About this episode
Protein is in everything right now: coffee, chips, cookies, bars.

Fresh off the Protein Summit 3.0 at Texas A&M, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down what top researchers agreed on, why treating protein as a single number is a major mistake, and how to stop falling for "high-protein" health halos in the grocery store.
