Episode Description from the Publisher

Today is the 1st of our 5-episode PROTEIN SERIES! You asked, so you receive.   This month, we are diving into all things protein. Starting with our topic today: why we need to care about protein in the first place. It is not uncommon when folks hear the word “protein,” especially in relation to fitness, to picture a beyond yolked dude, veins exploding, shoveling raw chicken breast into his grizzly maw before getting back under the barbell to bench press the weight of a car… And it is true, protein is absolutely essential for muscle growth and repair…but the benefit of protein goes far beyond changing the shape of our body and supporting our workouts…in fact, it affects and supports just about every system in our body. Tired of trying to figure it out on your own? Brandi Sheehan (Kinsey's go to health coach) is running the next round of her 30-Day Metabolic Reset starting Monday, September 21st. Enrollment opens Monday, September 7th, with special Early Bird pricing available through Thursday, September 10th. Early Bird Discount
