Yes, when protein comes mostly from concentrated sources like shakes and powders, it can overload the liver and slow how efficiently it clears used estrogen. Why isn't extra protein helping my menopause symptoms? Your liver, not your protein intake, may be the bottleneck. What should I eat instead of protein shakes after 40? Whole food protein sources like eggs, fish, chicken, and legumes digest slowly and are easier for your liver to process.📱 RESOURCES Free Masterclass: https://www.thewisefoodsolution.com/webinar-ig Website: https://www.valerialopezpoliero.se Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wisefoodchoices_🔔 Subscribe for science-backed weight loss strategies designed for women over 40.ABOUT VALERIA LOPEZ: Licensed nutritionist with 25 years of experience in hormonal health, gut health, and fasting for women over 40.
