PODCAST: How Much Protein Is Too Much?

Are you getting enough protein—or too much?

In this episode of Wishing You Well, Maria Patrick, Health Coach, breaks down the truth about protein intake in a simple, balanced, and approachable way. With so much conflicting advice online, it’s easy to feel confused about how much protein your body really needs—especially for women over 40 focused on aging powerfully, maintaining muscle, and supporting overall health.

Maria explains the ideal daily protein range, why more isn’t always better, and how to recognize the signs of both too little and too much protein. You’ll also learn how to space protein throughout the day, why breakfast is key, and how to choose high-quality protein sources that support your gut, metabolism, and energy levels.

If you’re tired of extremes and ready for a grounded, nourishing approach to nutrition, this episode will help you feel confident, informed, and back in tune with your body.

Tune in to learn:

•How much protein you actually need each day

•The risks of eating too much protein

•Why protein balance matters more than protein obsession

•The best protein sources for energy, muscle, and longevity

•Simple ways to add protein to your daily routine

This is your reminder that health isn’t about perfection—it’s about balance.
