As always, our goal is to have practical, evidence-based conversations around health, nutrition, and healthy aging. 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and other major streaming platforms. 👉 Subscribe/follow for weekly conversations on metabolic health, nutrition, fitness, and healthy aging. 💬 Comment below: What are your thoughts on seed oils and processed foods? #SeedOils #PUFA #Nutrition #MetabolicHealth #HealthyEating #ProcessedFoods #Wellness #Inflammation #HealthyAging #HealthYeahPodcast

Protein Intake Explained: How Much You Need As You Age & on GLP-1s I YTC S1:C8

How much protein do you really need—and does that change as you get older (after 40) or if you’re taking GLP-1 medications? In this episode of the Health Yeah! Podcast, we discuss current protein intake recommendations, why protein becomes increasingly important with aging, and how adequate protein intake may help support muscle mass, satiety, metabolic health, and overall wellness. We also explore: • how much protein most adults may need • protein quality and food sources • aging and muscle loss (sarcopenia) • GLP-1 medications and protein intake As we age—or when appetite is reduced on GLP-1 medications—paying attention to protein intake becomes even more important for maintaining strength, function, and long-term health. 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and other major streaming platforms. 👉 Subscribe/follow for weekly evidence-based conversations on metabolic health, nutrition, fitness, and healthy aging. 💬 Comment below: Do you intentionally track or prioritize your daily protein intake? #Protein #GLP1 #HealthyAging #MuscleHealth #Nutrition #MetabolicHealth #Fitness #ProteinIntake #Sarcopenia #Wellness #HealthYeahPodcast
