Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD: How Women Should Structure Macros in Their Meals

Women are told to fast, cut carbs, eat high protein, avoid seed oils, and track macros, but most of that advice ignores female physiology.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD, certified functional medicine practitioner and nutrition scientist. We walk through the Female Longevity Nutrition Protocol she created, including circadian timing, macro ranges by life stage, and how to stop getting whiplash from internet nutrition trends.

Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women’s health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan. Inside, you’ll get access to exclusive protocols, live Q&As, the latest female longevity science, and a private, supportive community of like-minded women.
