The Great Protein Debate: Why the RDA Is Not Enough (and How Much You Really Need)
The Protein Confusion: How Much Is “Too Much”? If you’ve ever wondered how much protein you really need and whether the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) is enough you’re not alone. For decades, protein intake has been debated between diet culture extremes: too much vs. too little.But here’s the truth: the RDA of 0.8 g/kg of body weight is a minimum to prevent deficiency, not a recommendation for thriving; especially after age 35. As I often tell my patients, RDA keeps you alive; it doesn’t keep you strong.

Catching Cancer Early: How Whole Blood Tests and Full-Body Scans Can Make a Difference- WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS TYPE OF TESTING.
Cancer is a word that carries weight for all of us. Too many people we love are diagnosed far too late, when treatment options are limited and outcomes are uncertain. Early detection gives us the power to act sooner, treat smarter, and save lives. While traditional screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap smears have changed the landscape of cancer care, they don’t catch every type of cancer early.
ApoB in 60 Seconds: The Essentials- What you need to know.
You’ve probably heard of LDL (“bad” cholesterol), but there’s a better way to measure your risk for heart disease and it starts with a gene called APOB.
Here’s the short version:
ApoB is a protein that helps carry cholesterol through your blood.
Every LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a) particle (types of cholesterol) has one ApoB protein.
That means the number of ApoB proteins in your blood tells you how many of these potentially harmful particles are floating around.
