Ep. 79 - Truths About Nutrition After 50 & Why the Old Diet Advice Isn’t Helping

Still following outdated diet advice that tells you to eat less, avoid protein, or restrict everything you love? No wonder you're feeling tired, stuck, or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to.

In this episode, I’m breaking down three nutrition truths every woman over 50 needs to know — especially if you want more energy, better mobility, and lasting weight loss without the burnout.

You'll learn:

• Why you actually need more protein, not less
• How restriction sabotages consistency
• The sneaky way blood sugar crashes are draining your energy

This is your permission to ditch the old rules — and start fueling your body in a way that works with your hormones, metabolism, and real life.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Muscle loss increases after 50, making protein essential, not optional
• Extreme calorie cutting leads to burnout, not results
• Balanced meals help you avoid energy dips and constant cravings
• Real, sustainable change comes from nourishment, not restriction

You’re not behind. You’re rebuilding—with grace. 💜
