We do need to be consuming more protein because we tend to become more what's called anabolic resistant, which means the muscle just doesn't like to grow as much as you were saying in menopause and beyond as it does when we are in our fertile years and our reproductive years. So, protein, definitely like to consume maybe more protein than what, certainly more protein than what the RDA.

I typically will usually consume something like one gram per pound of body weight, but honestly, it's often north of that. So, you know, I'm about a buck 40. So I probably am consuming like, you know, 150 to 160 grams. on a daily basis. Not that everybody needs to do that, but that's just what I find works really well for me. So protein, I really like. I'm also a big believer in carbohydrates.

I think that carbohydrates... And I have... I will say in the sort of... spirit of truth and honesty and transparency, I have also contributed to this because I ran for many years and I still believe in the ketogenic diet. I ran sort of a female centric ketogenic diet for women who are trying to reverse insulin insensitivity.

We know that this is phenomenally successful, but one of the problems with the ketogenic diet, particularly for women, if they're following it for too long, is actually they become more insulin insensitive over time and we start to see thyroid issues if they're not consuming enough carbohydrates. But they develop this, what would you call it, like dysmorphia, like this fear of carbohydrates.

Like, oh, it's because I stopped eating carbohydrates, I lost all this weight, I'm never going to eat carbohydrates again. It's like, wrong, you were consuming a low carbohydrate diet Because you are metabolically unhealthy, you are no longer that. So now we can change your diet because your body now is going to respond to the stimulus a little bit differently.

But I find that a lot of women are so petrified of carbohydrates and they do not consume enough carbohydrates. So I like to tell people like fruit is your friend, like fruit is not going to make you fat. I have women that are so scared of just consuming fruit. It's ridiculous. So fruit, I like to actually consume fruit almost at every meal, truthfully.

And then some of the good carbohydrates that are like kind of a mainstay in the house are like always vegetables. I always prep them because I never feel like whenever I'm hungry, I already want the food ready for me. Like I always prep the broccolis already pre-cut, you know, so I'm ready to go. I'm ready to snack on that stuff.
