Why Protein is Important, Especially For Women Over 40

from Mastering Menopause · host Kathy Cote

Being a woman in midlife means you’re way more likely to be losing muscle than gaining it. As we get older we don’t have the same level of muscle protein synthesis that we once did. We actually require more protein, especially during menopause, where we have a decline in estrogen, increase in cortisol, and decrease in growth hormone and testosterone, accelerating muscle loss. Since most women don’t have a lot of muscle mass to start with, it’s critical at this time to ensure more than just “adequate” amounts of protein. For more ideas on how to get in protein, join my free 5 day challenge. I will be popping in the group all week going live with tips and answering questions. Be sure to join me live on Tuesday as I give a quick tour of my pantry and fridge, showing you how I get in 40-50 grams of protein at each meal!
