It's not just about the amount of protein, but what your body does with it, which is determined by exercise.

I have RA. Every time (spanning years) I tried to increase my protein intake, my inflammation would go through the roof. Didn't matter if it was animal or plant. I've since decided to stick to the levels that make me feel my best.

Awesome Dr Brad, I find these studies fascinating especially as a 62 y.o. with plenty of muscle mass from lifelong resistance training but whose whole family tree died of cancer, no heart disease or frailty, so thought provoking!
