BE THAT LIFE EXPERIENCE with Mary Cristine

Show Notes

Protein: The most misunderstood nutrient of our time.

And finally, we’re breaking it down—science, myths, and what your body actually needs.

In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Rupy Aujla, former NHS doctor, bestselling author, and founder of The Doctor’s Kitchen, who just launched a high-protein cookbook to help us all get stronger, leaner, and healthier through real food.

We talk:

Why most people are under-consuming protein

How your needs shift based on gender, age, hormones, and activity

The Stacy Sims perspective on why women need more protein, not less

Plant vs animal protein: what's really best for your body

Why protein is the key to fat loss, satiety, and metabolism

And… how to eat more protein without turning your kitchen into a chemistry lab

This is your comprehensive guide to protein, especially if you're confused by the chaos of trendy diets, macros, or supplement marketing.

Whether you're vegan, carnivore, or somewhere in between… this is the episode you need to hear.
