Our adoration for protein as a nutrient is on the rise. Preoccupying the fitness community, littering our social media feeds and feeding into the fads that fuel diet culture. Our fixation is such that its estimated protein supplementation is expected to grow into a 3.6 billion dollar industry by 2028. So what’s the deal? Are we not getting enough protein? Is protein the key to optimal health? We’re discussing the realities of the nutrient, how we’ve become so consumed by it, and how we can establish a better relationship with our protein intake.
