In this episode, I’m breaking down what really happens when you’re not eating enough protein in your 40s and beyond. We’ll cover the signs of protein deficiency, how it slows your metabolism, leads to stubborn fat gain, weakens your muscles, and even impacts your blood sugar and aging.
You’ll also learn how much protein you actually need, the best sources (especially for women over 40), and how to easily increase your intake — without counting every macro or living off protein shakes.
