24. Women Over 40 Are Under-Eating Protein *Nutrition Series 2

Most women over 40 are dramatically under-eating protein without even realizing it, and it impacts far more than muscle. This is one of the most important topics for women 40 + in this nutrition series. I'm going to break down why protein becomes more important as women age and how low protein intake can affect metabolism, blood sugar, cravings, hormones, mood, energy, recovery, and healthy aging. I’ll also talk about why eating less often backfires, how women unintentionally lose muscle while trying to lose weight, and why protein matters even more during perimenopause and menopause.You’ll learn the common signs you’re not eating enough protein, why blood sugar stability matters, how protein supports neurotransmitters and metabolism, and simple ways to increase protein intake without becoming obsessive or overwhelmed. If you’ve been exhausted, hungry all the time, struggling with cravings, losing muscle, or feeling like your metabolism has slowed down, this episode will help you understand what your body may actually need.Guide to Protein: https://resources.tiffanyflaten.com/products/guide-to-proteinConnect with Me… Tiffany FlatenIf you’re feeling dismissed, unheard, or stuck in the cycle of “your labs are normal,” and you’re ready to feel like yourself again…Working with me starts with a simple application, just fill out the form below, and we’ll be in touch soon.
