Still confused about how much protein you really need? You’re not alone—and this episode is here to clear the fog. Michelle and Tabitha take a fresh, no-fluff look at the protein conversation by diving deep into what your body is actually asking for: amino acids. You'll learn why it's not just about hitting a magic number of grams per day, but about getting the right types of protein, in the right ratios, at the right times. We break down the science behind complete proteins, essential amino acids, and how your body uses (and stores!) excess protein. Whether you're an omnivore, plant-based, or just trying to figure out if that protein shake is doing anything at all—this one’s for you. No overwhelm, just clarity and practical steps you can use today.
Listen in to discover:
- What essential amino acids are—and why they matter more than you think
- How to make sure you're getting quality protein, not just quantity
- What happens when you eat more protein than your body can use
- How to support optimal protein absorption with the right nutrients
- Whether amino acid supplements are worth it (and when)
This episode is your crash course in smarter, more sustainable protein strategies—designed especially for midlife women ready to feel strong, energized, and balanced.
