121. Let’s Talk About Protein: How Much Women Really Need (It’s More Than You Think!)
Description
Ever wonder why you’re so tired by 3 p.m. or why workouts feel harder than they should? The answer might be in your protein intake.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why women—especially moms—need more protein than the RDA suggests, and how it impacts energy, hormones, muscle, and aging. With tips from dietitian Carla Williams, plus easy, real-life ways to hit your protein goals (without living on chicken breasts), you’ll learn how simple changes can make a big difference.
