In order for midlife women and beyond to make the initial decision to implement a new healthy habit, they need to understand what it means and the why behind it. Many women that I work with or have spoken to do one of two things when they hear new information:
1. Freeze and do nothing due to overwhelm
2. Make changes based on something they heard or were told, but don’t understand why, and then lose their motivation to sustain it.
It’s up to you to educate yourself with trusted resources. It’s confusing out there, especially around the topic of nutrition, specifically protein, and women navigating menopause.
