Why Protein Matters
Protein is one of the three major macronutrients that provide the body with energy (the other two are carbohydrates and fats.) Protein is made up of long chains of amino acids, and nine of these amino acids are considered essential, meaning the body cannot produce them on its own. We must get them from the foods we eat. What Does Protein Do For Your Body? A Lot!! Protein plays a role in a wide range of essential processes that help keep your body functioning at its best. Mus

If Our Ancestors Didn't Take Supplements, Why Do We Need Them Now?
It’s a fair question. Our ancestors weren’t taking probiotics, omega capsules, and drinking protein shakes, yet many of them were incredibly resilient. They lived closer to the land, ate simply and relied on food, not supplements, for nourishment. So why, in a modern world overflowing with all kinds of food, has supplementation become so common? Truth be told, our ancestors weren't necessarily always perfectly nourished and as healthy as we may like to believe, but it is also
