡︎  Why regular walking is better than short bouts of intense weight lifting or sprints
