I'm dishing on what I've done and tried in 2025 that's made a difference in my overall health & well-being for my mind, body, and spirit. And some things that I've tried that I won't be repeating.
A million percent yes. I had no idea how badly I was undereating protein (and overeating fat) until I started tracking it a few years ago per my trainer's suggestion. I don't think most people have a clear, quantifiable idea of what they're eating (or not) because unless you track, you just don't know. And some people need to also weigh food for a bit to know what 50 grams or 100 grams of whatever it is actually looks like too. Protein definitely is the magic piece in so much, as you said that an unlock a cascade of other benefits.
