🥩 Let's talk protein.

The more I researched PCOS, weight loss, muscle building, fertility, and overall health, the more I kept running into the same thing:

Protein matters.

Not because it's some magic solution.
Not because it cures PCOS.
But because it's one of the foundations that supports almost every health goal.

That's why I put together this carousel.

Inside you'll find:

✔ How much protein you actually need
✔ The best animal protein sources
✔ The best plant protein sources
✔ Protein myths vs facts
✔ What current evidence says about protein and PCOS

A few things surprised me while researching this:

➡️ Women don't automatically need less protein than men.
➡️ Plant proteins can absolutely support muscle growth.
➡️ Biltong is incredibly protein-dense because water has been removed.
➡️ Most people probably eat less protein than they think.
➡️ Protein is important, but no single nutrient determines your health.

As someone navigating PCOS myself, I've learned that the answer is rarely some miracle supplement or extreme diet.

It's usually the boring stuff.

Eating enough protein.
Moving your body.
Sleeping properly.
Managing stress.
Repeating those habits consistently.

Small actions.
Repeated often.
For a long time.

That's where the magic happens.

DAY 8 OF THE REBUILD

This has become one of my daily rituals.

Every morning I start with lemon, mineral salt, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, saffron tea and creatine as part of my personal health protocol.

Do I think this drink is responsible for all my progress?

No.

What I do believe is that small daily actions compound over time.

My goal isn't a quick fix.

My goal is to rebuild my health, prepare my body for the future, improve my metabolic health, support recovery, and become the strongest version of myself.

I live with PCOS, chronic pain, inflammation and the long-term effects of serious injuries. For years I felt like my body was working against me.

Now I'm focusing on what I can control every single day.

Current weight: 94kg
Highest weight I can remember: 107kg+

I still have another 25-30kg to lose.

But today isn't about the finish line.

It's about Day 8.

One day.
One choice.
One step closer.

Most people think kidney disease causes pain.

The reality is that kidney damage can develop silently for years before symptoms appear.

That's why so many people are shocked when routine testing reveals protein in their urine or declining kidney function.

The goal isn't to wait until something feels wrong.

The goal is to identify problems while there's still plenty of time to act.

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, excess weight, or a family history of kidney disease, knowing your numbers matters.

eGFR.

uACR.

HbA1c.

Blood Pressure.

Because prevention is always easier than treatment.

Swipe through and learn how diabetic kidney disease develops long before most people realize it's happening.

THE BIGGEST KIDNEY MISTAKE DIABETICS MAKE

The biggest mistake most diabetics make is assuming that if something was wrong with their kidneys, they would know it. Unfortunately, kidney disease doesn't work that way. You can feel completely healthy while damage is quietly developing in the background. No pain. No obvious symptoms. No warning signs that would make you think anything is wrong.

Meanwhile, elevated blood sugar may be placing enormous stress on the tiny filtration units inside your kidneys. These microscopic filters work around the clock to clean your blood and remove waste products. When blood sugar remains elevated for months or years, those filters can become inflamed and damaged. In the beginning, the kidneys often compensate by working harder. Most people never notice this happening because they still feel perfectly normal.

As time passes, the damage can progress. The filtration barrier may become less selective, allowing important proteins such as albumin to leak into the urine. Eventually, healthy kidney tissue can be replaced by scar tissue, reducing the kidneys' ability to do the job they were designed to do. The frightening part is that this process can continue for years before symptoms finally appear.

That's why diabetic kidney disease is often called a silent disease. The people who protect their kidneys aren't necessarily the people who feel sick. They're the people who monitor what is happening before symptoms develop. They know their eGFR. They know their uACR. They know their HbA1c. They keep an eye on their blood pressure.

Because when kidney disease finally becomes obvious, it has often been developing quietly for a very long time.

Don't wait for symptoms.

Measure what matters.

People often ask why I'm so focused on nutrition, metabolic health, supplements, blood sugar, inflammation and longevity.

The answer is simple: because for me, this isn't just about weight loss.

After the bike accident, I was left with multiple injuries, chronic pain and physical limitations. I can't exercise like most people can, and I live with daily inflammation. Last year I also nearly lost my liver after overusing pain medication, which means I can no longer rely on pain pills when things get bad.

What I eat directly affects how much pain I'm in.

That's why I've spent countless hours reading scientific journals, research studies and comparing them to mainstream health advice. My approach is based on physiology, metabolic health and understanding how the human body actually works.

I follow a nose-to-tail approach to nutrition and believe in including organ meats such as liver, heart and kidneys. Right now I'm eating a Carnivore Plus Ferments lifestyle, focusing mainly on steak, eggs, kimchi and other fermented foods.

I avoid things that may contribute to inflammation or affect nutrient absorption, and I focus heavily on mitochondrial health, stable blood sugar and reducing glucose spikes.

I'm also working on longevity. I try to take daily walks, get morning sunlight, drink olive oil daily and I'm working hard to quit smoking. Smoking significantly increases the risk of complications and failure after spinal fusion surgery, and I want to give myself the best possible chance of recovery when that time comes.

Yesterday I ate 2 steaks, a pork chop cooked in butter and tallow, 2 eggs, Bulgarian yoghurt, cottage cheese, kimchi and a protein shake. Total intake was roughly 1,300 calories, 160g protein and only 20g carbs.

Since Monday I've lost 2.5kg and 6cm off my waist.

I currently can't work because of my injuries, so I spend my days creating art, painting and 3D printing when my body allows it.

I'm documenting this journey because it keeps me accountable. Maybe one day it becomes something bigger. Maybe it doesn't. But if my story helps even one person take control of their health, then sharing it is worth it.
