Your body isn't underfed on purpose. It just never gets the signal it needs to rebuild. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down why that happens and what one simple daily habit can do to change it. In this episode: What the "protein gap" is and why you don't feel it happening Why the amino acid leucine is the key to triggering muscle growth after 40 Why 3 eggs (18g protein) falls just short — and how one scoop of quality protein (21g) closes the gap Why consistent protein intake eliminates energy crashes, releases visceral fat, and protects how you age Why 90% of protein powders work against you (heavy metals, fillers, insulin spikes) Ben's personal protein routine and how to fit it into any lifestyle Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
