19: Protein Power - The Secret To Fat Loss, Focus, & Longevity

 

Are you eating enough protein? Chances are, probably not.

In this episode of The Carly Bayless Podcast, we uncover the hidden power of protein—not just for muscle, but for fat loss, neurotransmitters, mood, and long-term vitality. Inspired by Dr. David Minkoff’s Search for the Perfect Protein and Drs. Michael & Mary Dan Eades’ Protein Power, we explore why protein quality and amino acid balance matter just as much as how many grams you’re getting each day.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why protein is the most metabolically active macronutrient for fat loss

  • How amino acids serve as the building blocks for neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA

  • What Dr. Minkoff and Dr. Eades discovered about protein quality and amino acid balance

  • How much protein you really need for optimal health (hint: way more than the RDA)

  • Practical tips for hitting your protein goals—even on a busy day

  • Common mistakes people make when trying to “eat more protein”

Whether your goals are fat loss, sharper focus, or simply more balanced energy, protein is the foundation your body can’t live without.

👉 Listen in, and discover how prioritizing protein can help your body do what God designed it to do: heal, balance, and thrive.
