Protein Power: Combating Muscle Loss and Insulin Resistance During Menopause
In this episode of "Nutrition Your Way," host Cindi Stickle, a certified menopause coach and nutrition expert, dives into the crucial role of protein for women during and after menopause.
Key Points:
1. Importance of Protein: - Essential for maintaining muscle mass and improving insulin sensitivity during menopause - Helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) and insulin resistance
2. Protein Recommendations: - Aim for 0.8 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight daily - Example: A 150-pound woman should target 120-150 grams of protein per day
3. Personalized Approach: - Macro needs vary based on individual factors (age, activity level, health conditions) - Importance of working with a nutrition coach for personalized recommendations
4. Protein Timing: - Spread protein intake throughout the day for optimal muscle maintenance - Sample daily protein distribution shared
5. Protein Sources: - High-quality sources include chicken, tuna, salmon, eggs, and protein shakes - Importance of finding sustainable protein sources that align with personal preferences
6. Exercise Connection: - Combine increased protein intake with resistance training for best results - Aim for at least 2-3 strength training sessions per week
7. Benefits Beyond Muscle: - Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels - Can aid in weight management during menopause
Remember: There's no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. The key is finding a sustainable way to meet your protein needs that aligns with your tastes, lifestyle, and overall health goals.
