She also offers practical strategies for increasing protein intake, especially for those looking to build muscle or follow a plant-based lifestyle, and emphasizes the importance of choosing safe, high-quality supplements.

Quotes to ponder:

"Despite what you may have heard from an Instagram influencer or Tiktok video, there is no single type of diet that is best for everyone."

"Good nutrition does not have to be complicated, and it does not mean only one type of diet."

"Protein supplements are not a necessary part of a healthy diet if you are able to get adequate protein from food sources."
