🔥 Struggling with belly fat during perimenopause or menopause?
One missing piece might be leucine — the amino acid that helps switch on muscle protein synthesis (MPS).
💪 Why it matters:
• Triggers muscle repair & growth
• Helps preserve lean muscle as hormones shift
• Supports metabolism (hello, stubborn belly fat)
• Especially important for women 40+
✨ Aim for ~2–3g leucine per meal
(from quality protein or amino supplements)
