Protein powders – do you really need them?
Description
Wondering whether you actually need a protein powder? Or if it's all just a bit too gym bro for midlife women who simply want to feel energised and supported?
In this episode of Fab Female Nutrition, I unpack everything you need to know about protein and protein powders:
✔️ Why protein matters more as we age – especially for metabolism, hormones and muscle health
✔️ How much you actually need (spoiler: probably more than you think)
✔️ How to get enough from food – and when a shake might be a good idea
✔️ What to look for in a clean, effective protein supplement
✔️ My honest take on when and why I use protein powders myself
This isn’t about extremes – it’s about practical, balanced choices that actually work in real life.
