Tip: Lift heavy. Then eat protein within 30 minutes. Why? For women—especially in perimenopause—this combo signals your body to build lean muscle, burn fat, and balance blood sugar. Quick Reminder: Muscle is your metabolism. And your metabolism is your messenger. When you fuel it right, everything shifts—energy, mood, hormones, and confidence. Pro Tip: Try 25–30g of protein right after your workout (e.g., collagen shake, eggs & turkey, Greek yogurt + protein powder). LTKOver40 LTKStyleTip LTKActive
