If you're a midlife woman trying to get straight answers about protein, this episode of The Body Pod is required listening. Host Hailey Babcock sits down with nutrition scientist Mikki Williden, PhD, and nutrition coach Brandon DaCruz to tackle the online protein controversy head-on: is there really a "ceiling" of 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or does that number change entirely once a midlife woman is strength training and eating in a calorie deficit?

In this bonus episode, board-certified urologist and menopause expert Dr. Kelly Casperson joins host Hailey Babcock to answer your most pressing questions about perimenopause, post-menopause, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Whether you've been told you can't take hormones, you're confused about estrogen patches vs. pills, or you're wondering why your belly fat, brain fog, and joint pain suddenly showed up — this episode is for you.
