Robert Whitfield MD explains why sleep and protein matter for recovery. Most people don't eat enough protein, especially women. Aim for about 1 gram per pound of body weight daily, and without it, even good medical care won't work as well.
Approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.
Just for everybody listening, I'm going to ask you how long you're sleeping. If you try to lie to me, I'm going to find you out. So when you say you're sleeping enough, I'm like, oh, okay. From when to win, you're going to say, oh, nine or ten till, you know, seven or eight in the morning. I'm like, oh, okay. Do you have to take a nap in the afternoon? And if they say yes. So there's two problems or two, their protein content's too low. So we try to get everybody on a gram per pound of body weight. That's simple to remember. Most people don't take enough protein in their diet, especially women. My, my only thing is that you need enough protein and or amino acids in your diet to recover. If you can't do those two things, it doesn't matter how good you are taking care of their thyroid or I am at doing their surgery, they're going to struggle back to the basics, right?
