Episode notes
Child's Joy Listening to Music
- Jordan's daughter experienced pure joy when hearing music through headphones for the first time.
- Music's powerful emotional impact is evident even in very young children experiencing it intimately.
Protein Per Meal Myth Debunked
- The idea that you can only metabolize 25 grams of protein per meal is a myth; you absorb nearly all protein you eat.
- Aim for 35-50 grams of protein per meal depending on your needs and don't limit yourself unnecessarily.
Practical Protein Intake Guidance
- You don't need 170 grams of protein daily unless you're a competitive athlete; 0.7 grams per pound of target body weight is sufficient.
- Use protein shakes and prioritize high protein foods to hit your goals, especially if appetite is affected by medication like GLP-1s.
