Summary

Women over 40 face a perfect storm when it comes to protein - we're losing muscle mass, dealing with anabolic resistance, and juggling life demands that make proper nutrition feel impossible. I've cracked the code on hitting my daily protein goals without the boring chicken breast routine, and I'm sharing exactly how I do it. From my morning smoothie hacks to my favorite grass-fed steaks with pluck seasoning, I'll walk you through my real-world strategy for getting 0.7 to 1 gram per pound of target body weight. This isn't about restriction - it's about building the foundation for aging powerfully while actually enjoying your food. What you’ll learn: Why protein needs increase dramatically after 40, and the science behind anabolic resistance My exact daily protein formula and how to calculate your target intake Strategic meal timing, including the importance of "bumper meals" at breakfast and dinner Creative ways to boost protein without relying on plain chicken and boring powders Plant-based and animal-based protein combinations that actually taste amazing Simple batch cooking strategies and travel hacks for consistent protein intake How to use protein powders, collagen, and essential amino acids effectively The role of digestive enzymes in maximizing protein absorption as we age Love the Podcast?
