In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s fitness: protein. Protein plays an important role in changing your body composition, but it’s not the magic solution many influencers make it out to be.

I break down what protein actually does in your body—how it supports muscle repair, helps you feel full, and slightly increases your energy expenditure—and what it can’t do (spoiler: it doesn’t “burn fat”). You’ll also learn why resistance training, recovery, and consistency—what I call the“boring basics”—are still the real miracle tools for building strength and maintaining muscle, whether or not weight loss is part of your journey.

You’ll learn:

Why eating protein without strength training won’t maintain muscle
How protein supports satiety, recovery, and metabolism
What is the thermic effect of food (and how small that impact really is)
Why the “boring basics” are anything but boring when it comes to results

Mentioned in this episode:

GLP-1 medications and muscle maintenance
Common misconceptions about protein and fat loss
Evidence-based basics for sustainable body recomposition
