The Over 50 Health & Wellness Podcast Muscles After Menopause (or Manopause): The Truth About Protein Over 50
Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders - it’s the secret weapon for men and women over 50 who want to burn fat, build muscle, and age with strength, confidence, and vitality.
In this episode, host Kevin English sits down with James Oliver, founder of Atlas, a clean, high-protein nutrition company on a mission to help people fuel their bodies with intention. Kevin shares why he made a rare exception to interview the CEO of a protein bar company - and why he’s been eating Atlas bars for years.
Together, they dive deep into the truth about protein: why most people over 50 are drastically under-eating it, how to close the gap without choking down dry chicken breast all day, and what to look for (and avoid) in protein bars and supplements.
🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why carbs are optional, but protein is essential - especially after 50
- How much protein you really need (spoiler: it’s way more than you think)
