Finally, someone that actually explains things. I found this video to be extremely helping not only in why proteins are beneficial, but how proteins work to naturally and positively with our bodies. Alyssa you are awesome! Thanks for taking the time to explain things in layman's terms.

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you found the channel.

[@lisac8735]

​@arthritisadventure what protein should I buy ? What is a good one Alyssa. Also how much do I need per meal. I'm so confused?

[@lisac8735]

Mine says 182 is that right. That's alot of protein. Is that per day

[@user-kr1ps1pf2t]

Thank’s Alyssa ,I’m trying everyday to have protein.being found you last 6 weeks ago,I really see changes in me.and my family notice that I look different.I told them all about you Doc You are amazing woman that helps us in need.God bless🙏✝️🥰💝

[@arthritisadventure]

I'm so glad!

[@polyannamoonbeam]

No oxalates in our meat and dairy proteins- great anti inflammatory food value:) Love your channel❤ Great info condensed into very user friendly format:) I've encorporated some of the hip exercises into my pool routine - they were very stiff for some weeks after a back strain injury (forgot to stop carrying my v heavy backpack!) I didn't want to take pain meds - very happy to say the results are a noticeable improvement. Thanks Alyssa!

[@FlipMacz]

True! Learning about oxalates and ditching them changed my arthritis life. Truly ground breaking.

[@johanverster5638]

I have been doing everything wrong when it comes to getting in enough protein and the role it plays in our bodies, thank you Alyssa, I am getting on the right tract here, you are awesome !

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome!

Hi! Your videos are very informative. I'm 59. I've a dog walker for 20 some years. I have osteopenia (downgraded from osteoporosis) and osteoarthritis in my fingers along with knee and hip issues. Also herniated my back last May. I'm a dog walker because of my multiple autoimmune diseases that I've had since I was a teen. I'm also 13 years past breast cancer. I average about 5 miles a day, every day, some days I hit 10 miles, especially during the holidays. Doctors and nutritionist weren't very helpful in how I should fuel myself for this. I should note that most dog walking is not aerobic, but it can be exhausting. Years ago, I switched to vegan/whole food plant based, but I have a really hard time eating and staying hydrated because I often don't feel hungry or thirsty, especially when I'm working. I try to keep nuts on hand tho. Recently I've been adding a protein shakes to my meals and trying to avoid protein bars. I've been looking in to vegan food services because when I'm hungry and must-lie-down tired, I make dumb food choices. And even when I'm not exhausted, I know I'm not getting 120 gm of protein. Today, I got @80 gm, with a protein shake. I'm wondering if I should be getting even more protein than the 120 gm due to my work? Two recommendations: 1) Getting legit supplements. Consumer Lab is an independent lab that tests food products to make sure they match their labels. www.consumerlab.com. Their reports are detailed--that's an understatement-- and their top picks are extremely helpful. 2) What convinced me to go vegan: Dr. Michael Greger's How Not to Die google talk kzbin.info/www/bejne/baOximqugN56ebM. His books are all backed by existing double-blind, peer reviewed research. And he is non-profit. This google talk is about the top 15 killers and how we fair against them with meat or plant based diets. You can guess what wins out, but the data is startling. His website is www.nutritionfacts.org

I have severe rheumatoid arthritis, as well as fibromyalgia doctor explained I severe pain with my health issues. Thank you so much I subscribe to your channel.

[@Waterhorse1]

Thanks Alyssa That was terrific. Would love to see a video on what to eat to get the right amount of protein (especially for vegetarians) cheers

[@jeanineshores1079]

Thank you. I sure wish my Dr. would have told me this 4 years ago when I started loosing my muscles ad lost about 49 pounds . i will definitely start eating more and add more proteins to my diet . Then maybe I will feel like moving around more .

[@FlipMacz]

It is my opinion that the medical community only cares about one thing .... one's WALLET.

[@halainnadozier5302]

I had to incorporate premier protein and quest protein items into my diet because I was not eating any where near what I needed 2 protein drink and protein snacks over junk food put me way closer

My word, I did the math and I need 156 grams of protein a day! How do I even do that?? I am on a mission to have less pain so I will figure it out. I am 83 and don't eat nearly enough protein! Can anyone relate to my situation?

[@lynneberry6495]

Wow... I thought I was getting enough but just realised 100g chicken breast is NOT 100g of protein😮🤦 I need to up my intake... Might help with my body pain, tiredness and saggy skin! Thank You🙏💖

[@louellaj.holguin2676]

Thanks Doc. You’re the best

[@arthritisadventure]

You're so welcome!

[@lidiyajohnson7460]

Brilliant !

[@Nani-eo1fg]

Thanks doc.❤

[@arthritisadventure]

Most welcome!

[@Nemo-yn1sp]

Wow! My doc told me to up my protein to 55-60, so I added a pea-protein smoothie in the mornings with about 25 g in it. To get to the 91 your formula recommends, I'll have to add another smoothie, perhaps sardines daily, instead of every few days. I would like to move away from beef and pork and I don't eat dairy. Beans have been a daily staple, but I'm recently reading/learning that beans are bad for osteoporosis, though proper cooking can reduce the antinutrients. I'm just shy of 67 with a T score of -3 (and lower, but I've blocked that). My PT has me doing a variety of exercises, but no high impact - I'll be checking with her next visit to see if it's ok to start incorporating some of your moves (in other videos). Thank you!

[@TheFirstRealChewy]

I have been having a lot of joint pain, muscle weakness, bones feeling weak, and a bunch of other issues for years. I've done x-rays to rule out any structural issues. Stretching wasn't as effective. I also feel mentally exhausted and feel like I have brain fog. Like its hard to think through things like I use to. While looking into it I realized my symptoms were matching up to protein deficiency. When I did the math which was anywhere from 0.36-1.0 grams of protein per lb of body weight per day, I realized I wasn't getting enough protein. On a good day I might get as much as 90 grams and I'm over 220lbs. Last week I started supplementing with Whey. Why is it so expensive? Anyway, I started doing two scoops a day, one in the morning and evening. I feel like things are slowly improving. The joint pains are subsiding.I have a bit more strength for basic activities. My mood is slightly improving as it's a bit easier to get through the day. It's still too early to tell, since the changes are minor. I'll know more in a few months to half a year from now. However, it feels like things are going in the right direction.

[@PureDrivePhysio]

Protein is always a staple in my meals and that's what I preach for my clients as well!

[@arthritisadventure]

yes! absolutely!

[@Sammybambamyoji]

Can you recommend some healthy protein foods for an osteoporosis person. Thanks in advance ☺️

[@sharonmitchel1377]

I thought I was eating enough protein, but maybe not. I’ve never had cellulite looking skin till this year. I do aerobics, lift light weight and do some yoga, so I likely work out from 30 to 90 minutes 5 days a week. Thanks for your insight.

[@valerieterblanche4636]

Absolutely Fantastic! My hip has been giving me a problem! I don’t take meds and I will be 72 in May! Thanks for letting me know what is going on with me! I will eat more protein because I’m a vegetarian and I should eat more protein but I don’t ❤

[@arthritisadventure]

You got this!

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Thank you for this. I have not prioritized protein and now have hip osteopenia and spine osteoporosis. : ( I will try harder!

Can you do a video of what a typical day of eating is for you? You look great and ive seen videos of your gym workout for legs which is could never do. I have a spondy and other issues.

[@arthritisadventure]

I am compiling some videos on those topics. Make sure to follow me on instagram as I post some different meals and workouts I do.

[@susanclingenpeel3338]

I love this information, though I would appreciate slowing down how quickly you speak. It was difficult to keep up with some of the information; I will just work on stopping the video and repeating what I missed. A while back you used a board and wrote things down; that seemed to help also. Thanks, Alyssa, for all that you do to help me !

[@lawcat65]

I've been weight training for about a year but haven't really seen much change, although it's helped with arthritis. I recently started tracking protein, and based on info in this video, I've only been eating 30% to 50% of what I should be eating. I am struggling with getting more protein in my diet and am trying to get some with every meal. I don't eat dairy, and don't eat much meat. I suppose I'll try more fish. I've always read that Americans eat more protein than they need.

[@cathrynory8854]

I was going to say the same thing. I've been working with a personal trainer for more than a year with very little progress 🤨. I am trying to eat more protein but it's hard. I get full quickly.

[@susanharris3224]

I'm having a really difficult time getting more than 1/2 my protein requirements and balancing it with cholesterol mindfulness and need to loose weight!!! I'm thinking lean protein or collagen powder at this point. Hope this kind of dilemma is covered down the line. Love your videos!

Alyssa, I have such a hard time getting adequate protein! I'm drinking a protein shake everyday and I have some tuna or eggs, but most proteins make me want to vomit. I can eat some chicken, fish and turkey. I'm allergic to dairy as well, I use plant-based milks. My muscles are shrinking. Can you suggest anything to help me?

Hi from India

[@arthritisadventure]

Hello there!

[@wjk9241]

Is it okay to add protein to get your protein up to the right level using a powder (like collagen or whey) or is it better to eat more food sources of protein......like beans or something?

[@arthritisadventure]

Both can be helpful depending on your personal preferences!

[@PatNewman1000]

Does drinking a protein recovery drink after strength training work better or before such as at usual meal times? This was all very helpful!

[@Sammybambamyoji]

Have your protein shake after or during working out. I prefer right after.

[@dianejaynes3982]

[@WednesdaysWastWendigo]

I don't mean to have annoying question would you recommend high-protein diet if I have inflammatory arthritis

[@arthritisadventure]

protein can be very helpful

[@marjn1030]

I think it's better to say in range of your protein level to not over do it. The key is staying in homeostasis. A you can also have your doctor check your protein level.

[@annieobrien9783]

I have stomach problems and can't do protein drinks and milk bothers me so I am in a lot of pain because I don't know how to get protein. It is hard for me to digest meat also. I weigh 95 and manage to get 30 g of protein but don't know how to get more.

Maybe try almond milk.

What is your opinion of proteins supplements such as way. SWHEY. I have been taking way WHEY powder for many months and haven’t seen any changes. In fact, I’m beginning to believe that WHEY pro Tien is counterproductive. I am 70 years old.

[@emmanuellestaub5251]

Whey is from milk, I guess it's inflammatory, try use pumpkin seed protein powder, put some almond nuts past, chia, hemp, flax seed in smoothy, drink spirulina high is protein n your eggs veg

[@AAB463]

Supplemental Protein is certainly controversial! There are so many videos explaining that we get enough protein just from eating a decent diet & that we do not need supplemental protein. Makes me think it depends on your dna, health conditions, diet, age, gender, ethnicity, etc
