Hi, everyone, real quick before we get into today's episode. This podcast is a labor of love,

and I do it for free. I spend hours each week researching to create these episodes, all with

the goal of spreading science-based fitness information. And I want to continue releasing episodes

one to two times per week, but I need your help to grow it. So if you could do me a huge favor

and leave me a rating and review, if you haven't already, share it with a friend. I would also love

if you send a message to your favorite podcast hosts to recommend me as a guest.

And I can thank this audience for the podcast that I've been able to go on thus far. And going on other

podcasts also helps me spread these messages further and wider. All right, that's it. Let's get into

today's episode. This is our limited series Ask an R-D inside the Dr. Shannon show, where we ask

registered dietitians, some of your most pressing nutritional questions. I'm Dr. Shannon.

dietitian, and we are talking about the myth that you can only digest, or maybe it's not a myth,

Okay.

So mean girls, the limit does not exist.

And, okay, this is a little facetious, right?

Like there's obviously an amount of protein just looking at it practically that is not

going to be consumable to a certain point. But when you're looking at it in especially one serving,

studies show that an increased dosage of protein continues to increase muscle protein synthesis in that

setting through digestion.
