Why Protein Shakes Affect People Differently

Protein shakes can make people feel different ways.

Some feel good, but others might feel bloated or uncomfortable.

A wellness coach named Luke Coutinho says this happens because of things like gut health, stress, how much water you drink, and your lifestyle.

If your stomach acid is low, the protein doesn't break down well, causing gas and bloating.

Cheap protein powders can also cause problems because they have bad ingredients.

Drinking enough water is important because protein needs more water to be processed.

Eating foods with fiber helps your stomach handle protein better.

Luke says it's important to eat mindfully, keep your minerals balanced, and take care of your gut.

He also warns that people with certain health problems should be careful with protein powders.
