116. Protein After 40: How Much Do You Really Need & Are You Forgetting Carbs
Are you eating enough protein after 40? Learn why protein becomes more important in midlife, how much you actually need, and why carbs are not the enemy.

Perimenopause Simplified is the no-BS podcast for women 40+ who are doing everything right — and still feel off. Hosted by Claudia Petrilli, Functional Health & Nutrition Coach and creator of The Perimenopause Method, this show breaks down what’s really happening with your hormones, metabolism, and body during perimenopause — without the noise or oversimplified advice.
Each week, Claudia covers real perimenopause symptoms, tools like hormone therapy (HRT) and GLP-1s, building muscle and body composition in midlife, sleep and recovery, and the nutrition and lifestyle shifts that actually work for this phase of life — not the ones that worked in your 20s. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works for perimenopause and midlife health.
