Dr. Axe, I am so grateful for you and how the Lord is using you in your platform. I have been following many of your tips now. Starting with increasing my protein intake throughout my meals and I have finally started loosing stubborn hypo weight I had gained and couldn’t drop. I have already lost 8 pounds in a span of about 2 months also added walks after every meal. Thank you Dr Axe may the Lord bless you and your family 🙏🏼🥹
I agree that protein is the most important macronutrient. You mentioned that protein can help you lose weight because it makes you burn more body fat and feel satiated. But protein can also help you gain weight if you are very thin because it helps build muscle.
I grew up in a medical family, my grandparents had lots of protein, but because my family & extended family was in the medical profession, when the low fat study was leaked...all of them switched to low fat...because "why would they study it if is wasn't the best?" Our protein went way down, carbs went up. Since being very sick I have tried ever way of eating. Prioritizing Protein is the only way as a menopausal female I can get enough protein. It has to be protein first and all else is a "nice to have." Get your protein, save your muscles, save your bones!
Dr. Axe... my husband passed away back in June from kidney disease and complications from a rare disease called diabetic amyotrophy neuropathy which destroys muscles throughout the body. Since he had kidney disease, stage 5, he was told he had to decrease his protein intake because his creatinine levels were so high, and that caused his Glomular function rate to drop consistently. We were making progress until he wanted to eat what he wanted, and everything went downhill from there. He couldn't do dialysis because of his muscles atrophying, and he had too much scar tissue in his stomach area from when he got attacked by a bore on a bore hunting trip with his feiends when he was stationed in Hawaii..., so dialysis was out of the picture... perhaps you could help me understand why people with kidney disease can't eat protein.... thanks... 😊
As a kidney dietitian I can answer that question. As the kidneys decline they are no longer able to filter out as well a waste product from muscles called creatinine, and it rises in the blood. Protein especially from meats creates waste products when it gets metabolized that the kidneys now have to filter out and that further damages the glomerulus or the filtering units of the kidney. Protein restriction helps to preserve kidney function. But that does not mean that you eat no protein at all and become malnourished. You still have to eat adequate protein but not excessive protein. Once you go on dialysis you will be recommended extra protein.
I bloom flavour less grass fed beef gelatin in the morning and then put a spoonful of it in my cups of tea or other drinks that I consume during the day. Great and easy way to get your protein and amino acids.
Beef, full fat Greek yogurt, and eggs are super foods I put into my body each and every day. I also supplement with a high quality whey protein (Naked and Levels are both excellent protein brands with minimal ingredients) I’m about 195 lbs and shoot for 150-200 grams of protein per day. Also supplement with creatine monohydrate!
You can eat your daily protein amount in one meal. New studies found that we can use minimum 100 grams of protein in one sitting without wasting it. Possibly more but minimum 100 grams.
I do carnivore(more like ketovore) and they say to eat the amount of protein for my IDEAL weight. That would be 160-170. I am at 180 but I have a hard time consuming 160-170 grams of protein. I usually have around 120. Some days more some days less. I will have a small amount of carbs most days.
When I have blood work they show how much protein say it small but negative is this protein the same as food protein? Why is this protein showing in blood 🩸 work?
Dr. Axe obviously didn’t select the Premier Protein picture in the video thumbnail.😂 100% he doesn’t recommend GMO soybean oil, not one but two artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, and synthetic vitamins.
Interesting video. The Mayo Clinic advises .8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. I try to limit the amount of carbohydrates, regardless of how much protein I consume. When you talk about kidney disease, does age have an effect? An NIH study of the effect of high protein on cats, showed “Increased dietary protein/calorie intake significantly increased glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria in all cats. However, high protein/calorie intake resulted in significant renal morphologic injury in remnant kidney cats that was prevented by dietary protein/calorie restriction.” I realize cats aren’t people, (except for my two, LOL) but I would presume the basics are the same? You are saying that the protein source is the problem, not the protein itself? That would completely change my understanding of how protein effects the kidneys. Thank you for introducing me to this idea. More “food” for thought. Pun intended!
@@rubenperalesRD There is a study by the NIH, published October 22, 2021, that says, "low protein diets (LPD) have beneficial effects in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The vegetarian-supplemented, very-low-protein diets seem to have an additional positive effect on patient and kidney survival." There are cautions about malnutrition, but that properly supplemented, the diets are effective.
Most people are getting enough protein. The nutrient that most of us are not getting enough of is fiber. It is said that 95% of us don't get the minimal requirements for fiber. You only get fiber from plant foods.
@@daniellem1838 wasnt that exactly what i said..? 100g protein equals 3.5ounces protein, its called math. U know, an ounce is somewhere around 28g, at least as far as i know. I donno where s the meat in it..? I never mentioned any meat. Why would i? Nobody asked about meat. It was a question about grams n ounces, read urself. Well, i guess it must be complicated to figure out, huh? 😝 Btw i dont get it why people always seem to think protein is meat. Protein is not same as meat. Please educate urself of biological basics. Protein is found in all kinds of foods, believe it or not 🥴
It's not the protein that hurts the kidneys it's diabetes or high blood pressure most of the the time. Once the kidneys are damaged by these diseases then the protein restriction is needed as the patient progresses through the stages of chronic kidney disease.
If you have an Aldi near you, check out their grass fed ground beef for $3.99lb organic eggs and milk. Wild caught fresh salmon. Canned Alaskan wild salmon etc all very reasonably priced
thanks. I'm not speaking for myself. Sorry to say, Probably 70% of the listeners can't afford his "solution" unfortunately over the long term. He basically said no matter how positive, they will fail if not eating organic. And we learn this after 25 mins of content streaming.. hmm.

You don't have to be a bodybuilder to appreciate this information

Yeah I have heard that too Dr. Berg has some videos on the subject you might be interested in
@@roseg1333 just FYI Dr. Berg is a chiropractor
So sorry for your loss.

I was always told that you need half your weight in grams of protein. Who can afford grassfed, organic in this economy?
Aldi grassfed ground beef $3.99 lb
Yes I was just gonna say Aldi! My freezer stays stocked up on their grass fed ground beef.
You should invite RFK Jr. on your show. Believe he’s on same track as you on foods & big pharma.
That would be an awesome listen. RFK just did an interview with Tucker Carlson discussing some of these issues.
Dr Axe Can You Please Listed The Best proteins Powders Love You Show Been Watching A Long Time.Thankd

I take your collagen protein powder daily- does the 20g count apart from regular meals
Can you tell us how many ounces for our age? I am a 65 year old female with asthma and copd
Plus I have metastasize liver cancer so how do I help my body, I feel tired .
Doc what about if you are OMAD?
You can eat your daily protein amount in one meal. New studies found that we can use minimum 100 grams of protein in one sitting without wasting it. Possibly more but minimum 100 grams.
I understand that we should eat protein 1 gram for each lb of our IDEAL weight
At least that
I do carnivore(more like ketovore) and they say to eat the amount of protein for my IDEAL weight. That would be 160-170. I am at 180 but I have a hard time consuming 160-170 grams of protein. I usually have around 120. Some days more some days less. I will have a small amount of carbs most days.
When is say "they" I mean carnivore doctors.
Shoudn't the question be, are you getting enough amino acids?
Thank you

The research indicates that plant protein is favorable for people who have chronic kidney disease.

Excellent
It's so confusing because I heard lots of centenarians eat low protein
Which do you think is better: animal or plant protein?
Animal
@@evelynoquendo8124 agreed

Dr Axe, what is your take with some doctors that says taking too much protein may result to have protein on their urine
Protein in the urine is an indicator of damage to the kidneys usually by diabetes or high blood pressure not by eating too much protein.
@@rubenperalesRDHigh cortisol reduces my ability to digest protein and I end up with UTIs all the time
I asked about kidneys because I have had an issue with my kidneys after taking too much Advil
Thanks 👍🙏😀🍵🧘♂️
When you say 100 grams of protein how many ounces per meal for a 73 yr old
100grams equals 3.5ounces. in case u wanna divide that to three meals, i d plan it like 1ounce for breakfast, 1.5ounce in lunch, 1ounce for dinner 👍
@@daniellem1838 wasnt that exactly what i said..? 100g protein equals 3.5ounces protein, its called math. U know, an ounce is somewhere around 28g, at least as far as i know.

I got 100grams of protein for you 😏
WHAT IF YOU ARE 122 BLS
HOW JUST I EAT????🕊😇
50 grams if you don't wanna die!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t get enough protein personally
But that being said I feel tired after chemotherapy
Is it not true that a lot of protein doesn't hurt your kidney as long as your body is utilizing the protein??
It's not the protein that hurts the kidneys it's diabetes or high blood pressure most of the the time. Once the kidneys are damaged by these diseases then the protein restriction is needed as the patient progresses through the stages of chronic kidney disease.
Can extra protein harm my kidneys?
Silly me, I expected a home remedy or sorts.
You can raise your own chicken 😂
Please dr Axe say it in once’s and not grams
Eat organic. I saved you 25 mins. Thats his solution. 🎉
Thanks!
Can you speak in ounces rather than grams?
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
What how much women need and man need
I was with you for 23 mins until you say everyone should just eat organic meats, aye nae bother I'm sure everyone in the world can just do that then.
