As women transition into perimenopause, a phase that typically begins in their 30s or 40s leading up to menopause, their bodies undergo significant hormonal changes.

Experts recommend peri/menopausal women consume about 1g/lb of ideal body weight of protein per day, or about 30-40g of protein per meal.
