Could Eating More Protein Fix Your Back Pain?
Aug 19, 2025What if your back pain wasn’t just about posture, stress, or how you sleep? What if the amount of protein you eat every day played a bigger role than you think in building a healthy spine AND overall body function?
Your spine is one of the most protein-dependent structures in your body. Most people only connect protein with muscle growth, but your bones, discs, and the muscles that stabilize your spine all rely on it too.
Here’s something most people don’t realize: your vertebrae are nearly one-third protein, your discs are mostly protein, and your spine is constantly rebuilding itself. Without enough protein, this repair process falls behind—and that can leave you stiff, achy, and more prone to pain.
Research even shows that people who get more protein have denser, stronger bones and less spinal pain over time. Yet, the daily recommendations many people follow are only enough to prevent deficiency, not to truly support spinal health.
In this video, I’ll share how much protein your spine really needs, why most people are falling short, and the practical ways you can start meeting those needs—without spending your whole day eating chicken.
If you’ve been frustrated by chronic back pain, this might be one of the missing pieces you’ve never considered.
And as always, Be Your Own Guarantee for your health and life.
