In this video, we dive into the REAL truth about protein intake for older adults and why it’s crucial for preserving muscle mass as we age. Spoiler alert: It’s not just about total body weight — it’s about your lean body mass.

I’ll break down how to calculate your personal protein needs, explain why getting the right amount of protein is so important, and give you practical tips on how to spread your protein intake throughout the day to maximize muscle growth and recovery.
