Welcome to Empower Your Menopause, the podcast where we bust myths, challenge outdated health advice, and empower women to thrive in midlife and beyond. 

It’s coaches James and Juli here, bringing you the real talk on what actually works for women over 40.

This week, we’re tackling a big question: How much protein do you really need? Because let’s be honest—most women are undereating protein without even realising it. And it’s one of the biggest reasons they struggle with energy, muscle loss, and metabolism changes in midlife.

🎧 In this episode, we’ll cover: 

✔ Why protein is critical for women over 40 

✔ How to calculate your ideal daily intake (it’s probably more than you think, but very easy to figure out!) 

✔ Common protein myths that keep women stuck in low-energy mode 

✔ Easy ways to hit your protein needs without living off chicken breast and protein shakes

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting enough—or why it even matters—this episode is for you!
