Are Protein Powders Healthy?

The Biblical Anatomy podcast delves into the topic of protein synthesis from a nutritional standpoint. While not a registered dietitian, servant-host Daniel Miller, well-versed in exercise science, shares insights on nutrition’s significance in sports and health. He cautions against misinformation regarding protein consumption, particularly emphasizing the complexities surrounding protein powders and suggesting further exploration of supplements and their regulation.

To that end, the servant-host stresses the importance of education in decision-making and aims to share his expertise. He explains muscle protein synthesis, from an exercise science perspective, and provides general protein intake recommendations, advising 1.3 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, with additional guidance for weightlifters and bodybuilders. He underscores the need to rely on trusted sources and encourages personal research, offering help in understanding scientific literature through training and coursework.

As the episode progresses, the role of supplements, particularly protein powders, are cautioned. The servant-host shares personal experiences with supplements and concludes by highlighting the importance of treating the body with care, referencing 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
