How Much Protein Do You Really Need after 35?

Why is protein so important after 35? As we age, our bodies become less efficient at building and repairing muscle, making protein intake essential for maintaining strength, metabolism, and overall health. But how much do we really need, and how can we fit it into busy schedules?

In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie, our registered dietitian, to break it all down. She explains:

1. The ideal amount of daily protein intake
2. Myths about protein and weight gain
3. Simple strategies to incorporate high-quality protein into meals—no supplements required

From animal-based options like chicken and eggs to plant-based choices like lentils and tofu, there are plenty of ways to get enough protein without overcomplicating things.

We also dive into the importance of protein timing, especially around workouts, and why consistency matters more than hitting an exact number every day. Whether you're trying to maintain muscle, support fat loss, or just feel more energized, this episode is packed with practical, science-backed tips to make protein work for you.
