protein in midlife

In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of protein and why it's a key player in promoting longevity and a healthier life, especially as we navigate through the challenges of middle age. 

I'll also help you figure out if you're getting enough protein daily (spoiler: you might not be) and share how I plan my meals to make sure I'm getting the right amount.

We'll cover essential questions to help guide you to a longer and healthier life:

• Why is incorporating protein into your diet essential for a longer and healthier life?
• What's the optimal daily protein intake for maintaining overall well-being?
• Where can you find the best sources of protein in your daily meals?
• Can protein aid in weight loss and muscle growth?
• What practical steps can you take to ensure you're meeting your protein needs?

In this episode, I explain how. It's actually not that hard if you use my method, so I go through it step-by-step. 

Protein is a very important macro - especially for women in perimenopause and menopause. I explain the benefits of protein too. 

You'll get answers to these questions:

✨What are the benefits of eating protein?

Did you know that in midlife you lose 1% of lean muscle mass per year?
Also, did you know that lean muscle mass helps you retain bone density (so you don't break a hip!) and helps with blood sugar control?

Midlife is great time to concentrate on building lean muscle and one of the ways we can do that is by eating more protein. 
In this episode we explore:

• What IS protein and what are its building blocks? (Hint: It's a macronutrient)
• What is the right amount of protein?
• How calorically dense is protein?
• What are some ways we can figure out if we're combining our macronutrients properly?
• What is the satiety factor of proteins, fats and carbs?
• How  do we work more protein into our diets?
• How does protein affect our weight?

Do you remember the 1980's breakfast of a bagel with cream cheese and orange juice? Cam and Amelia unpack why this wasn't optimum. We explain why the diet culture in which we grew up sabotaged our metabolisms and our mindsets and relationships with food.

Join us for this super-informative but not-so-sciencey look at the the macronutrient: Protein!
