S1 E8: Protein Needs Are Not One-Size-Fits-All

Protein is often treated as a universal prescription, but real protein needs vary widely. In this episode of Root + Nourish, we talk about why protein requirements change based on stress, activity level, digestion, life stage, and overall energy availability. We explore complete vs. incomplete proteins, amino acids, and why “more protein” isn’t always the answer. This episode helps listeners understand protein as a tool for support and repair (not a rigid target) and offers a more flexible way to think about meeting protein needs in real life.
