Episode Synopsis

I'm on a mission to bust the myths about red meat that have been circulating for decades. Contrary to what you've been told, lean grass-fed beef might be exactly what you need for aging powerfully, especially after 40. As a recovering vegan, I've discovered firsthand how quality red meat provides essential nutrients that combat muscle loss (starting at 30, we lose 3-8% per decade!), boost energy, and support bone health. The secret lies in the branched-chain amino acids, iron, B12, and zinc found abundantly in grass-fed beef—nutrients that are critical for combating fatigue, maintaining cognitive function, and supporting hormonal balance during perimenopause and beyond.
What you'll learn:

The crucial difference between processed meats and grass-fed, grass-finished beef

How red meat helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in women 40+

The unique nutrients in quality beef that support energy, bone health, and metabolism

Why grass-fed beef contains beneficial CLA that supports fat loss and smaller waistlines

How to properly incorporate red meat into your diet for optimal results

Simple ways to maximize iron absorption from meat by combining with vitamin C-rich foods

Tips for choosing the best cuts and preparation methods to maximize nutritional benefits
