The protein obsession has gone too far

📩 Email: [email protected]

Have you noticed that everything in the supermarket now has a high-protein version? Protein bread, protein chips, protein water, even protein cookies, it feels like protein is everywhere.

Protein is essential for health, especially for muscle, but that doesn’t mean every food we eat needs to maximise protein. In fact, most people following a Western diet already get enough protein without trying.

In this video, I break down:
Why protein became the “hero nutrient” of the 2010s
The problem with adding protein to snacks like chips, cookies, and cakes
How much protein most people actually need
Why focusing only on protein can make us miss out on fibre, fruits, veggies, and micronutrients
And I share my own approach to protein in my day to day eating.

A little bit about me:
My name is Kamini. I have a Bachelor of Pharmacy with First Class Honours from Curtin University and I’m currently working as a registered pharmacist while completing my Master of Human Nutrition. As I learn through my work and studies, I enjoy sharing that knowledge here so we can all play the long game that is health, together.
