TTT48: 3 Top Tips for Getting More Protein in Midlife

Are you struggling to eat enough protein?

Maybe you're not sure how much you actually need, whether protein powders are necessary, or how to fit more protein into your meals without living on chicken and broccoli.

The truth is, protein becomes even more important as we move through our 40s and beyond.

As oestrogen declines, we naturally become less responsive to protein, making it harder to build and maintain muscle. That matters because muscle isn't just about looking toned—it's essential for strength, metabolism, healthy ageing and maintaining your independence.

In this week's Top Tip Tuesday, Lisa shares three simple strategies to help you increase your protein intake without overcomplicating your nutrition.

In This Episode

⚔️ Why protein needs increase during perimenopause and menopause

⚔️ The connection between protein, muscle and healthy ageing

⚔️ Why most women are eating far less protein than they realise

⚔️ Three practical ways to increase your protein intake every day

⚔️ Simple meal swaps that make hitting your protein target much easier

Key Takeaway

Protein isn't just another nutrition trend.

It's one of the most important building blocks for maintaining muscle, supporting your metabolism and ageing well.

Small changes, repeated consistently, can make a huge difference over time.
