Dr. Hannah Cabré, a postdoctoral fellow at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, dives into the hormonal shifts women face during perimenopause. She explains how decreasing estrogen affects protein metabolism and leads to muscle loss and belly fat. Discover the importance of protein intake—1.2 to 1.6 g/kg—to maintain muscle and why Mediterranean diets support health in midlife. Dr. Cabré also emphasizes the role of creatine for mood and cognition, solidifying strategies to enhance women's health during this transition.
