Have you ever wondered if protein is good for your skin? For the record… it is, especially if you plan on rebuilding healthy skin.

And one thing that I’ve found working with clients is that many people aren’t eating enough protein.

In fact, most people are quite surprised to discover just how low (suboptimal) their protein intake is!

This macronutrient is critical not just for building healthy new tissue, but for many other things in your body.

In this episode, I’m going to share with you why protein intake is so important and answer all of the questions you have about it!

In this episode:

Why protein is good (and necessary) to stop skin rashes
Animal vs Plant protein – which is better?
Why you can’t just use collagen
How to figure out how much protein you eat now
Recommended protein intake for chronic skin rashes
Suggestions of healthy protein sources

Quotes:

You may have heard that you should cut back for the sake of your health (and that of the planet). But when your skin is compromised, it then becomes critical to get enough macronutrients like protein as well as micronutrients to refill the proverbial well.

Not getting enough protein is one of the biggest problems I see in my clinical practice when someone is hoping to rebuild healthy skin. They try their best based on all the information they find online, but the recommendations made for healthy people may not work for them. They are often surprised to discover that a higher protein intake improves symptoms overall as long as we ensure that it’s digested and absorbed.
