About this episode
Protein is having a moment—but how much do you actually need?
In this episode, we’re digging into the hype, the research, and the real-life application of protein intake for women in all stages of life, including perimenopause and menopause. With so much noise around macros and protein powders, it can be hard to know what’s real and what’s just diet culture in disguise.
Elizabeth breaks down the science (with receipts), Tara shares what’s trending in the fitness world, and Maria asks all the questions we know you’re wondering too.
In this episode:
Why nutrition is more nuanced than social media makes it seem
How much protein you might need—and what the research actually says
What you need to know about the RDA
Red flags when you’re eating too much protein
Easy sources of protein beyond chicken and fish
When and why to use protein powder or bars
Why your overall eating pattern matters more than a single meal
