Want to feel stronger in perimenopause? Prioritising protein can help

  • Elaine De Silva, a 48-year-old from South Perth, recommends prioritising protein intake during perimenopause to maintain strength and muscle mass.
  • Her advice follows evidence that declining oestrogen during perimenopause reduces bone density and lean tissue, increasing daily protein needs beyond standard guidelines.
  • She explains that consuming both animal and plant protein helps promote satiety and might prevent typical perimenopausal weight gain linked to overeating low-protein foods.
  • National guidelines recommend 0.6 grams of protein per kilogram daily for women aged 19-70, but perimenopausal women may require about 2 to 2.3 grams per kilogram, according to health experts and studies.
  • This strategy suggests that adequate protein intake can counteract muscle loss and weight gain risks during perimenopause, supporting overall health when combined with medical guidance if needed.
