Shocking Truth About Protein & Why You Need To Eat More For Longevity | Dr. Mark Hyman 

Thankyou so so much ! Because of your education I have lost the weight I trued to lose over a span of 50 years! I threw out every salad dressing with vegetable oils in them, I don’t use mayonnaise unless it’s made with avocado oil, and I have always eaten low carbs, but it wasn’t enough. I had to get rid of powdered creamer in my coffee every morning for 50 years I never knew it was the start of a terrible day. Now I make my own nut milk and my body maintains a lean weight and I do fast every day till around noon. Because of that, I have held my god that was a leaky gut for 50 years. And because of you, I found a functional doctor in Las Vegas, Dr. Bowman, who follows your protocol, and I am so excited about the future, as I was also diagnosed with auto immune disease and Dr. Bowman assured me we could fix it without a life long conception of steroids! You truly are my hero, sir!

About 15 yrs ago, I started my routine of whey protein shake 1st thing in a.m. vs many years previous of coffee 1st. Needless to say, it was a game changer ! especially for my energy levels staying more regulated throughout the day ! Now I am water>protein>coffee.

Having a protein shake for breakfast, will boost your insulin response faster. It's MUCH better to have solid protein food because that will be much better for your insulin as well as gut biome.

Thank You.. we need good information re-presented to us on a regular basis.God Bless you

I am aware that non-gmo tofu, tempeh, edamame, soya milk/yogurt, hempseeds, almonds, chia, flax, tahini, pumpkin seeds, and Quorn as well as unsweetened protein powders such as pea protein isolate all provide 20g-30g protein per serving with under 200kcal. Also spirulina and chlorella and raw cacao, nutritional yeast are also high in protein. Obviously lentils and beans are high in protein but also relativy high in carbs/fibre as well as vitamins and minerals.

Dr. Hyman, I turn at least 3-5 people a week onto you and your podcast and text and email links all the time. I realized from watching you that what the processed food industry, Big Pharma, industrialized farming and Gov't policy has done to the health of people in the U.S.; the commercial pet food industry is doing to our pets. I am starting on putting together a course for pet owners, that includes first aid and CPR. for animals and humans. But I want to start the first hour or two with your podcasts. The reason? Because eating "real food" is as important or more so for our pets as it is for us. By the way- the tentative name for the course is " What you don't know can kill your pet .... and you" I wish I could get a.course in all the schools using your podcasts. What I really appreciate is that I KNOW that whatever you say you can back up with science, studies and data. You don't have any agenda other than knowing the truth and sharing it. That is obvious in your enthusiasm for what you're sharing- THANKYOU!

Timely video. I was watching the documentary on Netflix You are what you eat. This info needs to go along with it.

Always great information on your shows. Thanks very much for this

Make sure that meat you buy is not only grass-fed, but also grass-finished. Many will advertise grass-fed, but they are finished on grains to fatten them up.

you are a great teacher

Thanks Dr Mark first this great up to date advice on protein. It has cleared a lot of misunderstanding for me 👌🙌🙌

Thank you Dr!🙏🙏🙏

I am going to try to incorporate this in my diet. It makes sense.

Thank you for this reminder: As a vegetarian, I always seek ways to increase my protein intake and started consuming sprouted Horse Gram, a powerful legume which is packed with protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients 🙂.

Dr. Hyman Happy New Year! Will never forget watching your milk videos and how you helped me improve my health. 🙏 thank you 🙏

Great information Dr Hyman!

All these *specialized meats* are very expensive especially now. Those of us on a fixed income probably can't afford to eat these...

Hi Doc thanks for opening my eyes about belly fat. 🙏🏻

*Thank you!*

Thanks. . Very informative video!😂❤

Thank you Mark, youre about the ONLY doctor that's explained Protein's and sugar. I'm an Irish woman living in London with MS for many years, I can't walk unaided by myself anymore. Please please do a podcast on MS , the burning pain inside my body that I experience every day cannot be felt by anyone not having ms. Ive got to the point of wishing Im dead after each meal. Please please help if you can. Thank you.

Great information Dr., thank you!💓 That smoothie sounds delicious.😋 I'll have to modify it since it's so high in oxalates.😅

All the more reason to pray over all of our food before eating. Not everyone all of the time can always consume organic/grass fed constantly based on personal circumstances that is beyond one’s control.

Hi loving your video thank you for everything ❤ 😅 xx

No matter how we come to it 150g/day of protein is a lot! And a 225 lb person needs 225 g/day. This is when it gets a bit hard to eat it all and the right proportion of fat and not gain weight.

As older you get....protein seems to be even more important.

Excellent vid❤️🇨🇦

Can you use flax seed meal in the smoothie instead?

You mentioned goat whey protein for vegetarians. What is a good brand, and where do we get it? Thank you.

Would homemade bone broth play any part within taking in needed protein?

Dr. Hayman, what do you think about almond milk? I’ve been looking for some video of you talking about this. I’m lactose intolerant. Thank you for all your information!!! I changed my diet 3 months ago and I feel very good. I’m writting you from Mexico City.

Is there an comparable alternative to the H Pharmacy Grass Fed Protein to make the smoothie recipe that is less expensive? Thank you

I eat mostly hamburger, sardines and eggs. I drink only water. No processed food, no sugar, no plants. At 56 I feel great.

True it is difficult to be a lacto- ova diet to receive proper protein

Any thoughts on colostrum?

So confused meat no meat? Thank you for this information doc!!!

Guys, I bought the book Eat Fat, Get Thin, which is probably not very updated. Which book or video you recommend so can start to follow Mark Hyman’s guidelines? Or is Eat Fat, Get Thin still valid today? Thanks for your help.

didn't glucose goddess have an episode with you where you both discussed the benefits of eating leafy greens first in the meal even before protein?

Wait wait wait. Are you saying that pop tarts aren't part of a balanced breakfast? 🤔🤯 😂 On a serious note, I was worried my 8 egg omelets were over the top.

hyman's protein recommendation is opposite what Dr. Michal Greger recommends in this book(s) How not to die and How not to age. Excess protein is just deaminated, converted to glucose where it is moed to the liver to be stored as fat. Ergo any protein we eat over our required amount of about 70grams is "expensive sugar".

How much fish a week since there may be mercury and also red meat how often?

What do I do if I can't afford grass fed beef and all the organic choices?

I have been eating large amounts of meat for over 50 years. I started lifting weights in the early 70's and read that I would need more protein.

What ever happened to Potato Starch to feed good gut bacteria?

I understand the feed lot meat not being optimum, however, I am not in a place to purchase the grass fed grass finished or organic meat...what I'm doing at present is I'm following a high protein keto/vore type diet with conventional protein which I know has to be better than how I previously ate...standard american...and I'm down 50 lbs.and kept it off for 4 years... and I'm leaving the rest to God....all I can do

How do you apply .8G per kilo into real life? Is that a 6 Oz steak 3 times a day? 1 can of tuna and a serving of whey protein? Thank you

Most people can’t afford the meat products you recommend.

Love it, hooray Dr. Hyman!

What is regenerative raised mean?

Man it's impossible for me to get grass fed meat/dairy. Sadly, have to depend on the industrial protein sources.

3 different source daily smoked oysters ,chicken and collogen

"30-40 grams per meal" = So 1.2 ounces of protein per meal? Geez, that doesn't seem like anything especially when you said that we need so much more of it and how important it is...did I figure wrong?

Would love a video on bug protein. If bugs are good for you or not. What are the potential dangers from consuming insects.

I am still a bit sick, but last Tuesday, I only had 1/2 a load, got back from delivers about lunch time, when home & got into bed, & except for water and restroom, didn't get up till Thursday, late morning. I no longer had the full body ache of the flu, but I still had - & have - the coif & congestion of cold... I should have a day off Wednesday, to see a doc, over a week then... What may this be? Now, watching this vid, I am looking forward to - my wife just bought two more cases of sardines, & I can Invision a can with a couple eggs in a pan of bacon oil... freezing in Sacramento, CA now, so I may have some green onions in the garden, but not much else... I hope you feel that would be an okay breakfast. With all my heart meds & vitamins... Lunch is usually a banana & a sandwich... salami, ham, turkey or all 3... dinner is usually lighter... soup plus somethings small.

Here are the key takeaways from Dr. Mark Hyman's discussion on the importance of protein for longevity: 1. **Critical Role of Protein**: Protein is the only macronutrient required in large quantities by the body. It's essential for building and maintaining muscle mass, bone structure, and the immune system. 2. **Misconceptions About Dietary Needs**: There is no biological requirement for carbohydrates, and only a minimal need for essential fatty acids from fats. The real need is for a higher intake of quality protein. 3. **Inadequate Dietary Guidelines**: Current dietary guidelines for protein intake are minimalistic and aimed at preventing deficiency diseases rather than promoting optimal health. The actual requirement is likely much higher, especially as we age. 4. **Quality of Protein Matters**: Not all proteins are equal. Grass-fed, regenerative meats, and wild-caught or regeneratively farmed fish are superior sources of protein. Industrial meat, often laden with hormones and antibiotics, is less desirable. 5. **Challenges for Vegetarians and Vegans**: Obtaining adequate protein and essential amino acids, especially leucine, is more challenging with a plant-based diet. It requires careful planning and possibly supplementation. 6. **Protein's Role in Metabolism and Appetite**: Protein helps regulate appetite and metabolism by decreasing the hunger hormone ghrelin and increasing peptide YY. It also has a high thermogenic effect, aiding in weight management. 7. **Increasing Protein Intake**: Aim for 30-40 grams of protein per meal, considering the size of the palm as a guide for portion sizes. Include quality protein sources in your diet, and consider the timing of protein consumption to maximize its benefits. 8. **Recipe for Success**: Incorporating protein-rich meals, like the provided chocolate raspberry smoothie bowl recipe, can help increase protein intake while offering a balanced combination of healthy fats, fiber, and phytochemicals. 9. **Longevity and Muscle Maintenance**: Adequate protein intake is crucial for preventing muscle loss, a significant driver of age-related diseases. As we age, our protein needs increase, making it even more essential to focus on protein consumption. 10. **Critical Thinking About Protein Sources**: It's important to move beyond ideological views on protein sources and focus on scientific evidence, considering the health and environmental impacts of different types of protein. Dr. Mark Hyman shared a recipe for a Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie Bowl. Here are the details: **Smoothie Base Ingredients:** - 1 scoop of H Pharmacy super simple grass-fed chocolate protein - 3/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or Macadamia milk) - 1 cup of baby spinach, loosely packed - 2/3 cup of cauliflower rice (for creaminess) - 1 tablespoon of flax seeds (source of omega-3 fats, lignans, and fiber) - 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (for flavor and blood sugar regulation) **Toppings:** - 1.5 teaspoons of cacao nibs - 1 teaspoon of hemp seeds - 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds - A handful of raspberries (or any berries/fruits of your choice) **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare the Smoothie Base**: Place all the smoothie base ingredients into a blender. Puree until the mixture is smooth. 2. **Create the Bowl**: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. 3. **Add Toppings**: Sprinkle the cacao nibs, hemp seeds, sliced almonds, and raspberries over the top of the smoothie mixture. 4. **Enjoy**: Your Chocolate Raspberry Smoothie Bowl is ready to eat. Enjoy it with a spoon!

Wait a minute Doctor Hyman.....150 grams of MEAT is only 5 ounces, which is nothing! Did you mean to say 150 grams of PROTEIN?

Trolls are out heavy!!

Ceylon cinnamon only!

I wish I could force myself to eat sardines😕

❤💯

64!? 👌👏

Eat more beans.

What if u vegetarian, & can't eat enough , lt wt vegetarian , how ?

Can't stand smoothies...need savoury bfasts.

Terrible breakfast recipe! No offence please :) I prefer 6 eggs forever! lol bacon and eggs even better!

150 lbs. How do you get enough protein in 1 meal a day?

I am seeing a lady that loves you at my function. Medicine doctor place and make us. We go one peak medical. I have a lot that's going on with me. But I am trying to get my health. I am working really hard on it. I can't have a lot of sodium in the smoothie makings. I wish they'd make a smoothie, making that doesn't have that much sodium. Really low amounts. I have frozen shoulder and a lot of other things going on. I am trying the best. I can to get my health I live in Portland Oregon. Have an auto muinto disease that's unexplainable. I actually live in hillsborough oregon go to lake oswego I have assist on my breast. That she would like me to have dreamed set. I'm scared with frozen shoulder. They don't know anything about frozen shoulder. I got it from the booster shot and my whole body shut down last year. I'm better this year but still have a lot of things going on. I had divorced, but my third word was better. This summer last summer twenty twenty three.

Muscle loss? Is it confirmed that having "big" muscles is good for you? I don't think so.

I eat protein more than anything

For most people it's more realistic to eat plant based protein than the type of meat you advocate ( especially there in USA?)

Lupin is high in protein

If you think Apeal is okay then I don't want your opinion. You possibly have been given money from the anti-health guys.

Your protein shake sounds delicious but also kidney stone inducing!

You need to get the right information out Dr Ken Berry has the correct information

His smoothies are terrible ingredients.

Mark, take a hike, PLEASE! And stay off PBS!

Nothing more disgusting than chocolate with fruit. Don't know how you stand it.

Dr Hyman. Most of your health wisdom is right on the 'Mark', pun intended. However, your advice on the amount of protein required by the human body is surprisingly off the mark. I'm guessing you've seen the well established literature on the average daily protein requirement for the human body. And it's nowhere near what you mention in this video. The human body, for normal functioning, requires less than 50 grams of protein daily. 35 grams is adequate for most people who aren't performing extensive fitness training. There are dialysis clinics popping up like dandelions in this country, mainly for 1 reason- too much daily protein ruins the kidneys. And it's incorrect advice like yours in this video which is partly to blame. It's almost as if you're in the pocket of the food industry, putting out false info like this. What gives ?

First he promoted the “jab” now he took money from Apeel Sciences and promotes Apeel. Brrr , father of functional medicine- no thanks!

I am sick and tired of all these con artists whos only purpose is to attract people by telling ''shocking true'' and make money

Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based. Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. Go vegan and be healthier and happier. A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals. Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style.
