2805: What Happens When You Over Do Protein Intake?

October 11, 2023

WW: What Happens When You Over Do Protein Intake?

In the health and wellness realm, discussions about protein can be very controversial.

While some advocate for high-protein, low-carb diets that yield short-term body transformation results, there are long-term concerns that are rarely addressed.

So today, I’d like to discuss research that dives into the effects of excessive protein intake on your body and provide some alternative approaches.

Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2805 to go over what happens when you overdo protein intake – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!
