High-Protein Ultra-Processed Foods, Low Appetite, and Balancing Cardio with Strength

This week we’re digging into a new study on high-protein ultra-processed foods (spoiler: protein doesn’t magically cancel out junk food), plus your biggest questions on appetite, cardio vs. strength, and working out with hypothyroidism. We talk about our thoughts on “belly fat,” why your hunger might have gone MIA, and how to find the right workout balance without losing your mind.

[4:00] Discussion: study that looked at protein enriched foods

[14:40] I’d love to know how to increase my appetite.

[36:14] What’s a good ratio of cardio vs strength per week?

[39:26] This question is about hypothyroidism - I take a medicine first thing in the morning and I’m not supposed to eat for a full hour after taking. It’s also the only time I have to workout - am I doing damage working out on an empty stomach?
