Still following outdated diet advice that tells you to eat less, avoid protein, or restrict everything you love?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.
