Americans are currently besotted with protein. It's touted as being good for muscle growth, weight loss, skincare, mental acuity, longevity, and much else besides. It's sold to men, women, children, the elderly— you can even buy protein for your pets. The protein supplement market alone is worth $21 billion and growing—and extra protein is being added to coffee, cereal, pasta, beer, ice cream, and popcorn. But as frenzied as we currently are about protein, this is not the first protein boom—or even the second. Protein has been promoted as a charismatic, cure-all nutrient for nearly two centuries. In this episode, with the help of Samantha King and Gavin Weedon, the authors of Protein: The Making of a Nutritional Superstar, we look closely at all our protein crazes and their associated protein products—from beef tea to whey powder—and see what they can tell us about our current protein mania. This episode was produced by Max Freedman. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. We had editing support from Josh Levin and fact-checking by Sophie Summergrad. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.

Text us a comment or question!If you're in your 50s or 60s and feeling like your metabolism has slowed down, your energy isn't what it used to be, or that stubborn weight is getting harder to lose… this episode is going to be a game-changer. Today I'm joined by Dr. Annie Lampella, the creator of KetoFocus, bestselling cookbook author, and nutrition expert with a deep background in genetics, metabolism, and biochemistry. After her second child, Annie lost 70 pounds at a time when “keto” barely existed in the mainstream… and over the last 13+ years, she's refined that approach into a sustainable, high-protein, low-carb lifestyle that supports fat loss, muscle maintenance, energy, and longevity. In this episode, we cut through the confusion and talk about what actually matters for people over 50 who want to lose fat, build muscle, and age strong. In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why keto worked for Annie - and why it's evolved into a more balanced low-carb, high-protein approachThe truth about ketosis, insulin, metabolic flexibility, and fat-burning (made simple and practical)Why strict keto is hard to sustain long-term - and what to do insteadHow carbs fit into a healthy diet after 50 (and what it means to “earn your carbs”)The #1 macronutrient most people over 50 are severely undereatingWhy protein is absolutely essential for preventing muscle loss, increasing strength, and improving metabolismHow aging affects appetite, digestion, and protein absorption - and why that means you need more protein, not lessThe biggest breakfast mistakes people make - and how to hit 30–40 grams of protein every morningSimple, high-protein meal ideas, snacks, and hacks you can start using todayHow to protect your muscles, bones, balance, and independence as you ageAnnie's favorite protein sources, protein powders, and daily habitsWhy strength training + high protein is the ultimate anti-aging combo Why This Matters for Anyone Over 50Most men and women in their 50s and 60s aren't struggling because of age - they're struggling because of decades of low-protein, low-muscle, high-carb, highly processed eating. The good news? You can reverse so much of this with the right nutrition and training strategy. Annie and I break down exactly how to get started in a way that's simple, sustainable, and enjoyable.

Proteins are crucial for life. They're made of amino acids that “fold” into millions of different shapes. And depending on their structure, they do radically different things in our cells. For a long time, predicting those shapes for research was considered a grand biological challenge.But in 2020, Google's AI lab DeepMind released Alphafold, a tool that was able to accurately predict many of the structures necessary for understanding biological mechanisms in a matter of minutes. In 2024, the Alphafold team was awarded a Nobel Prize in chemistry for the advance.Five years later after its release, Host Ira Flatow checks in on the state of that tech and how it's being used in health research with John Jumper, one of the lead scientists responsible for developing Alphafold.Guest: John Jumper, scientist at Google Deepmind and co-recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In this episode, you will learn:What are peptides? The basic science of these "small proteins" and how they signal cells to function.GLP-1s Explained: How drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro were originally developed for diabetes but have gained popularity for weight loss.The Big Picture: Peptides are used for more than just weight loss—Dr. Jones discusses their use in migraines, bone building, and studies for ALS and MS.The Weight Loss Surge: Why obesity and its link to chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol) is fueling interest in these drugs.The Critical Component: Why a GLP-1 shot is not enough—the medication must be combined with good nutrition, exercise, and psychological health for lasting success.Protein is Key: The importance of adequate protein intake and strength training to maintain muscle mass and prevent hair loss associated with rapid weight loss.The Inflammation Link: How GLP-1s can decrease inflammation (like high cortisol) which often causes stubborn abdominal fat and joint pain.Dispelling Myths: Separating real side effects (like minor hypoglycemia) from media fear-mongering (like blindness), and understanding that hair loss is often due to rapid weight loss, not the drug itself.Next Steps: Where to start if you are interested in peptide therapy and the importance of a consult with a pharmacist.Resources Mentioned:Your Health Wellness Team: Contact the team to schedule a consultation on weight loss goals and peptide therapy. www.YourHealth.Org

Epi 3Welcome back to The Cutting Edge! In this episode, Mel sits down with Dr. Omar Beidas, MD FACS (Plastic Surgeon) and Ashlyn Douglass-Barnes, LCSW (Bariatric & Trauma Therapist) for a deep dive on one of the most overlooked steps in plastic-surgery readiness after weight loss: protein intake, healing nutrition, and how your body actually recovers after surgery.If you're preparing for skin removal surgery, tummy tuck, arm lift, back lift, breast lift, lipo, or ANY post-weight-loss plastics… this episode is your new bible.We cover the exact protein targets, why low protein causes wound-healing complications, how seromas form, how drains work, why compression affects blood pressure, and why your surgeon keeps yelling “Get your protein in!”Plus: weird protein sources, vegetarian struggles, bug-based protein (yes, really), GLP-1 nausea tips, food noise vs cravings, and why bariatric patients struggle with solid protein.
In this episode, Alice and Sawyer take a deep dive into one of the most common questions in vegan fitness: how much protein do you really need?They break down evidence-based ranges for total body weight and lean mass, explain how needs shift during cutting, bulking, maintenance, aging, or recovery, and clear up common misconceptions in the vegan community.The conversation also covers satiety, muscle retention, metabolic health, and why carbs and resistance training matter just as much as protein.To wrap up, they share their favorite practical high-protein vegan foods that make it easy to hit your goals without obsession, from seitan and soy curls to protein cereals, tofu hacks, pastas, and homemade staples.

To meet the sustainability goals of Agenda 2030, there is a push for alternative, cruelty-free meat and GMOs. Many people are unaware of the mutant foods they are eating, and have no warning or indication as to how the food was made or prepared. With the push for a Socialist green economy and the overblown quest to eliminate methane from the atmosphere, foods are being brought to market that could be made with a chemistry set instead of what nature has to offer. Henry Kissinger once said, "he who controls the food controls the world." It is also evident that he who renames the food for political reasons controls what is being consumed and what isn't.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Oath Nutrition Clear Protein, a protein powder that's breaking all the rules. Imagine a protein shake that looks like juice, tastes like a blue raspberry popsicle, and claims to have zero added sugar. Sounds impressive, right? But Jenn's not just taking their word for it, she's making an informed decision based on the nutrition label by asking questions like what exactly is the "acidification process" they use? Why are there three different sweeteners if there's no added sugar? And hold on—why is the spirulina only there for color when it could actually be adding nutrients? Jenn digs into the science, the marketing, and the ingredient label to figure out if this Instagram-worthy protein powder is the real deal or just another pretty package. The verdict might surprise you. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?

Have you noticed the increase in protein in health messaging? Have we all been lacking sufficient protein until now, or is this just the latest food marketing fad, similar to the fat-free trend of the 1990s?

In episode 172 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with wellness leader Liz Plosser to unpack the practical power of essential amino acids (EAAs) for women in midlife. Liz shares how auditing her protein (moving from ~40–50g/day to 100–130g), lifting heavier, and adding a simple EAA + creatine ritual transformed her recovery, sleep, energy, and body composition. You'll learn how leucine acts as the “on-switch” for muscle protein synthesis, why EAAs raise blood amino acids faster than food or even whey, and exactly how to time them around training—especially if you love early-morning or fasted workouts.They get into real-life scenarios: perimenopause and muscle loss, plant-forward diets that miss the leucine threshold, travel days with low appetite, and periods of stress when whole-food intake dips. Liz explains how she pairs EAAs with creatine for stronger training and steadier energy, and why she still prioritizes whole-food protein as her foundation. You'll also hear when not to sip EAAs (e.g., during longer fasts for autophagy goals) and how to keep perspective by focusing on the “big rocks” first—strength, cardio, sleep, stress, connection, and simple, protein-forward meals.Finally, Dr. Anthony and Liz compare EAAs vs. whey vs. whole food, outline quick-start dosing/timing ideas, and share easy kitchen and gym habits that make consistency feel effortless. Whether you're rebuilding strength after a lull, navigating hormone changes, or just want a cleaner way to support recovery, this episode gives you a clear, actionable playbook to get stronger and feel amazing—without overcomplicating your routine.Key TakeawaysEAAs rapidly raise blood aminos and trigger MPS.Leucine threshold (~2–3 g) is the on-switch for MPS.EAAs are great pre/during/post—especially for fasted AM training.Aging = anabolic resistance; EAAs help bridge the gap.Food = slow, whey = faster, EAAs = fastest availability.Pair EAAs with creatine for strength, recovery, and body comp.Useful for travel, low appetite, and plant-forward meals.Focus on “big rocks” first: strength, cardio, sleep, stress, nutrition.EAAs complement—don't replace—high-quality whole-food protein.Skip EAAs during longer fasts if autophagy is the goal.Learn More about Liz Plosser and Kion:Website: Go to getkion.com/fitmother and save 20%Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizplosser/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LizBakerPlosserSubstack: https://lizplosser.substack.com/Kion's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kion/Biographical Information on Liz PlosserLiz Plosser is the former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, where for seven years she oversaw the brand across its print and digital platforms and various brand extensions, reaching a monthly audience of 44+ million.

E347 | The 30/30 Protein Rule: Building Muscle & Burning Fat for Men's Health | The Prime Podcast It's Week 2 of Men's Health Month! In this vital episode, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss of The Prime Podcast are talking about the single most important nutritional component for men: PROTEIN. Many men in their 30s and 40s struggle with weight gain and low energy, wondering why they can't eat like they did in their 20s. This episode provides the answer. Dr. Skip explains how a man's metabolism shifts after age 22 and why building muscle is the only true way to burn fat and support healthy testosterone levels. Discover the "30/30 Rule" – consuming 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking – as the essential first step to "win the morning" and prime your body for fat burning. Learn why amino acids are the true building blocks of muscle, why working out fully fasted can damage your gains, and how "thinness does not equal fitness." This episode is a must-listen for any man looking to lose stubborn visceral fat, naturally rebalance Low T, and build sustainable strength and health. Key Takeaways: To lose fat, you MUST build muscle. Muscle is your body's primary fat-burner. The 30/30 Rule: 30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking is critical. Amino acids are the essential building blocks for muscle. Wait 60-90 minutes after waking to drink coffee to avoid a massive cortisol (stress hormone) spike. Working out in a fully fasted state can cause your body to burn its own muscle for energy. Focus on strength and health, not just being "thin." "Thinness does not equal fitness." Losing visceral fat is the key to naturally rebalancing Low T. Gentlemen, it's time to lead your family in health. Start by focusing on protein and strength.

Trying to eat more without gaining weight? Wondering how much protein you actually need — or if you’ve gone overboard? And what about that burning reflux that ruins your sleep? In this week’s episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell cut through the confusion with practical, no-BS advice that real women can use every day. Here’s what you’ll learn: The truth about “free foods” and fat loss — what dietitians really mean by low-calorie “free” foods, and how to use them to bulk up meals, feel satisfied, and enjoy more flavour without blowing your calories. Protein myths busted — how much women actually need for fat loss, hormones and muscle support, what “too much” looks like, and why overdoing protein can leave you bloated, gassy, and tired. Healthy, affordable protein swaps — the best whole-food and budget-friendly sources of protein (and why most “protein everything” snacks aren’t helping your gut or your wallet). Smarter drink choices for summer — the surprising truth about tonic water sugar, and the best low-sugar options for your next G&T or alcohol-free spritz. Reflux fixes that actually work — how to eat at night without triggering reflux, which foods make it worse, and the simple evening habits that can finally help you sleep better. If you want to eat well, feel full, and still hit your health goals — without tracking every calorie or giving up your favourite foods — this episode is your blueprint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Abby explains why a sufficiency-based approach to women's health research matters, and why “the science is settled” is the wrong way to think about female physiology. We dig into metabolic changes in midlife, low energy availability, and why so many women are unintentionally under-fuelling while feeling “weight-loss resistant.” Abby shares her latest work on nutrient timing, fed vs fasted training, pre-exercise protein, and how progressive resistance training (with and without creatine) can rapidly improve muscle, fat mass, bone and confidence in midlife women. We also touch on GLP-1s, metabolic flexibility, CGMs, and daily urine hormone tracking as emerging tools for understanding this life stage.Episode highlightsWhy women's research needs a “sufficiency” rather than “scarcity” mindsetHow under-eating, stress and low energy availability drive metabolic slowdown in midlifeFed vs fasted training, pre-workout protein, and practical nutrient timing for womenNew data on resistance training, creatine, and rapid changes in muscle, fat and bone in perimenopauseUsing CGMs and daily urine hormone tracking to better understand symptoms and tailor training Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

In this eye-opening episode, we take a closer look at two health concerns hiding in plain sight — the radiation risks of medical imaging in children and the hidden heavy metals lurking in popular protein supplements.First, we unpack the latest research on how diagnostic imaging — from CT scans to X-rays — can increase long-term cancer risks for kids. Then, we switch gears to the fitness world to ask: Is your protein shake as clean as you think it is? You might be surprised by what recent lab tests have found.www.georgebatista.com

Protein sources, seed oil panic, aspartame fears — nutritional scientist Dr. Layne Norton dismantles the internet's favorite fitness myths here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1234What We Discuss with Dr. Layne Norton:Total protein intake matters more than source. Once you consume 30-40 grams of protein in a sitting, the specific source becomes largely irrelevant since the muscle-building signal gets saturated.Aspartame fears are scientifically unfounded. Despite popular panic, artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin spikes, increase hunger, or cause diabetes. Cancer risks only appear at 10,000x normal consumption in lab rats.Context over absolutes defines expert communication. Real experts rarely use words like "always," "never," "best," or "worst." They provide nuance, acknowledge uncertainty, and present opposing viewpoints before explaining their position.Emotional manipulation drives supplement marketing. The more exclamation points and extreme claims in marketing, the less likely it's legitimate. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just assertion.Listen to how fitness experts (or any experts, for that matter) speak, not just what they say. Train yourself to recognize measured, contextual language that acknowledges complexity. When you spot fear-mongering or absolute statements, investigate deeper and demand evidence before accepting claims.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
