Understanding Bloating - Causes, Solutions, and Prevention | Ep. 193

In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down why protein is the most overlooked—and most important—macronutrient for women. If you’ve been eating low-calorie and staying consistent but still not seeing results, protein may be the missing piece. Nikkiey explains why protein is a women’s health issue—not a bodybuilding trend—and how it impacts hormones, metabolism, cravings, energy, sleep, body composition, and aging. She breaks down why under-eating protein leads to stalled fat loss, muscle loss, and constant hunger, while debunking common protein myths. You’ll also learn how much protein women actually need, why it becomes non-negotiable after 35, and simple ways to increase your intake without overwhelm.
