Protein & Fiber: The Power Combo for Women’s Health with Jackie Reale
Most women in midlife know that protein matters. But more than that—they’re feeling it.
Suddenly, the muscle tone isn’t quite what it used to be, body composition is shifting, and the mystery of “what is happening to my body?!” starts to surface.
So yes—lifting heavy things and eating protein is the message being broadcast loud and clear. And it's true!
But here’s what I’ve noticed in many of my clients:
With all the focus on protein grams and post-workout shakes, fiber is getting completely left behind.
And friends, that’s a mistake. A big one.
When I tell women this, the reaction is usually something like:
“Wait—now I have to focus on another thing?!”
I get it. Midlife can feel like a never-ending nutrition scavenger hunt. But here’s the good news:
If you focus on protein and fiber, you’ll likely hit the rest of your nutrient needs along the way. Think of these as your non-negotiables. Nail these two, and you’re well on your way to feeling strong, steady, and well-fed.
Let’s Recap Why Protein Matters So Much in Midlife:
Muscle Loss Prevention – Say goodbye to sarcopenia (aka the slow leak of muscle with age).
Metabolic Health & Fat Loss – Muscle is your metabolism’s best friend.
Blood Sugar Stability – No more hangry crashes.
Hormone & Immune Support – Protein builds the building blocks (literally).
And Why Fiber Is the Unsung Hero:
Gut Health = Hormone Health – Your gut clears excess estrogen.
Blood Sugar & Insulin Regulation – Slows down sugar spikes (and mood swings).
Heart Health – Midlife = higher cardiovascular risk. Fiber helps.
Natural Detoxification – Fiber binds toxins and gets them OUT.
Satiety & Appetite Regulation – Keeps you full and your cravings quiet.
