The hormonal importance of Protein.

Kia Ora Beautiful People,

As I mentioned before, every month I want to spotlight an Arbonne product that has truly made a home in my daily routine. This month, we need to talk about their vegan protein powder.

Let’s get honest for a moment. As a movement and nutrition coach, people often assume I have my diet 100% perfectly figured out every single day. But here is the truth: being a vegetarian for years while living a highly active lifestyle means hitting my daily protein targets is a constant challenge. I know exactly how overwhelming it feels to try and fuel your body correctly without feeling heavy or restricted, and I see this exact same struggle every day in my 1:1 consultations.

Protein is acting as the foundation for your muscles, skin, hormones, and cellular repair. As we navigate life and the shifts of perimenopause and menopause, hitting your daily protein target becomes more important than ever. During these phases, fluctuating estrogen levels naturally cause a decline in muscle mass and bone density, while slowing down our metabolism. Consuming enough high-quality protein every single day is your best strategy to protect that lean muscle, support bone strength, and keep your energy levels beautifully stable. It also plays a vital role in balancing hormones, keeping you feeling full and satisfied, and maintaining that radiant skin glow from the inside out. Ensuring you get an adequate daily intake is not only for GYM people; it is about giving your changing body the strength, vitality, and resilience it deserves to thrive.

When you start giving your body the right amount of protein it actually needs, the shift in how you feel throughout the day is incredible. First, you will experience a whole new level of true satiety; protein naturally regulates your hunger hormones, leaving you feeling genuinely full and satisfied after meals. This means that constant urge to snack or mindless afternoon grazing simply fades away, making it easy to ditch the sugar cravings. Instead of the typical energy roller coaster, your body gains a stable, long-term source of vitality that keeps your brain sharp and your physical energy steady from morning to night. You will suddenly find yourself with the vibrant stamina needed to power through your workouts, move and play and breeze through your busy schedule without that exhausting late-day slump.

Many people don’t realize how much protein they actually need. While a sedentary person needs a minimum of 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight, if you are living a dynamic, moving lifestyle, your target jumps to a minimum of 1.5g of protein per kilogram! Trying to bridge that gap can be tough. I have tried so many protein powders in the past, but most of them left me bloated, dealing with frustrating digestive issues, or annoyed by formulas full of artificial sweeteners and empty fillers, even the vegan ones.

That completely changed when I discovered Arbonne’s plant-based protein. It is a wonderfully clean blend that gives you absolutely NO bloating. Each delicious chocolate or vanilla shake delivers 20 grams of easy-to-digest protein derived from peas, cranberries, and rice. What really sets it apart is that it’s fortified with a powerful blend of 20 essential vitamins and minerals, including methylated folate, along with healthy lipids(for absorption). This means it doesn’t just support your muscle recovery after a workout or a yoga class; it actively fuels your daily energy and even keeps your skin glowing from the inside out.

It is a vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, Arbonne also test their product for Heavy Metal, made without high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors and flavors. It is an easy, beneficial choice for your body that adapts to your day. You can shake it up quickly with water or plant milk on busy mornings, or blend it into a rich smoothie bowl. You don’t have to guess your nutrition or settle for supplements that make you feel unwell anymore.
