💪 How Much Protein Do We Need Daily? | The Truth About Protein & Longevity | Dr. Joanette

Do you know how much protein we need daily to stay strong, healthy, and age well? I’m Dr. Joanette, your longevity expert, and in this video, I’ll reveal the science behind protein intake, muscle loss, and longevity.

Most of us have been told to “eat less to live longer,” but here’s the truth: cutting calories and protein can make us lose muscle instead of fat — accelerating aging and weakness. I’ll walk you through how much protein your body really needs, how to space it throughout the day, and what I personally include in my own longevity nutrition plan.
