The Protein Obsession: What We’re Missing About Nutrition

We've been told that protein is the ultimate health hack — that we need to hit a specific number of grams each day or risk losing muscle, energy, or progress. But what if this hyper-focus on protein is actually pulling us away from real nourishment?

In this episode, Dr. Connie breaks down the science behind protein needs — separating fact from fitness-industry fiction. You'll learn:

• What the RDA actually means (and why it's often misunderstood)
• How much protein is enough — and when it's too much
• The impact of protein obsession on gut health, mindset, and true well-being
• Why intuitive, whole-food-based eating is a more sustainable and empowering approach

If you're tired of tracking macros, overthinking meals, or feeling anxious about getting "enough," this episode will help you reclaim clarity and reconnect with your body's natural wisdom.
