There is a LOT of talk on “high protein” on social media
For our menopausal clients we actually have a slightly less aggressive take on it
Getting enough protein MATTERS – its matters A LOT
Especially in menopause we are dealing with
➡️ Muscle loss
➡️ Slower recovery
➡️ Reduced strength
➡️ Visceral fat
➡️ Lower metabolic health
HOWEVER , for A LOT of women in menopause, due to the large shift in the diversity of their gut microbiome that NATURALLY occurs – they cannot tolerate firstly these super high protein targets we see blasted all over social media and they cant tolerate such levels of processed protein (the powders, bars etc)
EVERY woman is different
EVERY woman will require a different level of intake based on her symptoms, activity levels, body stats etc
Add menopausal gut changes to the mix and things become even more individualized
We aim with our Menopause Clients to get to what we call a BASELINE first
Roughly 75-90g of protein across the day
THEN we will make more of an individual judgement based on the woman in front of us; her needs, her exercise levels, her tolerance BUT also her adherence..
IF a woman can CONSISTENTLY consume 90g of protein every day, this is MUCH better than a woman having a target of 120g and only hitting it a few days a week..
🤯There is so much misinformation on social media
🤯So much over hype
🤯WAY too much focus on supplements
🤯SO much “do this” no “do that”
Exhaustingly confusing
This is why we are helping women break free from this NOISE and actually learn what their body needs
Nutrition and looking after your health is “easy” when you have built realistic habits of consistency in which i will be teaching you all ON MY menopause academy!
