Protein is everywhere — powders, bars, and drinks — but is more always better? In this episode, we cut through the hype to uncover what protein is actually doing in your body, how it affects blood sugar and diabetes health, and how much you really need to stay healthy long term.
You'll learn:
• What the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) really means (and why most people misinterpret it)
• Why eating more protein doesn't necessarily lead to better health outcomes
• The surprising risks of high-protein diets — including increased risk of diabetes and mortality
• How plant-based protein sources support insulin sensitivity without the downsides of animal protein
• Why you don't need to stress about "getting enough" protein on a low-fat, plant-based diet
• If you've ever wondered whether you're eating too little, too much, or just the right amount of protein, this conversation will give you clarity and peace of mind.
• Philip's Testimonial

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. Welcome to the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience. In today's episode, we're |
| 0:09.5 | cutting through the hype. You'll learn what protein is actually doing inside your body, |
| 0:14.7 | how it affects your diabetes and your blood sugar, and most importantly, how much you really |
| 0:20.2 | need to stay healthy for the long |
| 0:22.2 | term. If you've ever wondered whether you're eating too little, too much, or just enough |
| 0:27.5 | protein, this episode will give you clarity and maybe even challenge some of the beliefs |
| 0:33.6 | you've held for years. But before we start today's show, I would like to put a spotlight |
| 0:38.7 | on our weekly newsletter. Every week, we email a new recipe, and we also share success stories |
| 0:45.7 | from our members in our coaching program. A recent story we featured was Philip. Now, they say you can't |
| 0:52.3 | teach an old dog new tricks, but this story begs to differ. At age |
| 0:56.2 | 72, Philip has the best A1C he's ever had in his life living with diabetes. Before starting the |
| 1:04.2 | mastering diabetes program, his A1C was around 7.5. After the first three months of small group coaching, it came down to 6.2, and today, |
| 1:16.5 | it's now 5.6, a non-diabetic A1C. When he was asked about his experience in the coaching program, |
| 1:24.9 | here's what he said. Well, I just want to say, you know, having led therapy groups in my life for over four decades, |
| 1:33.1 | I've done groups, and of course I've done individual. The group has everything you need. |
| 1:37.8 | The tools are there, the support is there, and the accountability is there. |
| 1:44.0 | So I would tell people that if you're ready to make the lifestyle change, you don't need any more than that. |
| 1:50.3 | That will help you do it. |
| 1:53.2 | So there you have it. |
