Protein Myths Unpacked: Fuel Your Health

Counterculture Health

Are you getting enough protein in your diet, or have you fallen for the common misconceptions about meat and plant-based diets? Welcome to Episode 3 of "Counterculture Health," where your favorite health rebels, Jennifer McWaters and Kaitlin Reed, dive deep into the world of protein and its critical role in not just muscle development, but in maintaining hormonal balance, metabolic health, and even your mood!

In this episode, we unravel the protein puzzle for women, especially during key hormonal shifts like menopause, and explore why so many of us are running on empty with low energy and mood swings.

We'll also tackle the controversial topic of meal tracking—can it really be a force for good in your health journey? Plus, we discuss ethical meat consumption, bust myths about the health impacts of red meat, and give you the lowdown on choosing the right protein powder without the heavy metal soundtrack.

Don't miss our practical tips on protein-rich snacks, meal planning for optimal intake, and how to navigate dietary choices if you're lactose intolerant. And for all you ethical eaters, we've got a meaty discussion on the real costs of plant-based diets versus ethically raised meat.
