There is a lot of confusion about how much protein we need and where we should get it from. Protein is an essential nutrient that our bodies need for many important functions, including building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, neurotransmitters, and molecules of the immune system.
In this podcast, Dr. Burford-Mason discusses the great protein debate. She talks about the different types of protein, the amount of protein we need each day, and the best sources of protein. Dr. Burford-Mason also debunks some common myths about protein, such as the idea that a higher intake of protein might damage your bones or kidneys. She also discusses the benefits of a high-protein diet for weight loss, muscle growth, and overall health.
