326: The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Eating More Protein: Easy Hacks That Actually Work
#326: Protein is everywhere. But do we actually need to be thinking about protein this much? And how can we fit in the protein we need to be our healthiest, without thinking so much about it? Josie breaks down why protein matters for everything from maintaining muscle to supporting blood sugar, metabolism, and normal hormone function, while making the case that wellness culture may have taken the protein obsession a little too far. Instead of tracking macros or completely overhauling your diet, Josie shares the lazy-girl hacks she personally uses to make eating enough protein feel almost effortless. Think of this as your guide to eating more protein without making nutrition another full-time job.
