🎙️ Episode Show Notes
In this episode, Ginny McArthur dives into protein facts for mature women.
If you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel soft, weak, tired, or stuck with your weight, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on inside your body — and why protein intake matters.
Ginny breaks down the science in a simple, practical way, explaining how protein supports muscle, metabolism, structure, and long-term health — not just weight loss.
In this episode, Ginny covers:
What the human body is actually made of.
Why protein makes up a significant portion of your physical structure, including muscle, enzymes, transport proteins, and more.
The link between low protein and a “soft” body composition.
How being under-proteined contributes to loss of muscle tone, strength, and metabolic health.
Why midlife women often aren’t eating enough protein.
Cultural dieting habits, fear of calories, and outdated nutrition advice keep women under-fuelled.
Protein and ageing well .
How adequate protein supports strength, mobility, independence, and resilience as we age. Why weight loss without protein backfires.
Losing weight at the expense of muscle leads to a slower metabolism, poorer body composition, and weight regain.

Want to age with strength.
Have been told to “just eat less” but feel worse doing so.
Key takeaway: Midlife weight loss and health are not about eating less — they’re about eating smarter.
