If you’re eating “healthy” but not losing weight, this episode is for you.

Most women over 35 think they’re getting enough protein — especially if breakfast includes eggs, avocado toast, or a smoothie. But when it comes to fat loss, muscle preservation, metabolism, and hormone changes in perimenopause, that breakfast may not be doing what you think it is.

In this episode, I break down:

• How much protein women actually need for fat loss
 • Why 2 eggs is not a high-protein breakfast
 • The science of muscle protein synthesis after 35
 • How low-protein mornings lead to cravings and energy crashes
 • Why fat loss feels harder in perimenopause
 • Simple high-protein breakfast ideas that actually support metabolism

If weight loss feels slower, more emotional, or unpredictable lately, it’s not because you lack discipline — it may be because your body needs more support.

This episode will help you understand the role of protein in fat loss for women over 35 — and how to make small changes that create sustainable results.
