Peanut Butter Isn't Protein! How to hit protein goals without going over your calories

Not all “high protein” products are created equal — and in today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the sneaky marketing that’s making you overshoot calories, carbs, and fats while still falling short on your protein goals.

I’ll walk you through my simple formula for spotting truly high-protein foods, share my latest Costco finds (the good, the bad, and the downright egregious), and give you my go-to lean protein sources that actually move the needle for fat loss and muscle building in menopause.

If you’ve ever wondered why hitting your protein goal still leaves you stalled on the scale, this episode will show you exactly what to look for so you can fuel your body without the macro sabotage.

If your mornings start with checking emails, scrolling social media, and jumping into everyone else’s demands, you’re setting yourself up for stress and overwhelm before the day even begins. In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I’m sharing how learning to fill your cup first completely transformed my clarity, productivity, and sense of peace.

You’ll learn:

• Why reactive mornings keep you scattered and stressed
• My simple “fill your cup first” routine for energy and focus
• How to plan your day for clarity and productivity
• The mindset shift to finally avoid overwhelm in midlife

When you take care of yourself first, everything else in your life flows better. A full cup means more energy, more patience, and more freedom to show up as the best version of YOU.

Your challenge: Send me a DM or email and tell me the #1 thing you do to fill your cup first. Let’s inspire each other to start our days with intention!

In this episode, I share a recent TikTok live session that covers a lot of ground, including personal updates, my current book project on fitness for women in their fifties, and some entertaining anecdotes about my recent experiences with hot yoga and rollerblading.

I also discuss my approach to fitness and nutrition, focusing on macro tracking and the importance of adapting our lifestyle to accommodate the changes that come with menopause.

I touch on my journey from being a cardio enthusiast to finding a better balance with weight lifting and proper nutrition. Additionally, there's information about the impact of stress on thyroid health, my experience with hormone replacement therapy, and strategies for effective weight management during and after menopause. Finally, I mention an upcoming masterclass on simplifying macros and invite listeners to join my Facebook group and engage with my content on various platforms.
