Summary
EP. 268: Join my NEW community for Gen X women: https://www.skool.com/drtyna/about Protein has become one of the most talked-about topics in health and fitness, but how much do you actually need, and does the source matter? In this episode, I sit down with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, co-founder of Puori, for a deep dive into protein quality, muscle health, aging, and what consumers should know about the supplements they're taking. We explore why protein requirements increase as we age, the importance of leucine and muscle protein synthesis, and why many women are unintentionally under-eating protein. We also break down the differences between animal and plant proteins, discuss the growing concerns around heavy metals in protein powders, and explain how consumers can evaluate supplement quality for themselves. Topics Discussed: → How much protein do women really need after 40? → Is whey protein actually better than plant protein? → Why is leucine so important for muscle growth and longevity? → How do you know if your protein powder is safe and free of contaminants? → What are the best ways to maintain muscle as you age?
