High-protein diets are having their moment — and yes, protein is incredible for women over 35 when it comes to metabolism, muscle, blood sugar, and hormones.
But here’s the problem: most women aren’t actually digesting and absorbing their protein properly… which means they’re not getting the results they think they are. And to make it worse? A lot of the protein they are eating is coming from processed sources or foods that are straight-up inflammatory for their body.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why protein is only as good as your ability to digest and absorb it
- The #1 signs your protein isn’t being broken down properly
- The processed protein trap (and why it’s keeping you inflamed & bloated)
- How to build a high-protein diet that actually supports your metabolism & hormones
- What to do if you suspect your digestion is holding you back
If you’ve been eating more protein but not seeing the weight loss, energy boost, or muscle changes you expected — this one’s going to be an eye-opener.
