Proteína para mujeres: por qué siempre tienes antojos de dulce y estás cansada | Salud hormonal

Download my free guide on protein and neurotransmitters, where I talk about tryptophan, serotonin, dopamine... and how to balance them through diet to take care of our emotional health: https://martaleon.com/proteina/ In this episode, we talk about protein for women from a different perspective. Not as a fad. Not as a diet. But as the biochemical foundation that supports your hormones, your energy, and your emotional balance. Because protein doesn't just build muscle. It also participates in the production of: ✅ Estrogen and progesterone ✅ Thyroid hormone ✅ Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine ✅ The endometrium in each menstrual cycle ✅ The intestinal barrier and your gut microbiota If you experience constant cravings for sweets, fatigue after eating, brain fog, or intense premenstrual syndrome… it may not be a lack of willpower. It may be a deficiency in amino acids. In this first part of the series on protein, you'll discover: 01:33 – Why women have learned to eat less protein than they need 03:21 – How protein influences your menstrual cycle 08:50 – Its relationship to your mood 12:21 – Why it's key for your gut microbiota and estrobolome 07:20 – The myth of protein and the kidneys In the next episode, we'll talk about action: How much protein a woman needs depending on her hormonal stage (cycle, pregnancy, and perimenopause). ✨ Related Episodes: 🎧 Hormonal Self-Care:    • Autocuidado hormonal: Pequeños cambios que...   🎧 Your Gut Has More Influence on Your Hormones Than You Think:    • Tu intestino decide más sobre tus hormonas...   👩‍⚕️ ABOUT ME: I'm Marta León, a chemical engineer, naturopath, psychoneuroimmunologist, and integrative dietitian specializing in nutrition and women's hormonal health.
