Protein seems to be the most popular nutrient on the block right now.
From debates about plant versus animal protein, to the ongoing question about protein timing and if it really matters - our screens and feeds are full of it.
But what does the science say about protein?
We cover it all this week with our guest Simon Hill, a Nutritionist, Physiotherapist, author of The Proof Is In The Plants and host of The Proof podcast.
In this conversation we explore the nuances of protein consumption, covering everything from protein sources and optimal intake to how protein can impact strength training, and how this affects women in particular.
This episode will help you understand fact from fiction, and empower you with the knowledge to make the best choices for your diet.
