## Resource

You can be eating a healthy diet and still be undernourished. In this episode of Renegade Remission , we explore one of the most overlooked reasons people with chronic or serious illness may feel weak, depleted, shaky, slow to recover, or like their body is not rebuilding the way it should: not getting enough protein. Protein is not just for athletes or muscle building. It provides the amino acids your body uses to make immune cells, antibodies, enzymes, neurotransmitters, connective tissue, hormones, and the raw materials needed for repair. During illness, inflammation, treatment, stress, infection, injury, or muscle loss, your need for protein may be higher than you realize. In this episode, you’ll understand: Why a “healthy” diet can still be too low in protein How protein supports immunity, tissue repair, blood sugar, strength, and recovery Why muscle is one of the body’s most important reserves during illness How to recognize subtle signs that you may not be getting enough protein Simple ways to add more protein in forms your body can actually tolerate Listen now to learn how much protein a healing body may need and how to begin supporting your strength, energy, and recovery one meal at a time.
