Happy Tuesday, it's time for Tuesday Tip. I'm Doctor Tanda Cook and I wanted to chat about Arbonne protein powder. They're essential meal that they came out with last year and I think just in general all households should have should on. You guys should have a protein powder that the family likes. Arby's my favorite one because it tastes super awesome too. It has it's high in protein, it's easily absorbable and it has I favorite sources of healthy fats, so I'm partial to Arbonne. I just think in general it. Why? Because it's an easy go to meal. Women in general are pretty notorious for skipping meals. Women in general are also notorious for not eating enough protein. So this product is one of my favorites for solving both of those problems. It's easy, it's on the go, it is a full, it is a complete meal, which means you literally can add water to those things, shake it up, and drink it. I prefer for people to add food to it. You can boost the protein. Content with like adding an egg or eating an egg on the side. Adding berries for fiber and those phytonutrients. You can add greens to it. You can add frozen avocado. You can have add not frozen avocado. You can add frozen cauliflower, frozen cauliflower ads like that creamy texture. Makes it kind of creamy. You can add bananas, you. I just, I'm a huge fan of actually adding food to it. So, and that being said, because it is a complete meal, it is. Well, that's why it's called essential, I think, just an essential. Country. Go to So I've been with Urban for 14 years and this is absolutely their protein powders in general. They've continued to improve them, but their protein powders in general have just been top three favorite products since they came out in 2011. So again I know it's months end today so. It's like, good timing. I'm talking about our robotics, but the Essential Meal is, like I said, my my favorite. It's got pea. Hemp seed protein, pumpkin seed protein, quinoa rice, avocado oil. I mean it's just a really cool blend of nutrients and again, it's called an essential meat. It's the essential meal because it is a can be used as a full meal replacement. Again, I like to add the other food to it. And women, we have to be eating more protein, period. I mean, this has. I should have this memorized, right? 24 grams of protein. The last one I had 20 grams, so they upped this one to 24g, which is amazing. So shooting between 25 and 30 grams for most females I think is a good place to start. It's gonna feel like a lot, so make sure you're also counterbalancing that with moving your body enough, going for walks, doing resistance training. You know, a lot of my patients are between the ages of, you know, 40 and 65, and by the time we hit this age, we have got to be weight training. You have to be building muscle and we have to be protein focused. The other thing that protein does is it helps balance our blood sugar or something like 9. The stats keep going up but it's like 96.2% of us are metabolically unwell which means we have elevated glucose, elevated insulin, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver and it were a metabolic, metabolic disaster. One of the ways to to problem solve that is to focus on protein. I mean Doctor Katie and I. We have put many of our patients on protein forward food plans. We do not do diets. They just don't believe in dieting. We have therapeutics diets that we will have people follow for a short period of time. But this is about what is going to work for your body and what is going to work for your blood sugar, what is going to work for how much you're moving, how much you're sleeping. So making sure that we're supporting our blood sugar and our insulin levels with protein because if you think about protein, fat and carbohydrates. Like different sized logs of wood where the protein log is a really big log of wood. The fat log is also a really big log of wood. The carbohydrate logs are the kindling. And so when you throw kindling on a fire, which is it do, it burns really hot and then burns out pretty quick. Well that's exactly what complex and simple carbohydrates do in the body. Comma. Simple carbohydrates do it faster. That's like throwing paper on a fire. Complex carbohydrates are like throwing the kindling on the fire. So when you pair those complex carbs between need, those like sweet potatoes and onions and berries and bananas and you know, fruits and vegetables are complex carbs and quinoa and rice, like those are all complex carbohydrates. Now when you pair those with the big logs you gotta fire, that burns for a really long time. So you're not messing with your blood sugar so much when you're eating fat and protein with a meal and making that a complete meal with a carbohydrate, fat and protein. And that's why I love this. Products because it it is that balance. Again, I'm going to say that I think people should add food to this to up the nutrient ante because we are definitely nutrient deficient. But anyway, hope that's helpful. Again like the. The protein blend is superior I think because again, it's pea protein, hemp seed protein, pumpkin seed protein, quinoa and rice like it is just pumpkin seed is a great source of protein. I actually just did a post on Instagram about that or I added that in the vegetarian protein sources that I just posted and it tastes awesome and you know you can make. Pancakes. With it you can make protein bars. With it you can. Throw it in some water and shake it up and you're good to go. You can throw in a blender, like, there's so many people out there, They're doing really creative stuff with this protein powder. It's awesome. And again, like, I just think it should be a staple in people's pantries because when we were on the go and we don't know what to eat, it's just a really great option. And it's better than skipping a meal or reaching for something like those simple carbohydrates like cereal or pretzels or something when you're actually in need of protein and fat. So that's the Tuesday tip Shout with questions below because I know you guys will have a bunch. I hope that's helpful and I'll do a couple of other products this week. And I was going to cram them all into this one, but I'm not going to. So happy Tuesday. Love you guys. I'll see you next week. Bye.
