Protein Shakes? How Much Protein Do You Need?

Caring for your health includes fueling your body with protein.
Protein isn’t just for athletes. It builds muscle, strengthens bones and boosts immunity. It keeps you satiated and keeps hunger at bay, so it’s an important tool in
weight loss.

Here are some general guidelines:

  • Under 50: Multiply your weight by 0.38 grams
  • Over 50? Multiply by 0.45 grams
  • For a 55-year-old at 150 lb., that’s 67.5 gram of protein daily, or about 22.5 g per meal.

It’s important to address your personal physical goals as well. You may want to drink a protein shake every day. A normal shake is two scoops, totaling 30 grams of protein; but if you don’t eat a lot during the day, you may want to use three scoops for a total of 45 grams of protein.

Typically, it is recommended a woman take 20 grams of protein in her shake UNLESS she’s trying to build muscle (which most of us need to do), and in that case, she could add 30 grams of protein to her shake.

Make certain to check your labels.I use a shake that has ZERO sugar. Stay away from convenient shakes like Ensure. Ensure only offers 9 grams of protein but has 10 grams of sugar, plus a blend of vegetable oils!

Knowledge is protein power.

Do you “Shake”?

Word of mouth

It’s surprising to me how people on Facebook trust strangers who pitch items they can buy at local stores or online on platforms like Amazon, and then go on social media to promote these items.

Yet when a friend offers to show them a store that can save them money, provide fresh ingredients, and potentially help with health and finances, they often don’t trust them enough to even take a look. they automatically shut down.

This highlights the challenge of building trust and direct relationships in a fragmented digital space, where personal connections can be overshadowed by the influence of social media and online marketplaces.

I said yes

Over the years, I’ve realized one thing more than ever: Everyone needs additional income.
Business owners are having to hustle twice as hard, just to make the same money. Employees are worried about cutbacks and layoffs. Most people who work from home are struggling to make it. In most home based businesses, people are faking it till they make it, but they never make it or ashamed to be honest. They put on a show for everyone to see that has nothing to do with reality. Many are one month away from bankruptcy or losing everything.

My heart aches for those people. Those good, God-loving, church-going people that deserve to have A Good Life. One without worry and fear of losing everything. I’ve been there. More than once. I know what it’s like to be on food stamps and to require a box of food a week from the ministry. Or driving for Uber until you nearly run out of gas with a car full of passengers. Knowing that depression was the result and still trying my hardest to be strong for me and family.

Today, I’m grateful. I’m grateful that I had the courage to say yes to something new. Something different. Twenty years ago, I said yes. Because of that yes, I have stability and security. It’s a real business, with real customers buying things they really want. It’s real. It’s fresh. It’s honest. And I love it!

I’m exclusively work my side hustle

Saying goodbye to my previous career to exclusively work my side hustle and travel has been a transformative experience.
It has not only provided financial stability but has also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined.
Now, I can work from any corner of the globe with a laptop and a reliable internet connection—from bustling cafes in European cities to serene beaches in Southeast Asia.

My side hustle is a skill that will work no matter what’s going on in other markets. No matter how high interest rates are spiking.
No matter what the Federal Reserve has to say. No matter how much or little inventory is available. This side hustle will help you make money outside of your normal work environment forever.

If you’re feeling stuck in your current position, don’t be afraid to explore new avenues and consider a side hustle
I’m living proof that it can be done! Life is too short to settle for anything less than what truly makes you happy. Cheers to embracing change, pursuing dreams, and living life to the fullest!

Olive Oil and Lower Dementia Rates 

A 28 year scientific study with over 92,000 participants found that those who consumed at least 7 grams of olive oil daily had a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death.

Interestingly enough, this statistic held true after adjusting for diet quality, genetics (including the APOE ε4 gene, which increases dementia risk), and lifestyle factors.

Why is olive oil so protective?

It’s packed with monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and vitamin E, which have been shown to:

  • Protect brain cells from oxidative damage
  • Reduce neuroinflammation, (inflammation in the central nervous system), a key driver of cognitive decline
  • Support vascular health and maintain blood flow to the brain The study also found that replacing just 5 grams of margarine or mayonnaise with olive oil was associated with an 8–14% lower risk of dementia mortality. This highlights how eliminating harmful trans fats and switching to brain-supportive fats can make a measurable difference.

    Dementia rates are on the rise so these findings reinforce that what’s on our plates directly impact our brain health. Prioritizing extra virgin olive oil may be a simple yet powerful strategy for brain health!

Advice from an Urgent Care!

Everyone is getting sick now so it is a good idea to stay out of other folks faces.
You know RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Flu A & B are going around. So many people
are showing up at urgent care, daily. after all, it’s winter and this year’s weather is making it worse.

They all need to be treated symptomatically, these are all viruses, that can last up to two or three weeks, especially walking pneumonia—which can leave you with a hacking cough for months.

There’s no antibiotic treatment for viruses so, .over the counter Mucinex DM (and the like) will loosen all the mucus and thin it out. Increasing fluids, also helps so go heavy on the water intake!

Using a humidifier if you have one will help keep your lungs clear of mucous,.

Take hot steamy showers with vapor tablets— it will feel like heaven and help loosen the mucous.

Take cough medicine for your cough (if you get rid of the mucus, you get rid of the cough)
Take Tylenol/ibuprofen for your fever, pain, headaches, etc.. Also, sinus flushing (sinus suction for the toddlers) or a netipot can be one of the best things you can do for the sinus pressure headaches.

If you have a nebulizer, use it every four to six hours (especially if you are asthmatic). If you don’t have the solution from the doctor, mix two cups of sterile water (bottled or boiled) with one teaspoon of salt. Believe it or not, it will help to break up all that mucus in your lungs, chest, and sinuses.

Stay well!

The cost of membership

• Costco Membership: $65/year
• Amazon Prime Membership: $139/year
• Sam’s Club Membership: $50/year

No thanks.
Did you know that for just $19 a year, I can choose American-made, natural products—sounds like a much better deal to me!

For the past 20 years, my family has been shopping at my favorite Online Shopping Club, and we’ve saved thousands by steering clear of big corporations like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Instead, we proudly support a company that not only aligns with our values, but also allows us to earn by simply sharing with others. Plus, it prioritizes first responders and military families—something we deeply appreciate.

For me, every purchase feels like a meaningful choice, from supporting American-made goods to investing in businesses that give back to those who protect and serve our communities. That’s why every month, 20,000 to 40,000 new customers join in. It’s more than just shopping—it’s a movement. I’m proud of every family making the switch.

To me, this is how the average American breaks out of the system. You have to shop anyway—why not get paid for it?

My Online Shopping Club is the future of conscious consumerism, and I’m all in. Care to join me?
