In This Episode:
Are protein powders really good for you? With so many options available, deciding which one fits your health goals can be overwhelming.
Protein is the necessary building block of human health. Protein is important for muscle health and muscle recovery, fat burning, improving lean body tissue, stabilizing blood sugar levels, reducing cravings, supporting satiety, and many other areas of your health.
The question is…are protein powders healthy? What are the pros and cons of using protein powders to support your protein levels? Finally, what are the best protein powders to use?
In this episode of the Dr. Jockers Podcast, we dive deep into the world of protein powders—uncovering each type’s facts, myths, and key benefits.
Whether you’re looking to build muscle, improve gut health, or simply understand how protein affects your body, this episode covers it all.
Why Whey Protein is King
If you’re serious about muscle growth, whey protein is a game-changer. With high leucine content, whey protein is known for its ability to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
But what makes it better than other types of protein powders? We discuss the science behind whey protein and how it stacks up against plant-based alternatives like peas and hemp.
Collagen for Gut and Joint Health
You’ve probably heard about collagen, but did you know it’s not just for your skin? In this episode, we explore how collagen protein can support your gut, joints, and overall well-being.
While it doesn’t build muscle, collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s structural integrity.
The Insulin Factor: A Common Mistake
One of the most common mistakes people make with protein powders is overlooking their impact on insulin levels. For those struggling with insulin resistance, this can be a game-changer. We break down how whole food proteins compare to powders in terms of insulin response and what you need to consider before adding them to your diet.
