Part 3 in our protein series is here! Today we are talking about the scientific relationship between humans, protein, and feeling full. Whether you are looking for midlife weight loss, muscle gain, or just trying to be your happiest, healthiest self...this one is for you! TAKEAWAYS Humans will continue eating until their amino acid needs are met, which can lead to overeating if protein is low. Ultra-processed foods are often low in protein, making it easier to overconsume calories. Prioritizing protein in meals can help regulate hunger and prevent cravings. Science shows that our innate signaling system for hunger is based on amino acids, not calories. Trying one meal with increased protein can significantly reduce hunger and improve energy levels.

Today is the 1st of our 5-episode PROTEIN SERIES! You asked, so you receive. This month, we are diving into all things protein. Starting with our topic today: why we need to care about protein in the first place. It is not uncommon when folks hear the word “protein,” especially in relation to fitness, to picture a beyond yolked dude, veins exploding, shoveling raw chicken breast into his grizzly maw before getting back under the barbell to bench press the weight of a car… And it is true, protein is absolutely essential for muscle growth and repair…but the benefit of protein goes far beyond changing the shape of our body and supporting our workouts…in fact, it affects and supports just about every system in our body. Tired of trying to figure it out on your own? Brandi Sheehan (Kinsey's go to health coach) is running the next round of her 30-Day Metabolic Reset starting Monday, September 21st.

One of the number one struggles I hear from women starting a workout routine is that they struggle with consistency. Maybe they are successful for the first 30, 60, 90 days, but then something happens, and it feels like they're back to zero. Sound familiar? You are not alone. Today I break down real like case studies from women at Fit Over 40 who have broken through the first 30, 90, 120 days and are still going strong and feeling results. Through life at its life-iest. Sickness. Vacation. Even Pregnancy. How do they do it? That's exactly what we talk about today, and spoiler...it isn't by hitting the gym every day and beating themselves up about missing a workout. A consistent approach over a lifetime is far more achievable with a gentle, realistic approach...and touch of accountability. 00:00 Introduction and personal update 02:52 The impact of perfectionism on fitness routines 04:22 Retention and consistency in group fitness 06:08 Understanding motivation and accountability 07:31 Adjusting workouts for energy and stress levels 09:28 The importance of manageable workout frequency 11:26 Creating accountability through scheduling and community 13:22 The behavior of showing up and identity shift 15:19 Reframing setbacks and missed days 17:15 The cumulative effect of small health habits 18:08 Closing thoughts and encouragement
