Forget Protein Powders: The One Nut That Rebuilds Muscle Overnight | Doctor Josh Axe

Описание: Are protein powders really the best way to build muscle? Or is there a powerful, natural alternative hiding in your kitchen?

In this episode, I’m breaking down why pumpkin seeds may be one of the most underrated muscle-recovery foods on the planet. Packed with plant-based protein, magnesium, zinc, iron, healthy fats, and sleep-supporting nutrients, this simple nut (technically a seed) supports muscle repair, hormone balance, and deep overnight recovery — without artificial sweeteners or processed isolates.

You’ll discover how muscle is actually built during sleep, why recovery is more important than most people think, and how specific nutrients like leucine, magnesium, and zinc activate muscle protein synthesis naturally. I’ll also explain how to use pumpkin seeds correctly, the ideal amount before bed, who benefits most from this strategy, and when protein powders still make sense.

If you train hard but feel stuck…
If you struggle with soreness or poor sleep…
If you want lean muscle without relying on processed supplements…

This video is for you.

Your body doesn’t just need more protein — it needs smarter nutrition.

Watch until the end for my simple 7-day muscle recovery reset plan.
