Intermittent Fasting has become crazy popular in recent year. Thanks to social media and influencers swearing by it, health and fasting have become connected. But is that really accurate? Should we be fasting? Or should we as women be fleeing from fasting, as fast as we can sprint?

*** Heads up that weight loss is discussed in this episode because it’s such a part of the conversation of fasting. Reminder though I am weight neutral.

I couldn't do an entire series on protein without sharing some of the practical ways I ensure I have enough protein in my diet. These prevent me from blankly staring at the refrigerator wondering "what can I eat?"

A variety of protein-rich breakfast ideas, from yogurt parfaits to protein pancakesHigh-protein snack options for on-the-go nutritionLunch and dinner suggestions, including batch-cooking ideas for easy meal prepTips for adding high-protein sides to your mealsPlant-based protein options for those following a vegetarian or vegan dietThe importance of tailoring these suggestions to your individual needs and preferencesDid you get the Protein Playbook?

Fourteen (yes, 1️⃣4️⃣) months ago, I saw on a Zoom call with our Graced Health + community and said I wanted to do an episode on protein.
It took me this long to fully research the complexities of this hot topic but also how to present it in a way that isn't diet-culturey or present a hard and fast guideline.
The problem is one episode turned into four. 🙊
But also, sorry not sorry. This is a complicated topic and I didn't feel it was responsible to put numbers and guidance out there without the science and research behind it.
Today I dive into this four-part miniseries and cover:
The importance of protein as we age and how it relates to intuitive eatingMy approach to discussing protein, focusing on aging with resilience and strengthThe basics of what protein is and its building blocksDifferent sources of complete proteins, both animal and plant-basedWhy we need more protein as we age, including an explanation of sarcopeniaThe vital roles protein plays in our overall healthA comparison of plant-based and animal-based protein sourcesThe quality and quantity of protein in different foodsThis episode sets the foundation for understanding protein's role in our diets and health, especially as we age.
