In this episode, we explored the transformative benefits of incorporating clean protein into the diets of women navigating the midlife menopausal years. A quick equation to find your protein sweet spot. Body weight converted to Kilograms (ask Siri lol), times .8-1.8 (I go with 1.2 and 1.8) Example. body weight 130ish = 60 kilograms x 1.2 &1.8 = 70-100 grams of protein a day.
Clean protein includes both Animal and Plant sources.
Animal-based options include lean meats like chicken and turkey, grass-fed beef in moderation, wild fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and humanely raised eggs.
Plant-based alternatives can be tofu, legumes, quinoa, and lentils. In addition, nuts and seeds, like hemp, chia, and flax. They not only bring protein, but also essential fatty acids, supporting your overall health during this transformative phase.
Opting for organic animal products reduces exposure to hormones and antibiotics, contributing to cleaner, more nutrient-dense protein sources for your body.
And for plant-based options, choosing organic ensures that your nuts, seeds, and legumes are grown without synthetic pesticides, fostering a more sustainable and wholesome approach to nutrition.
Remember to start slow making 1% shifts to create sustainable, daily habits.
