Protein recommendations are evolving, sparking important conversations across research and practice.

International protein researcher, Donny Camera examines emerging science, including considerations for the general population and key groups such as older adults.

Building on this foundation, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Justin Robinson bridges the gap between guidelines and real-world application, sharing insights from practice while highlighting the unique needs of athletic populations. The webinar concludes with a panel discussion where speakers will address practical questions and share perspectives on key topics related to protein requirements.
