The Func Lab Truth Bomb
At The Func Lab, we want every woman to understand: protein won’t make you bulky — it’ll make you strong, lean, and hormonally balanced. Here’s the truth.
Ah, the classic myth: “If I eat protein, I’ll get bulky.”
Here’s the truth: Women don’t have the testosterone levels to “bulk up” like men. We have naturally low occurring levels of testosterone in most cases. Instead, protein helps tone, strengthen, and define your body, while supporting hormones, hair health, and bone density.
Not so fun fact: Women lose 1% of their muscle mass every year after the age of 30! A very common reason for problems like arthritis around the menopausal age.
When women eat enough protein:
- They burn more fat while preserving lean mass
- Feel fuller, longer (bye-bye cravings)
- Recover faster from workouts
- Experience fewer hormonal crashes
Think of protein as your beauty + strength food. If anything, most women are under-eating protein — and over-relying on carbs. Flip the script!
