Dietary Intent is Key in Midlife
Women in midlife often experience changes in body composition, prompting them to consider dietary adjustments. The misconception that dieting can be as simple as less is more can negatively impact health, particularly due to potential thyroid damage from inadequate nutrition, especially protein. As hormonal shifts occur, women need to be more intentional with their dietary choices, moving away from the indulgences of their younger years. Understanding the effects of aging and associated hormonal changes, such as shifts in gut microbiome and estradiol receptors, is crucial for effective metabolism and weight management in this life stage.
