0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast,
0:02.5	The fundamental building blocks of proteins are amino acids.
0:06.6	And there's 20 main amino acids that create the majority of the proteins in our body.
0:12.4	And when these proteins in our body naturally break down, we lose some of those amino acids.
0:17.9	And they're naturally excreted through our urine as urea.
0:23.1	So we have to get those back. And if we don't get those back, literally our organs can't function.
0:29.5	Hi friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. I'm your host, Courtney

1:20.1	comprehensive 101 on protein for you guys. What amino acids are, why protein is so important in the diet,
1:30.6	what it does for satiety and cravings,
1:35.1	why is lean muscle mass so incredibly important for our metabolism and also for aging?
1:40.8	We dive a lot into the bioavailability of proteins in specific foods, and we talk about plant-based proteins versus animal-based proteins, which are more bioavailable,
