Protein advice online is loud, contradictory, and exhausting — and you deserve better than a 30-second reel telling you to eat 200 grams a day. In this episode, we cut through the noise with a calm, research-backed approach built specifically for women in perimenopause and beyond. You'll walk away with simple, practical guidance — and a whole lot of permission to stop making this harder than it needs to be. 


Main points discussed today:


  • Why the protein conversation feels so overwhelming 
  • What protein actually does 
  • Why we need more protein as we age
  • How much you actually need
  • The palm-of-your-hand hack 
  • Protein powder: supplement, not substitute
  • Easy ways to boost breakfast protein
  • Batch cooking as a game-changer 
  • The trend matters, not the perfect day
