Protein Intake Explained: How Much You Need As You Age & on GLP-1s I YTC S1:C8

How much protein do you really need—and does that change as you get older (after 40) or if you’re taking GLP-1 medications? In this episode of the Health Yeah! Podcast, we discuss current *protein intake recommendations*, why protein becomes increasingly important with aging, and how adequate protein intake may help support muscle mass, satiety, metabolic health, and overall wellness. We also explore: • how much protein most adults may need • protein quality and food sources • aging and muscle loss (sarcopenia) • GLP-1 medications and protein intake As we age—or when appetite is reduced on GLP-1 medications—paying attention to protein intake becomes even more important for maintaining strength, function, and long-term health. 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and other major streaming platforms. 👉 Subscribe/follow for weekly evidence-based conversations on metabolic health, nutrition, fitness, and healthy aging. 💬 Comment below: Do you intentionally track or prioritize your daily protein intake? #Protein #GLP1 #HealthyAging #MuscleHealth #Nutrition #MetabolicHealth #Fitness #ProteinIntake #Sarcopenia #Wellness #HealthYeahPodcast
