The Protein Obsession: What We’re Missing About Nutrition

Jun 13, 2025

We’ve been told that protein is the ultimate health hack — that we need to hit a specific number of grams each day or risk losing muscle, energy, or progress. But what if this hyper-focus on protein is actually pulling us away from real nourishment?

In this episode, Dr. Connie breaks down the science behind protein needs — separating fact from fitness-industry fiction. You’ll learn:

What the RDA actually means (and why it’s often misunderstood)
How much protein is enough — and when it’s too much
The impact of protein obsession on gut health, mindset, and true well-being
Why intuitive, whole-food-based eating is a more sustainable and empowering approach

If you’re tired of tracking macros, overthinking meals, or feeling anxious about getting “enough,” this episode will help you reclaim clarity and reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom.

"Dr. Connie’s passion and uncanny ability to see and feel the energy within each person are undeniable. She held up a mirror to parts of me I’d never seen — then tailored the training to guide me in a deeply personal and transformative way."

- Christine Y.

" The mentoring and practical application I gained from this program were priceless. As a nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the limitations of the medical system, and this experience opened my eyes to new possibilities for truly helping my patients."

- Christina S

" As a nurse practitioner on the edge of burnout, this program allowed me to explore a holistic approach to health and healing. I realized that conventional medicine often stops at managing symptoms, rarely seeing the whole person. The divide between the two disciplines became undeniable: one had evolved, the other stayed behind."

- Hanbi H

" As a multipassionate healing practitioner, I've been longing for a truly integrative program that can tie all my education and certifications including trauma informed somatic therapy, mental counseling, Yoga/pilates practitioner, and a massage therapist. I knew there was a better way, but FYMCP tied all aspects seamlessly to finally feel like I have a process for implementing my knowledge through the E.A., S.E. Method. Dr. Connie's relentless pursuit of learning and evolution inspires me, but she also lives the solution. I am so thankful for this program, which finally allows me to help my clients most profoundly. I recommend it to anyone seeking a revolutionary approach that is simple, easy, and empowering."

- Jessica G.
