"Plant Protein's Role in Promoting Healthy Aging for Women"

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon emphasizes the importance of increasing protein intake as people age, particularly in their 40s and beyond, to combat midlife muscle crisis and aging difficulties. She recommends aiming for about 30 grams of protein per meal and 90 grams a day or more for optimal health, which is significantly more than the USDA's recommended daily amount. As the body becomes less efficient at utilizing protein with age, consuming more protein becomes critical to prevent aging-related issues such as weakness and forgetfulness.
