Ep. 38 | Protein Macronutrient: You Probably Aren’t Eating Enough
You eat chicken. You have eggs sometimes. Maybe a protein bar here and there.
And you think you're covered.
You're probably not. Most women — especially women over 40 — are significantly under-eating protein. And it's quietly affecting everything from your energy and your immune system to your weight and how full you feel after meals.
This episode gives you the foundation: what protein actually does, why it matters, and how to get more of it.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why protein is the building block of your body — every cell, tissue, and organ depends on it
How protein supports cellular functions, your immune system, and your body's ability to fight off illness and recover from stress
The role of protein in growth, repair, and energy production — and why this matters even more as you age
How protein supports nutrient transport and fluid balance — functions most women don't realize depend on adequate protein intake
Why protein-rich foods help you feel fuller for longer — reducing cravings, stabilizing blood sugar, and supporting weight management naturally
Why so many women aren't getting enough — and the simple habits that keep protein intake low without you realizing it
Easy, practical tips to increase your protein intake starting today — without meal prepping for hours or forcing down food you don't enjoy
Here's the simple truth: if you're not eating enough protein, everything else you're doing for your health is working harder than it needs to. Protein is the foundation. And for women over 40 — when muscle loss, metabolic changes, and hormonal shifts are all happening at once — it's not optional. It's essential.
This episode is for you if: You're a woman over 40 who knows protein is important but isn't sure if she's eating enough — or why it matters so much right now. This is your starting point.
