Adequate protein intake is vital for everyone’s diet, both kids and adults. For children and teens, protein supports growth and development, energy and focus and overall well-being. For adults, protein can reduce hunger levels, boost metabolism, and help your body repair after injury.  To further discuss the benefits of protein in our diets, we’re joined today on the Life Changing Weekend by Registered Dietitian Amy Goodson. 

Also, new study is highlighting the potential financial savings resulting from weight loss demonstrating that even small reductions in weight can lead to long-term cost savings, including lower healthcare expenses, reduced absenteeism, and better overall quality of life.  Study author Dr. Kenneth Thorpe, Ph.D, Chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD), joins us to discuss this study further!
