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

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.
