Protein Powder

I am a 61 yr old woman with a spinal cord injury, the point of which is that I do absolutely as much exercise as possible but I clearly am not a body builder, but I want to age as well as possible, keep my muscle mass as good as possible, etc. All things Peter talks about. I simply cannot eat enough protein to get what I need (or at least based on his calculations) so I have a protein smoothie every day - with vanilla protein powder. Lately I've heard that could tax your kidneys and may not be a good source of protein. Any thoughts on pea protein powder as a reasonable source of added protein. My diet includes fish and some chicken but just can't eat that three times a day, my caloric needs are different than when I was younger and running around all the time! The information out there on pea protein powder is literally all over the place - it's completely unclear whether this is a reasonable source. Thank you!!!

Tinnitus - causes, drug correlations, treatments, long term impacts on longevity

Hi Peter and team, In a AMA, could you please cover tinnitus causes, drug correlations (I've heard some statins may play a role in the development of tinnitus) and long terms health impacts (any relationship to hearing loss and dementia link?). Tinnitus affects a significant portion of the aging population and at a minimum, tinnitus is a quality of life concern.
