Most women leave their doctor's appointments with more questions than answers. What should I eat? What tests matter? Am I deficient in something?
Here's what the research actually says about women's nutrition in this decade:
🦴 Calcium & Vitamin D
90% of peak bone mass is built by age 30. After that? Maintenance only. Osteoporosis prevention starts NOW, not at menopause.
🩸 Iron
Menstruating women lose iron monthly, yet 1 in 3 have undetected low iron stores. Symptoms? Fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, things we blame on "being busy."
💪 Protein
Muscle mass naturally declines from age 30. Higher protein intake preserves muscle, boosts metabolism, and balances blood sugar. Aim for 20-25g per meal.
🌱 Fiber & Gut Health
25g minimum daily (most get 15g). Gut health affects mood, immunity, hormones, and even anxiety. Probiotics + prebiotics = the dream team.
