Protein After 40: How Much You Need and How to Get Enough

Protein becomes increasingly important as women move through their 40s and beyond. Changes in estrogen, muscle mass, and bone density can make preserving strength and supporting healthy aging more important than ever. In this episode of the Bloom and Beyond Podcast, we talk about how much protein women over 40 may need, why protein matters for muscle and bone health, and simple ways to get more throughout the day. You’ll also learn how to build meals by thinking about protein first, creative ways to increase protein without relying on shakes, and why protein and strength training work so well together. You don’t have to completely change the way you eat. A few intentional changes can help you make protein a regular part of every meal.
