From my newsletter: 🍗TOO much protein? + A NEW Podcast: Gut Healing 🎉
Hi friends, Some of you don't get my newsletter, so in case you missed it: 2 FUN THINGS for you in this one... 1. Let’s do some debunking on protein intake. Every so often, a health or nutrition headline pops up that I just cannot ignore. Today’s offender? Yet another hot take on protein…One of you lovelies just sent me this recent article asking if it’s legit (thank you!), so I thought I’d answer here. The headline is “5 signs you might be overdoing it on protein." Oh, the media… We’ve got one camp shouting “protein is everything,” and now a growing chorus in mainstream media warning that we’re “obsessed” and “overdoing it.” The drama. The fear. The clicks. NO WONDER everyone is SO confused and overwhelmed with all the conflicting info from every direction. I hear it every day on calls. Anyway, let’s walk through this little gem together, because there are some reaaaal stretches in here. [TLDR; I call major BS on this article.] 2. NEW PODCAST EPISODE! Episode 6 is live - our first guest episode! :) "Gut Feelings & Diet Myths: Healing from the Inside Out", with Danna Levy Hoffman I sit down with my wonderful colleague and friend Danna, a Functional Medicine-certified Nutritionist & Health Coach in Switzerland…where Functional Medicine is really more the norm. Oh, Europe. 🥰 Danna has studied nutrition, psychology, and functional medicine for decades, she’s super real, fun to listen to, and offers us practical tips that WORK for midlife women. We unpack gut health, food freedom, trusting the body and why dieting keeps failing women over 40. From bloating and migraines to emotional eating and weight struggles, they explore how so many symptoms start in the gut — and why the real path forward isn’t restriction.
