View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter David Allison is a world-renowned scientist and award-winning scientific writer who has spent more than two decades at the forefront of obesity research. In this episode, David joins for his third appearance on The Drive to bring clarity to one of the most contentious topics in modern nutrition—protein. He explores the historical pattern of demonizing macronutrients, the origins and limitations of the RDA for protein, and what the evidence really says about higher protein intake, muscle protein synthesis, and whether concerns about harm are supported by actual data. He also discusses the challenges of conducting rigorous nutrition studies, including the limits of epidemiology and crossover designs, as well as conflicts of interest in nutrition science and why transparency around data, methods, and logic matter more than funding sources. The episode closes with a discussion on processed and ultra-processed foods, the public health challenges of tackling obesity, and whether future solutions may depend more on drugs like GLP-1 agonists or broader societal changes. This is part one of a two-part deep dive on protein, setting the stage for next week's conversation with Rhonda Patrick. We discuss: The cyclical pattern of demonizing different macronutrients in nutrition and why protein has recently become the latest target of controversy [3:15]; The origin and limits of the protein RDA: from survival thresholds to modern optimization [6:30]; Trust vs. trustworthiness: why data, methods, and logic matter more than motives in science [13:30]; The challenges of nutrition science: methodological limits, emotional bias, and the path to honest progress [17:15]; Why the protein RDA is largely inadequate for most people, and the lack of human evidence that high protein intake is harmful [30:30]; Understanding the dose-response curve for muscle protein synthesis as protein intake increases [45:15]; Why nutrition trials are chronically underpowered due to weak economic incentives, and how this skews evidence quality and perceptions of conflict [48:15]; The limitations and biases of nutrition epidemiology, and the potential role of AI-assisted review to improve it [56:15]; The lack of compelling evidence of harm with higher protein intake, and why we should shift away from assuming danger [1:04:15]; Pragmatic targets for protein intake [1:09:30]; Defining processed and ultra-processed foods and whether they are inherently harmful [1:16:15]; The search for a guiding principle of what's healthy to eat: simple heuristics vs. judging foods by their molecular composition [1:25:00]; Why conventional public health interventions for obesity have largely failed [1:38:15]; Two ideas from David for addressing the metabolic health problem in society [1:42:30]; The potential of GLP-1 agonists to play a large role in public health [1:46:30]; and More.

For years, many believed that eating more protein would block the body's cellular clean-up process, and that only low-protein fasting diets could deliver longevity benefits. But does the science actually back that up? This new randomized controlled trial put high-protein and low-protein diets head-to-head, measuring weight loss, belly fat, metabolic health, and markers of autophagy.

What do our kids actually eat — and is it as healthy as we think? This week on The Nutrition Couch, we unpack brand new research showing that 81% of snacks marketed to children are ultra-processed, raising major concerns about how packaging, peer pressure, and manipulative marketing are shaping kids’ diets. Leanne and Susie share practical advice for parents, including the best snack brands that pass the dietitian test. Then — the creatine gummy scandal you need to know about. A wave of independent testing reveals that most popular gummy brands contain only a fraction of the creatine they claim, with some delivering as little as 16%. We break down why it’s happening, why the science matters, and what to look for in a legitimate creatine supplement. We also dive into the surprisingly heated debate over broccoli stalks (do you eat them or snap them off?), and Susie shares her thoughts on a new product she’s loving: Riverina Dairy’s high-protein feta, which delivers 12g of protein per serve with a clean ingredient list. And in our listener question of the week: “I’ve just been diagnosed with osteopenia — what should I do next?” We explore the key nutrients, lifestyle changes, and exercise strategies to help strengthen your bones and reduce future risk. Whether you’re a parent, a supplement user, or just someone trying to eat better without the overwhelm — this episode will leave you informed and empowered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Creating your own protein bars is an excellent idea for so many reasons. My primary motivation is that these bars are high in protein. This grab and go item fits perfectly into a workout morning. Knowing that ingredients in your bar creates confidence in nutritional density. The no bake feature is an additional win. Finally, another compelling reason remains the cost savings versus spending $3 or more for a store bought choice.

In this episode, I break down the pros and cons of the popular practice of consuming energy bars as a supposedly nutritious snack on the go. The inspiration for this show was an exciting spicy battle between health experts Dr. Layne Norton and Gary Brecka on Instagram, where they debated the merits of the new David High Protein bar. I talk about the ingredients in these bars, the processing methods, and the overall sketchy nature of the energy bar industry, even when the bars are touted as super healthy. I also reflect on the history of energy bars, my personal experience as one of the first PowerBar-sponsored athletes, and how the original idea of energy bars was for elite athletes, not for snacking during your workday. I challenge the whole premise of needing energy bars and advocate for metabolic flexibility, fasting, and focusing on nutritious meals instead. I share my go-to snacks, why I’m such a fan of dark chocolate, and why even the so-called cleanest protein bars are not a nutritional centerpiece.
