A functional medicine and biohacking coach, Tanya, addressed common myths surrounding protein consumption. She debunked the notion that high protein intake harms healthy kidneys, citing outdated studies on individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions. Tanya emphasized protein's essential role in every bodily cell, not just muscles, and recommended a daily intake of 1.8 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of ideal body weight. She also noted that vegetarians may need supplementation for optimal protein intake and that high protein diets help women appear lean and strong, rather than bulky.
