Are you getting enough protein?
So many women I work with aren’t — and it’s often the missing piece when it comes to better energy, hormone balance, and overall health.
Protein isn’t just about muscles — it plays a huge role in:
✔️ Balancing blood sugar
✔️ Supporting hormone and brain chemical production
✔️ Helping your thyroid function well
✔️ Clearing out excess oestrogen via the liver
✔️ Strengthening skin, hair and nails
✔️ Supporting metabolism (especially through perimenopause and menopause)
Here’s the thing — your body can’t store protein like it does carbs or fat. That means it needs a steady supply throughout the day, not just once at dinner.
🍳 A protein-rich breakfast (especially within 2 hours of waking) can help regulate blood sugar and support your stress hormones.
�🌙 Protein in the evening helps with overnight repair, detoxification and gut support.
When you’re not eating enough protein, you might notice:
➖ Cravings
➖ Tiredness
➖ Hair thinning
➖ Mood swings or restless sleep
➖ Hormonal symptoms
➖ Weight gain, especially around the middle
Small shifts can make a big difference and starting with protein is one of the simplest and most powerful changes you can make 💛
Eating enough protein and learning how to incorporate this into everyday life is something I teach all of my clients either 1:1, on my happy hormones programme or at my events.
Don’t forget to save this for later and share to help others.
