Is too much protein actually accelerating aging?
In this episode of the Fitness Wisdom Podcast, Joel Greene breaks down some of the biggest nutrition myths around protein, fat loss, gut health & longevity -> Explains why more protein isn’t always better.
We explore the concept of rhythmic eating, diet cycling & pulsing nutrition strategies, and why aligning with natural biological rhythms may be the key to sustainable fat loss, metabolic health & long-term longevity.
Joel dives into the controversial “Sugar Diet”, explaining how strategic carbohydrate intake can improve body composition, energy & microbiome health — while also challenging common beliefs around keto, carnivore & low-carb diets.
