Navigating the world of nutrition can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to protein—how much do you really need? Join Shelly as she dives deep into protein requirements and sharing why most people aren't getting nearly enough of this essential macronutrient.
The science is clear: your daily protein goal should match your body weight in grams. For a 180-pound person, that means aiming for 180 grams of protein daily. Drawing from Dr. Paul Arciero's groundbreaking research on protein pacing, Shelly explains why strategically spacing your protein throughout the day dramatically improves absorption and utilization. This approach—consuming protein within an hour of waking, with each meal, and before bed—transforms how your body builds muscle, maintains metabolism, and supports bone health.
Shelly walks you through her personal protein protocol that makes reaching these goals surprisingly simple. From morning protein shakes to strategic meal replacements and carefully planned dinners featuring organic protein sources, this system eliminates guesswork while maximizing nutritional impact. You'll discover why certain protein sources, particularly undenatured whey, offer superior absorption and how pre-bedtime protein consumption supports overnight recovery and enhanced fat burning.
Whether you're focused on aging well, optimizing your metabolism, or simply improving overall wellness, this episode provides practical, science-backed strategies to transform your approach to protein intake. Ready to revolutionize your nutrition? Take this one simple step toward better health today—your future self will thank you.
