About this episode

This episode explores the role of protein in blood sugar management and overall health, debunking common myths about protein intake.

Protein is everywhere — powders, bars, and drinks — but is more always better? In this episode, we cut through the hype to uncover what protein is actually doing in your body, how it affects blood sugar and diabetes health, and how much you really need to stay healthy long term. You'll learn: •⁠ ⁠What the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) really means (and why most people misinterpret it) •⁠ ⁠Why eating more protein doesn't necessarily lead to better health outcomes •⁠ ⁠The surprising risks of high-protein diets — including increased risk of diabetes and mortality •⁠ ⁠How plant-based protein sources support insulin sensitivity without the downsides of animal protein •⁠ ⁠Why you don't need to stress about "getting enough" protein on a low-fat, plant-based diet •⁠ ⁠If you've ever wondered whether you're eating too little, too much, or just the right amount of protein, this conversation will give you clarity and peace of mind. •⁠ ⁠Philip's Testimonial 👉 Ready to reverse insulin resistance and finally get long-term results? 🗓️Book a free discovery call today
