Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 21.902 Arthur Brooks

I want to introduce you to a way to think about something that's incredibly inevitable. I mean, totally inevitable. We all will experience grief because sadness is part of life. And sadness based on loss, which is grief, of course, is something that we don't have to go looking for in point of fact will find us. Grief is losing something or someone that you love.

Now, why am I talking about it? Because when we talk about it, the research can give us a tremendous amount of value in understanding what it is, why it happens, how it's normal and how to deal with it. And that's my goal here.

Hey friends, a lot of you know that I keep a very high protein diet. That's important for me in my 60s because I want to maintain a good level of muscle protein synthesis and I don't always have time to eat as much protein as I want from whole foods.

146.38 - 159.959 Arthur Brooks

That's the ideal, but it's just not manageable all the time. For that reason, I'm always looking for supplements that can actually get me where I need to go with respect to my macronutrient profile. A bunch of my friends were telling me that David Protein is a really good source.

160.199 - 180.927 Arthur Brooks

The reason is because protein bars in general, they're handy, they're convenient, but they can be very high in calories and they can actually be really high in carbohydrate, especially in the form of sugar. David Protein, I heard, was better. Sure enough, it's got a great profile. has 40% more protein and 57% fewer calories than most of the protein bars you find out there.

180.947 - 206.062 Arthur Brooks

28 grams of protein, 150 calories, zero grams of sugar. That's actually quite a feat to put that together. And by the way, they taste great. David Protein has a new bronze line with 20 grams of protein, 150 calories, and zero grams of sugar. That comes to 53% calories from protein, another industry-leading protein-to-calorie ratio, as most leading protein bars on the market average 40% or lower.

206.402 - 223.389 Arthur Brooks

Each bronze bar features a smooth, decadent marshmallow base with a flavor-filled layering, airy crisp, and a chocolate-flavored coating, providing a different taste and texture profile compared to our Hero Gold line. I started buying David Protein bars, and now I'm pleased that they're sponsoring this show as well.

223.649 - 241.33 Arthur Brooks

So whether you're on the go or hitting the gym, if you're trying to meet your protein targets, David Protein is a good way for you to do it. That's why I'm doing it, and it's what I'm carrying when I'm on the road. So head over to davidprotein.com. They've got a special offer for you. If you buy four cartons, they'll give you the fifth carton for free. You're going to love that.

241.791 - 265.586 Arthur Brooks

And you can also find David Protein in stores by looking for the store locator. So enjoy. Today, I want to talk about a very hard topic that sounds like not a topic of happiness, but rather quite the opposite. That's grief. And if I do my job, I want to introduce you to a way to think about something that's incredibly inevitable. I mean, totally inevitable.
