I'm on a mission to bust the myths about red meat that have been circulating for decades. Contrary to what you've been told, lean grass-fed beef might be exactly what you need for aging powerfully, especially after 40. As a recovering vegan, I've discovered firsthand how quality red meat provides essential nutrients that combat muscle loss (starting at 30, we lose 3-8% per decade!), boost energy, and support bone health. The secret lies in the branched-chain amino acids, iron, B12, and zinc found abundantly in grass-fed beef—nutrients that are critical for combating fatigue, maintaining cognitive function, and supporting hormonal balance during perimenopause and beyond.
What you'll learn:
- The crucial difference between processed meats and grass-fed, grass-finished beef
- How red meat helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in women 40+
- The unique nutrients in quality beef that support energy, bone health, and metabolism
- Why grass-fed beef contains beneficial CLA that supports fat loss and smaller waistlines
- How to properly incorporate red meat into your diet for optimal results
- Simple ways to maximize iron absorption from meat by combining with vitamin C-rich foods
- Tips for choosing the best cuts and preparation methods to maximize nutritional benefits
