Protein is one of the most important — and most under-eaten — nutrients in women’s health. It’s not just about building muscle. Protein supports metabolism, hormone production, thyroid function, blood sugar balance, immune health, and even hair and nail strength.
In this episode, I break down:
What protein actually is (and what amino acids do in the body)
Why protein is essential for metabolism and muscle maintenance
How protein impacts hormones and thyroid health
Why the current RDA is often too low for women
How to calculate your personal protein needs
Exactly how much protein is in common foods
If you’ve ever thought, “I probably get enough,” — this episode will help you know for sure.
Protein is foundational. And when you get this right, energy improves, cravings stabilize, and your metabolism has the support it needs.
