Break the Inflammation Cycle, Part 3: The Overcorrection — When Protein Obsession Backfires

Share your thoughtsYou're stressed. You're exhausted. You know you need to eat "healthy." So, you reach for a protein bar, a shake, maybe some beef jerky. It feels virtuous. But is it actually helping—or just a different kind of overcorrection?In Part 3 of "Break the Inflammation Cycle," Ashok and Meera tackle the protein obsession that's taken over grocery aisles and gym bags alike. We're not anti-protein—protein is essential. But somewhere between "eat enough protein" and "protein everything," we lost the plot.This episode covers: why tired people reach for protein (and what they're actually craving), the 1g per pound myth vs. what research actually shows, what's really in those bars and shakes, what gets crowded out when you're chasing protein grams, and whole food sources that outperform powders.Next episode: we bring it all together with anti-inflammatory eating—the real exit from the cycle.#BreakTheInflammationCycle #PayTheFarmer #ProteinMyth #WholeFood #FunctionalFood #NutritionScience #ProteinObsession #RealFood #GutHealth #AntiInflammatory #WellnessPodcast #HealthyEating #PayTheFarmerPodcast #MeeraVasudevan #AshokVasudevan #CSAWThanks for tuning in to "Pay the Farmer, Not the Pharmacy"!Hosted by Meera & Ashok VasudevanStay Connected#PayTheFarmerNotThePharmacy#PlantBasedWellness#NaturalFood#AffordableWellness#GutHealth#ImmunityBoost#NutritionTips#CSAW (Centre for the Spread of Affordable Wellness)#Meeravasudevan#Ashokvasudevanhttps://umaglobalfoods.com/https://csaw.cohttps://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/pay-the-farmer-not-the-pharmacy/id1512934794https://open.spotify.com/show/34nzNQQ62O8tygMaut2h8V
