Interestingly, I hear from people on both sides of the protein-eating spectrum: there are those who try to consume as much protein as possible, while others limit their intake. No matter where you are in your protein-consumption, there are some important things to know: &amp;nbsp;  Protein makes up the building blocks of our organs, muscles, skin, and hormones; our body needs protein for healthy living and to maintain and repair tissues.&amp;nbsp; Protein helps us meet our needs for the essential amino acids we need to get from food. Whether you eat meat or opt for a vegetarian or vegan diet, there are a variety of protein sources from which you can choose. Various life and health stages impact our need for protein.  &amp;nbsp; Hungry for more? In addition to the podcast, you can also check out my book,  The Little Book of Game-Changers: 50 Healthy Habits For Managing Stress &amp;amp; Anxiety, where I have a chapter dedicated to protein intake. &amp;nbsp; Want to learn more about me?
