What happens?

And you, you've done a lot of this because you do what we call explant surgery, which is different than an implant, right?

So taking out the breast implant, what happens after women do that?

Do they get better?

And you don't think the capsule remaining still has silicone in it that's going to cause issues?

As we get older, especially once we hit our 40s and beyond, our bodies actually become less efficient at using protein.

And in functional medicine, we sometimes call this anabolic resistance.

It basically means the same amount of protein that worked for you at 25 might not support your muscles the same way at age 50.

And that matters because muscle is one of the most important predictors of healthy aging.

It supports metabolism balance, strength, and overall resilience as we get older.

Of course, I'm a huge believer in getting protein from whole nutrient-dense foods.

That's always the foundation.

But many people still fall short of the essential amino acids their bodies need to support muscle maintenance and recovery, especially busy moms juggling careers, families, and everything else.

Are you wondering what essential amino acids are?

They are the specific components of protein your body can't make itself, which means they must come from your diet and are important for supporting muscle maintenance, recovery, and normal metabolic function.

That's why I like Perfect Amino.

It provides a balanced blend of the essential amino acids your body needs to support muscle protein synthesis, especially when paired with resistance training and a healthy diet.

I think of it a bit like a multivitamin for your protein intake.

A simple way to help fill in nutritional gaps when life gets busy or your protein intake isn't ideal.

If you're focused on healthy aging, strength, and maintaining muscle as you get older, this can be a really helpful addition.
