When women think about hormones, they usually think about things like stress, supplements, sleep, periods or cortisol.
But one of the biggest things that often gets overlooked?
Protein.
Your body needs protein for so much more than just gym goals or muscle building.
Protein plays a major role in:
• Hormone production
• Skin structure + elasticity
• Hair + nail health
• Energy levels
• Blood sugar balance
• Muscle support
• Recovery
• Feeling fuller for longer
• Healthy ageing
• Overall wellness
And the reality is… many women are simply not eating enough of it consistently.
Why Protein Matters For Hormones
Hormones rely on amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to function properly.
Your body uses protein to help support the production and function of important hormones involved in:
• metabolism
• stress response
• appetite regulation
• muscle maintenance
• blood sugar balance
• reproductive health
When protein intake stays too low for too long, women can sometimes start noticing things like:
• energy crashes
• constant hunger or cravings
• poor recovery
• struggling to build or maintain muscle
• hair shedding
• weaker nails
• dull or tired-looking skin
• feeling “flat” or run down
This becomes even more important during busy seasons of life, high stress periods, winter months, postpartum recovery or when trying to support healthy ageing.
Most Women Are Probably Undereating Protein
A lot of women are unknowingly only eating around 40–60g of protein per day.
But depending on body weight, activity levels and goals, many women may actually benefit from closer to 80–110g+ daily.
General protein guidelines for women:
Sedentary women:
Around 0.8g protein per kg of body weight
Active women or women wanting better wellness support:
Around 1.2–1.6g per kg
Women strength training regularly or trying to preserve muscle while losing weight:
Around 1.6–2.2g per kg
For example:
A woman weighing 70kg may need roughly:
• ~56g for basic minimum needs
• ~85–110g+ for more optimal support
Of course, every woman is different, but the bigger point is this:
Protein matters more than most women realise.
The Gut, Skin + Hormone Connection
Your gut health, skin and hormones are all closely connected.
When digestion feels off, stress is high or nutrition is inconsistent, the skin is often one of the first places it shows up.
Especially during winter.
Dry skin, dullness, fatigue, low energy and feeling generally depleted can all become more noticeable this time of year.
That’s why supporting your body consistently — not perfectly — matters.
