In this episode of Non-Negotiable Living, Ashley dives deep into everything you need to know about protein—what makes a protein “whole” versus incomplete, why both types of proteins matter, and where collagen fits into the conversation. Whether you’re aiming to build muscle, balance hormones, or nourish your skin, understanding protein is crucial for every woman.

Ashley explains the science behind whole proteins, such as eggs, chicken, and quinoa, and how combining incomplete protein sources like beans and rice can help you meet your needs, especially if you follow a plant-based diet. She also unpacks the benefits of collagen, despite it not being a complete protein, and why it’s still an essential part of your routine for skin, joints, and gut health.

Ashley provides practical tips for hitting your daily protein target and designing balanced meals, making it easier to support your metabolism, maintain muscle, and stabilize blood sugar. If you’ve ever wondered how to optimize your protein intake or why collagen is more than just a beauty trend, this episode is for you!
