It's great that you're already timing your protein shakes around your medications! This is exactly the right approach since protein can delay or reduce the effects of [[treatment:levodopa/carbidopa:55d534f51fcaa397470006dd]]. The key is maintaining at least a 30-minute gap before or a 60-minute gap after taking your medication when consuming any protein-rich foods or supplements.
