Most People Get This Wrong About Protein — Simplify Your Nutrition

Season 1 Episode 96 Published 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Nutrition advice is everywhere — and most of it overcomplicates what should be simple.
 In this replay, EC Synkowski, founder of Optimize Me Nutrition and creator of the 800-Gram Challenge, shares a refreshingly practical approach to fueling performance, recovery, and longevity.

She’s coached CrossFit athletes, corporate teams, and everyday movers — and she’s one of the most grounded, science-based voices in nutrition today.

🧠 What You’ll Learn

  • The 800-Gram Challenge: a data-driven, no-BS way to eat more fruits and vegetables
  • How much protein we really need (and why “more” isn’t always better)
  • Why consistency beats restriction for long-term health
  • How to eat well when you’re on the road, in the mountains, or living out of a van
  • What truly matters more than supplements for living long and strong
