During menopause, hormonal changes increase the risk of:
• Muscle loss
• Slower metabolism
• Blood sugar instability
• Increased cravings and fatigue
This is why protein becomes the most important macronutrient during this stage of life.
Adequate protein intake helps to:
✔ Preserve muscle mass and strength
✔ Support metabolic health
✔ Stabilise blood sugar levels
✔ Improve satiety and reduce cravings
✔ Support gut health and nutrient absorption
Yet many menopausal women are significantly under-eating protein, especially at breakfast and lunch.
The goal isn’t “high protein” for the sake of it — it’s the right amount, spaced evenly across the day, tailored to your body, activity level, and gut health.
As a clinical nutritionist specialising in menopause and gut health, I help women determine:
• How much protein they actually need
• The best protein sources for digestion
• How to build meals that truly support hormones
✨ Unsure if you’re getting enough — or the right type — of protein?
