  • Summary

  • In this episode, Carrie Hurley interviews Integrative Nutritional Coach, Melinda Haak. The question of the day? If you could only change ONE thing nutritionally to make a difference, what would you change? The focus was on the importance of increasing daily protein intake to 100-150 grams, emphasizing that government guidelines are insufficient for overall health. Key recommendations included integrating protein-rich foods such as yogurt, chia seeds, and bone broth, and the benefits of combining protein with whole food carbohydrates for enhanced absorption. The discussion also highlighted the vital role of minerals in hormone production and stress management, recommending supplementation with ionic mineral blends in liquid form to ensure adequate intake, especially given modern dietary challenges. Additionally, participants were advised to incorporate a protein-based breakfast within an hour of waking to help regulate blood sugar. Overall, the session provided actionable steps for improving nutrition and health through targeted dietary adjustments.
