Today I want to talk about the importance of protein and how it can benefit your physical performance and overall health. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, trying to lose weight, or a regular athlete, protein benefits everyone. Protein is the building block of our cells and muscles. It improves your metabolism, fat-burning potential, and supports your body’s tissues and cells. The average person needs about half their body weight in protein. If you weigh 150 pounds, then you need about 75 grams of protein a day. The best forms of protein you should be consuming are grass-fed beef, organic chicken and turkey, wild-caught salmon, grass-fed organic dairy products, quality protein powders, plant-based sources of protein, flax and chia seeds, and other nuts and seeds and beans.
The biggest benefits of consuming protein include fat-burning, improving muscle recovery, healing cuts and wounds, essential for fighting diabetes and blood sugar, essential for brain function, essential for cholesterol, and high energy levels. When buying protein, making sure it’s from grass-fed, organic, natural sources.

Always thought these people sipping protein all the time were nuts.....until I saw how much you need a day and when. I started working out and weight lifting. Protein is a must!!!
Thank you and I am doing your Keto Diet and started this Monday.
clear and precise explanation about the significance of protein !
Thanks Dr Axe for the health tips on protein.👍
Wow now I learned about high quality proteins!!
Wow I didn’t know we need half our body weight In protein. Maybe that’s why I’m having health issues. Crazy thing about it is I work at shell gas station and we sell protein bars. I bought 2 bars today out of pure randomness. One with 30gm protein and the other with 20gm. I ate them both when I got home right after my meal and I swear, like 20mins later I noticed improvements with my skin. Like the elasticity, specially in my lips. They felt more comfortable and stretchier and softer. I think I’m going to order some bars and eat one every night. Maybe one twice a day. I’m like 320lbs, so I would need about 160gm a day. I barely top 80gm today and it was my first time eating those protein bars after a meal. I may be deficient in protein tremendously. Thanks for the vid Dr.
Why don't you try Nutrilite All Plant Protein Powder ??
It has PDCAAS score of 1 you know
My body can’t handle protein bars anymore they constipate me
@@916bigAl you need to drink water so you won’t be constipated lol drink it in between meals.
@@916bigAl you need more fibre in your diet
@@StrallyMan fiber is overrated there’s this book called fiber menace you should check it out.
Thanks Dr. Axe. I'm finding it hard to get half my body weight in protein in a day, but I am doing better. It will get easier as I continue to lose weight on your detox plan. Take care, Ivana
IjH67 Great!
You should use your goal weight as your guide . If you have high body fat you shouldn't count all your body weight
Great info! thanks......
Spot on

hi I was wondering what the best Protein Bars are the best? I've recently been buying the brand THINK THIN? is this healthy? I love chocolate and usually get hungry after a workout, so why not eat a protein bar right?! lol could you give me a list of Healthy-Good tasting bars that you can buy at like walmart or a grocery store?!
Hi, do you know a MLM promoting Organic Protein Powder?
Brotein
Does your body take ammino acids from the body making up the skin and pretty much everything when you eat foods the void of Enzymes such as Onion soup and I understand that bacteria in the gut produce digestive Enzymes so I ask the question if one has dysbiosis can this cause sever systemic issues across the whole system of the body
Today I couldn't explain properly to a lady that it was saying, we don't need to count or keep an eye to the protein intake even if we are vegetarian as there isn't exist protein deficienc, how can I explain properly that she isn't right? Thanks
U are amazing
What is Protein?
Protein is the most abundant bodybuilding nutrient and an essential component of muscle building, bone health and immunity. It is needed to fuel muscles with energy during exercise and helps build strong bones by providing calcium.
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are a type of organic compound that can be broken down into smaller units called amino acids. Some of these amino acids are essential for survival, while others are used as part of normal bodily functions. In adults, there is generally around 6 grams of protein in every 100 milliliters (or 50 grams for men, and 4 grams for women per 100 milliliters). However, this number can vary greatly depending on the person's age and activity level.
How much protein should you eat?
It’s important to note that eating enough protein is often not an exact science. The amount of protein a person needs depends on several factors, including age, gender, activity level, weight, nutritional requirements and other factors. To ensure that their diet is balanced, it's essential to work with a healthcare provider to develop a customized, individualized and healthy diet. That said, adult males need between 1.2-2 grams of protein per kilogram (1g for a woman) and 2-3 grams per kilogram (1g for a man) per day. This is roughly equivalent to the recommended amounts found in many protein powders or bars.
Eating plenty of protein helps maintain muscle mass and helps provide the necessary energy to perform physical activities. It also helps improve overall health, including a lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, as well as supporting brain function and immune system functioning. If a person consumes too much protein, it could lead to negative effects on their health, such as gastrointestinal upset, digestive issues, osteoporosis and increased mortality.
How much protein do people need?
While many studies have been conducted to determine how much protein is safe to consume and what types of proteins are best for individuals, there are no universally accurate conclusions to this question. While some research suggests that 1 gram of protein per kilogram (1g for a woman and 1.75g for a man) provides adequate nutrition, more recent research shows that consuming 2 grams per kilogram (2g for a woman and 3.5g for a man) per day may be better for maintaining physical fitness and resistance training. Other studies suggest that the average male has about 12g of protein per kilogram (11g for a woman), while the average female has about 18g of protein per kilogram (17g for a woman).
There are also conflicting results regarding the optimal dietary intake of protein. According to one study, high levels of protein diets (with 1g/kg of protein for both sexes) were associated with higher levels of bone density and strength than low levels of protein diets (with 0.5g of protein for each kg of body weight). Another study showed that those who ate the highest levels of protein (0.75g/kg for females and 0.45g/kg for males) had the lowest rates of osteoporosis.
In contrast, another study suggests that consuming a high-protein diet may negatively impact athletes' performance and increase injury risks. A third study found that increasing protein ingestion from 15g/kg to 30g/kg of body weight did not significantly improve endurance performance and training sessions. However, consuming a protein supplement containing high protein contents (such as whey protein) was associated with improved exercise performance and muscle hypertrophy.
Finally, other studies suggest that consuming less protein may be beneficial for athletes. Although the American College of Sports Medicine has found mixed evidence to support the conclusion that consuming protein may impair exercise performance, they recommend consuming at least 0.75g/kg of protein per hour for male runners and 0.55g/kg for female runners for all races except ultramarathons.
Overall, it’s critical to understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of consuming protein and balance the protein intake in the diet with a focus on the types of protein consumed. By following these tips and adhering to an appropriate portion size, we can optimize our health and wellness.
This man just got off work and jumped into the green shirt like he's an assembly line
nice sir

Somebody knows Dr. Axe's blood type?
dr is protein is harmful or good for jaundice infected people
Dr. Josh Axe - Does eating animal protein (steak, chicken, etc.) cause inflammation of the blood vessels?
eating sugary foods and carbohydrates thats the cause of inflamation.
@@jinkzkie Yes, sugar, seed oils, and carbs cause inflammation. It's been over 6 years since I asked that question. I've learned a lot over that time, eventually turned carnivore, and lost 73 lbs. and I am keeping it off no problem.
Why do u need protien? When it get broken down into acid?. Should we eat things tht has simply amino acid to build our own proteins from these amino acid?
This guy is a doctor of what exactly?
Nice
How much protein should I take I wait on hundred and 115 an I'm 5 7 I hight
What if you have had 95% of the symptoms for years, despite consuming large quantities of meat, seeds, beans, & nuts several times a day?
Try broth instead
too much protein makes me fart, so i'm aiming for 500 grams a day
dr. whet farts smh😅
WTF that's still too much
dr. I have 55kg of weight how much amount of protein I should to take a day ?
I think it'd be like 55g mate if you're building muscle :)
Eat at least 1.8 gr of your bodyweight - best is 2 gr. But dont believe in me, do your research please.
1gr per KG is ridiculous low! Againm please do your research about the needs of protein and the benefits of getting a good amount of it.
at least 100 grams
Protein is helps to jump higher sir. Please reply me sir.
I'm struggling to get enough protein in my daughter's diet who is a vegetarian. Is there a certain amount your body can use at once? I thought I read somewhere that your body can only utilize 9 grams at a time.
as a mom myself, with a vegan daughter, i totally understand ur worries :)
"protein" is made up of amino acids - u dont need "protein" but u need amino acids.
if ur daughter is eating some nuts & seeds along with mostly raw fruits & veggies (which also contain "protein") then shes getting enough amino acids - no meat/eggs/dairy required.
this is a common misconception. do research on amino acids (what protein is made of).
what really matters is the minerals from raw produce, and the healthy fats (avocado, nuts & seeds, raw coconut oil). even more important is what u dont eat (processed unwhole foods) which toxify the body.
peace & love :)
ps. i am proud of my daughter for choosing her healthy & cruelty-free lifestyle (u should be proud of ur daughter too)
+MyHealthierMe Thanks so much. I'm sticking to consuming Complan with milk. FYI I turned vegan just a month back and I feel so much more conscious in every moment! Thanks again.
Amen! We're drunk on protein in the US
Hi Sir I am weight loss any give to tips sir
Yes organic is good for u we all know that but it's also expensive and when you're on a budget it's really hard to buy all organic. Now I'm feeling scared because I can't afford organic does that mean I'm in bad health? =/
look up "the dirty dozen - what to buy organic" for info on where u can save money and not get organic. but dont forget the soil will have more minerals and so will the produce (meaning it is better for u - has more "nutrients").
peace & love
+badabing organic, schmorganic.
Unless you're chowing down on great slabs of animal flesh.
But spot the elephant in the room.
yangtse55 Ewwww! Hopefully the elephant is in the room with me! Cuz if it's in the room with you, you might "chow down" on its flesh! :/
Why eat "slabs of animal flesh" when there are sooo many yummy super great sources of protein in plant foods; as mentioned in the video - such as nuts/ seeds/ avocado/ coconut/ etc.)?
Consuming meat (organic or not) is still toxic; no way around that. So if you eat meat there's really no point in trying to find a "healthier organic version" it simply doesn't exist. It's all or nothing; toxin wise.
Go vegan! You still get to eat "protein".
Peace & Love
Go vegan, buy non gmo you will be fine. Make beans every day and rice. 😉
Absolutely right question who efforts this much money,,, in my country there is nothing called organic, and if you find it say bye bye for your pocket it's not the problem of one person but the whole family.. 🙄🤔🔴👍🏻
*The thing is I need all that protein from not animal sources!*
We all have way too much protein in modern diets and there is plenty of protein in vegetables. You don't need meat, fish and dairy. The clue is grass fed beef, big strong animals only eat veg. If you just eat your daily calories in broccoli you will get enough protein! As an athlete I recover much better now I am vegan.
SublimePicturesTV a lion is a big strong animal that doesn’t only eat veggies...
Proof?
I don't see people eating seeds.
How many eggs should I eat a day if I want to get strong
Hyun Yoo Park no more than 1 or 2. They’re high in cholesterol

Listen to josh axe, a doctor of chiropractic medicine. This guys credentials are just as valid as a high school education in terms of nutrition.
I don’t know how this guy has over 875k subscribers lol.
What is protein S created by the COVID 19 vaccination?
Statements like "You need half your body weight in protein" make me loose faith in your knowledge. I've seen you make this statement in articles too. Half your body weight if you were 150 pounds would be 75 pounds, not 75 gms...so that statement is not accurate, it has to be translated into what you must mean...I suggest stating that you use this formula:
Take your body weight, and think of it as grams, then divide that amount of grams in half to get the your amount of daily protein intake.
Then please give some idea of how you came to determine this required amount ( formula).
When he said 150 pounds I was thinking 'so I'd need 75 pounds of protein? Is it even possible to eat that much?'
Sunny Strathern Right. I think he provides a lot of great info. that people benefit from in general, but once in awhile he says something I have to piece together, or something that seems to contradict something else he says.
Way to not use your heads, dummies. You are trying to nitpick at the way he worded something in an attempt to make yourself sound smarter. I’m pretty sure everyone else understood what he said. Nice try , bud. He’s giving a general estimate of protein intake for good health. He’s not out here claiming that it will cure cancer.
Jordan Olsen to sound smarter why ??? I clearly have a username/anonymous, so what would I have to gain ? It's just your perception....I gave feedback.
Seems likely that you can't identify feedback, so look up what it means and how it's useful to people who are not defensive.
So in my expression of confusion and lack of understanding, I was nitpicking?
havent eaten protein in months feel great ride the bike hard ,no issues.Havent eaten meat of any kind in 2 years feel great ,no fish no chicken no red meat ,i must be different?
you haven't eaten protein in months? What do you mean? You don't eat food at all? Wegetables have a lot of proteins (as he said in vid - e.g. beans).
Amako I eat veggies.i guess I'm getting protein No beans
Hemp seeds has about 33% protein, Stinging nettle has between 30-40% protein flax seed has a lot of protein in it as well. All life has some form of protein, some more than others. the rawer you can eat organic veggies the more you will get out of them
You are not different you are just doing it right. Protein is in vegetables too, potato, broccoli etc. so you are probably getting plenty in your diet and avoiding all the saturated fats and crap in meat and dairy.
no you're just a skinny weak person.
Information in this video is incorrect. Most American exceed their proteins requirements.
I’m craving a medium rare steak right meow
Vegans are getting triggered
Ultra HansKB don't have to be vegan to see this is bro-science.
Ultra HansKB
Nope, we are not. I use vegan, pure protein.
Nah this guy is just a fucking idiot
Do ya own research, .... beware an aware of the proteins...
If you want to build muscle as fast as possible, I suggest the personalized Agoge diet... I'm seeing awesome results!
❤
Hlw
He lost me when he said that meat and diary are quality protein
He also said "Grass fed"
You lost me too
Eat more protein brooo
166,666th viewer!
does it surprise you that he's so weak
its this guy freakin kidding me???? 1/2 of our body weight in protein!? NO ONE in a first world country who eats a variety of whole foods is protein deficient in any way..... Now maybe fiber deficiency, that's what he should be talking about.
What the heck is "quality" protein anyways? No one uses a whole protein, we break all protein down into amino acids then use that to build our own protein. We do NOT need more protein. 1/2 your weight in grams as protein is overkill. 0.4 grams per pound of body weight is what the NIH recommends. This guy is full of crap
Very poorly researched guy
