One of the biggest issues I see when it comes to healing the gut, balancing hormones and supporting metabolic function is actually a lack of protein intake, especially by women

Most of our snacks are geared towards higher carbohydrates or higher fats, which is typical in convenience type foods, but also in grabbing a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit.

This isn’t to say that those choices are wrong, but did you know that for a food to be considered ‘high protein’ it only needs to hit 5g of protein per serve. That really isn’t much – in fact, rice can be considered a high protein food if you were to measure in this way.

But it’s not, it’s predominantly a carbohydrate. As a nutritionist, I see the confusion this causes all the time, and to be honest it can get super frustrating – not just for me, but clients as well because they think they’re doing the right thing.
