Mastering Menopause

In this episode of "Mastering Menopause," I discuss the myth that the body can only absorb 30 grams of protein per meal. Through research, I've found that active individuals can actually consume 40, 50, or even 70 grams of protein per meal, effectively debunking this outdated belief.

Protein is essential not just for muscle repair but also for hormone production, immune function, and more.

I emphasize the importance of protein intake, especially for women and those engaging in physical training.

I highlight studies that demonstrate higher protein levels are safe and beneficial, provided one doesn't have pre-existing kidney issues.

I also provide practical tips on achieving daily protein goals of 150-170 grams through a variety of food sources, aiding in fitness and health goals. Join my free challenge or community group for more insights.
