💪🥩🍳 America’s Protein Obsession: Hype vs. Reality

👉 71% of Americans want more protein—yet most already get more than the recommended amount.
👉 Influencers push “1g per pound” (~2.2 g/kg/day), but studies show no added muscle or health benefits beyond ~1.6 g/kg/day (~0.7 g/lb/day).
👉 Extra protein isn’t stored—it’s wasted (literally peed out) and may raise risks for heart disease, diabetes, and shorter lifespan.

🚫 Protein bars, powders, and supplements = big business, not proven science.
✅ Real strength comes from resistance training: weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, bands, push-ups, deadlifts—not protein overload.

Bottom line: Most of us don’t need more protein. We need smarter choices and consistent strength training for real, lasting health.

✨ Did you know?
Research shows that women using testosterone may have a slightly higher chance of developing extra hair growth, but actually have lower risks of serious issues like heart attacks, blood clots, and even breast cancer.

👉 In fact, women over 56 on testosterone had about 50% less risk of breast cancer compared to those not on it.

💡 Bottom line: Testosterone therapy in women appears overall safe for the heart—and may even offer protection against breast cancer.

🧠✨ Did you know? A new study found that women with Alzheimer’s have unusually low omega fatty acid levels.

At the Couri Center, we’ve been ahead of the curve—through our Total Lifestyle by Couri (TLC) program, we have been checking omega fatty acid levels in our patients for years. Why? Because these essential fats play a critical role in brain health, heart health, inflammation, and overall wellness.

💡 Knowing your omega balance is an important piece of your health journey—and it can help guide personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support long-term vitality.

Dr. Couri attended the Androgen Society’s Annual Meeting in San Francisco in July—the most successful one yet! 🌟

She said that it was an incredible experience to connect with colleagues from around the world, build new professional relationships, and continue to expand her knowledge about the role of testosterone therapy in both women and men.

She is grateful to be part of such a dynamic, growing community committed to advancing science and improving patient care. Exciting things ahead!

❓ Did you know?

In the past two decades, the incidence of hip fracture has increased by 24%—largely due to an aging population and population growth.

But there’s another piece of this story that we feel needs to be heard…

👉 23 years ago, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) released misleading information about hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
👉 Millions of women were taken off their estrogen therapy overnight.
👉 The result? A generation of women lost the bone protection that HRT provides—leaving them more vulnerable to osteoporosis and fractures.
👉 Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone density and strength, helping to prevent osteoporosis and fractures.
