Today, we’re continuing our Back to Basics series with a deep dive into protein intake. Last week, we discussed hydration and how to make sure you’re getting enough, and now we’re focusing on protein—where to get it from, how to improve your intake, and why it matters. When it comes to protein, many people get caught up in finding the "best" source. Instead, let’s focus on what you’re already eating and make small adjustments to improve from there. The simpler we keep it, the better it will work for you. Tune in for insights on how to identify your current protein sources, easy ways to improve your intake, and how consistency—rather than perfection—can help you make lasting changes to your nutrition. This episode will guide you through practical tips that don’t overwhelm, but instead make protein work for you!
