309. Q&A: 5 Things I Look For in a Protein Powder (for Fat Loss & Muscle Gain)

Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

In this solo Q&A episode, I'm answering a question from listener Cortney: How do you choose the right protein powder with so many options out there?

I'll walk you through the top four things I look for as a dietitian, plus one red flag most women overlook. You'll also hear which brand I personally use and why, alongside some third-party organizations that offer testing and certification programs for dietary supplements like protein powders to help assure the products you purchase contain the ingredients listed on the label, are free from harmful levels of contaminants, and are manufactured according to good practices.

By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to choose a protein powder that supports your fat loss and muscle goals, without overwhelm or confusion.
