Liver Health's Role in Menopausal Muscle Growth
- Roles: detox, bile production, hormone regulation, protein metabolism.
- Chemicals and toxins overload the liver, impairing fat and protein processing.
Protein Intake Challenges & Solutions
- Protein intake alone isn’t enough without liver support.
- Women need more protein with age, not less - 1g protein per pound of body weight.
- Wild animal protein, like bison and venison, are most nutrient dense.
- Warning against mold and hidden toxins in common protein powders.
Essential Amino Acid Supplements
- Key ingredients: HMB, Synactive, OKG, TMG - aimed at absorption and recovery
- Benefits: prevent muscle breakdown, enhance gut health, better protein absorption.
Key Takeaways for Muscle Growth in Menopause:
- Liver function is foundational for hormone balance, energy, and muscle development during and after menopause.
- Most women are under-consuming quality protein and not absorbing it effectively due to liver or gut issues.
- Supplements can be powerful, but they must be clean, effective, and well-formulated—many aren't.
- Shift your mindset: It's not about shrinking your body but about strengthening it with muscle.
- Bloat, brain fog, fatigue, and poor recovery may all link back to impaired liver detox and insufficient amino acids.
- Whole, wild animal proteins are superior due to nutrient density and bioavailability.
