Protein is hot right now. Everywhere you look there’s a new protein shake, bar, or “high-protein” product popping up—and Tim Hortons is the latest to join in with their brand-new protein latte. But is it actually a good option, or just clever marketing?

In this episode, I’m breaking it all down for you:

• Why most people (and especially athletes) aren’t actually getting enough protein, even if the internet says you are

• How much protein you really need per day, and why timing matters just as much as total intake

• The truth about shakes, bars, and supplements—when they make sense, and when they don’t

• My honest review of Tim Hortons’ protein latte (spoiler: it wasn’t what I expected!)

• Why this product surprised me—in a good way—and how it stacks up compared to other menu items with savvy marketing claims

If you’ve been curious about the protein latte or just want to make smarter choices about how you fuel your body, this episode is for you.

The Biggest Loser was more than a TV show — it shaped how a whole generation thought about weight, health, and even self-worth. But what happens when the messages we grew up with were harmful all along?

In this episode, I dive into The Biggest Loser documentary and share my own personal experiences of growing up in the era of weight loss TV. From the humiliation contestants faced, to the unrealistic expectations it created for all of us watching at home, to one made for TV moment that still makes me feel emotional to this day — I unpack the emotional and cultural impact these shows left behind.

We’ll talk about what The Biggest Loser got wrong, how those messages still linger in our lives, and most importantly, how we can start making it right.
