I thought your username looked familiar, then I realized you were the same guy who posted a video in this thread of this same doctor talking about a link between IGF-1 levels and cancer that really doesn't exist. Dr. Greger is a vegan who has an agenda that leads to misrepresenting and cherry picking data.
Since I have increased my protein intake by about 1/3 over the last 6 months.
1. My workouts are better and I am getting stronger/leaner
2. My thinking is more clear during the day on more protein and more carbs at night to sleep. The perfect combo is some caffeine/protein to get me going in the morning
3. My insomnia can be worse but it's also on days when I probably had too much caffeine.

For healthy adults, higher protein consumption isn't a problem. So it's not like consuming extra protein is going to damage your kidneys by itself in the long run.
However, many experts advise against consuming excess protein if you already have existing kidney problems and diseases..
I keep my protein sources varied, using beef, chicken breasts, and salmon, as well as whey protein. And I drink plenty of water to keep my kidneys flushed and healthy.
and paying more attention to food intake and health... many of my same age group friends..use to love to say "i don't eat red meat anymore" or cut back on meat,,,usually because the guys wife is pushing for that,,,,
and when questioning the wives of where they get their info on cutting back meat,,,they would say on tv or the internet....
well, if they cut out meat, they must be filling in with ice cream,,,,many are not the picture of health..
within the last two years,,,ive been sending them more and more articles and recent studies that meat is actually very good for you and has complete proteins and,,,that we in fact do need fat..
more and more are going on high protein diets with encouraging results
some days that's all I eat is meat.....
by what the anti meat agenda folks say,,,i shouldn't have lived to age 40
im over 50, can bench press over 300lb and don't lift much,,,take no medications,, have no allergies, very rarely get sick (haven't called sick into work for 6 years)
my dr. wishes he had my blood results,,,and he's on a plant based diet
" whatever you are doing, keep doing it" is what my dr. tells me
this past Christmas at two family gatherings.....even the ladies are admitting they got "shamed" by the health Nazi's into eating less meat,,,and by vegans they have known
and its much more enjoyable at gatherings,,,,when we eat good food in peace and not feel we are going to get lectured and shamed about it
