The Metabolism Shift Series | Episode 9 | You Don't Have a Willpower Problem. You Have a Protein Problem.

Summary This episode explores the critical role of protein in women's health over 40, addressing common misconceptions, optimal intake, and practical strategies to improve muscle maintenance, hunger regulation, and hormonal balance. Key Topics Optimal protein intake for women over 40 Signs of protein deficiency in women Meal distribution and timing for maximum benefit Impact of protein on muscle, hunger, and hormones Practical steps to increase daily protein intake Takeaways Most women eat half the protein they need, leading to muscle loss and hormonal issues. Aim for at least 30 grams of protein per meal, not just per day. Protein helps regulate hunger, stabilize blood sugar, and support hormones.
