We also cover the benefits of collagen protein, which doesn't build muscle but is great for gut health and joint support. Learn how to balance collagen with other protein sources for overall wellness.

 

Lastly, we discuss a common mistake—overlooking the impact of protein powders on insulin levels. Find out why whole food protein may be better for those managing insulin resistance.
