Did you know women start losing muscle from their 30s, and that this speeds up in perimenopause and menopause?
In this episode, I’m talking all about protein for women over 40. I’m sharing why protein becomes essential for women over 40, not just for fitness or body goals, but for your muscle, metabolism, hormones, blood sugar, bones, and long-term vitality.
You’ll learn:
- Why muscle is the key to healthy ageing
- How much protein you actually need (hint: more than you think!)
- Why leucine is the amino acid you need to know about
- Whether plant proteins are enough and why collagen doesn’t count
- How digestion affects your ability to absorb protein properly
Plus, I share practical tips on how to hit your daily protein goals and optimise every meal to support your midlife health.
Listen now to feel strong, energised, and resilient, inside and out.
