Protein Deficiency: Why You’re Still Feeling Off, Despite Eating Healthy

Carina Greweling Episode 62

#62 In this episode, we explore why many women, even those eating clean and lean and a hormone-conscious diet, still experience hidden protein deficiencies — and how this affects their hormones, mood, metabolism, skin, hair, and menstrual cycles.

You’ll learn:

  • The key signs and symptoms of protein deficiency
  • Why protein is essential for hormonal balance, detox, thyroid function, stress resilience, and sleep
  • How much protein you really need (especially during stress or perimenopause)
  • The best protein sources (plant-based and animal-based) and how to improve digestion if protein feels hard to absorb
  • How your protein needs shift across your menstrual cycle — and how to align your meals for better energy, mood, and balance

If you want to understand how protein shapes nearly every aspect of your vitality, this episode is for you. Tune in and give your body what it truly needs!
