🧬 PROTEIN IS EVERYTHING

Did you know the human body contains over 20,000 different proteins, each with its own purpose? Most think protein is just for muscle, but that’s a small portion of what protein does. Protein has a huge job.

Protein fuels your cells, powers your brain, and keeps your entire body functioning smoothly.

Protein Powder

⚠️ What You Should Know About Quality

Be selective with your protein sources. While many products on U.S. shelves are not FDA-approved or monitored, many contain preservatives and additives that aren’t ideal for long-term health. I know, how can you protect yourself from so many companies that don’t really care?


WELLLL, consider supplementing with clean, third-party-tested protein powders that have labels protecting and ensuring you a safe product that has what they say they do, especially in their ingredients.

Always do research before choosing a brand.


One brand I always use and recommend is Thorne.


Many food products from Eastern countries tend to have cleaner ingredients as well and stricter quality standards, a helpful consideration when choosing protein powders or packaged foods.


🥦 It’s Not Just About Meats

Let’s bust a myth: protein isn’t only found in meat or fish. Many vegetables are also excellent protein sources and can round out a balanced diet. I also try and also to make sure most of the time that i am eating from a trusted resorce.
