Why More Protein Isn't Better: How Much Your Body Actually Uses
Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down why the fitness industry's "more protein is better" messaging doesn't match what research actually shows about how much protein your body can use in a single meal, and why distribution across the day matters far more than total daily grams. They explore the real science behind protein synthesis, why older adults have different needs, and how to actually optimize your intake without the bloating and digestive issues that come from overdoing it. You'll walk away with practical targets based on your age and activity level, plus a reality check on whether that 200-gram-per-day influencer diet is actually necessary.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show: ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow 📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com Powered by VoxCrea.AI
