Protein Hype or Healthy Habit, Heart Health Insights, and Girl Scouts Who Lead.

from The Spark · host WITF, Inc.

(00:00:00) Clinical Nutrition Manager Angelina Sickora and Clinical Operations Manager and registered dietitian Janelle Barnett from Penn State Health break down the booming world of protein—what it actually does in the body, how much we really need, whether “protein‑packed” products are worth the hype, and how to read labels beyond the marketing. (00:12:08) Then, as Heart Month continues, Devon Sprenkle, Executive Director for the American Heart Association in South Central Pennsylvania, joins us to discuss building a world of longer, healthier lives and why heart health advocacy remains urgent for families across the Commonwealth. (00:23:26) We close with Cathy Hirko, Director of Marketing and Communications, who introduces Girl Scouts Amplified Voices—a podcast celebrating the courage, creativity, and leadership of Girl Scouts and the volunteers who support them as they shape the future they want to see.
