Being 60 - I have read recently that whey protein or protein in general becomes harder to absorb the older we are. Is this really the case? And fermented whey protein is better as the molecule are twice as small making it much easier to absorb the older you are!?!? Am I reading sales gimmicks? Or is there some fact in there?

Most leaders think fat loss means eating less or doing more cardio. But for high performers, the real problem isn’t food. It’s cortisol. Chronic stress keeps your body in survival mode, holding fat around your stomach like armour. Think of cortisol like a bad accountant. It keeps transferring your energy into the wrong account, belly fat, instead of muscle or recovery. Research in Psychoneuroendocrinology found that prolonged stress can increase deep belly fat by up to 20% in high-pressure professionals. That’s not a diet issue. That’s a hormonal imbalance. 💡 Thrive365 Tip: Spend 15 minutes every morning calming your nervous system before you start the day: - 5 minutes of deep nasal breathing (box breathing works well). - 10 minutes of light mobility or walking to lower cortisol and boost blood flow. That’s your daily reset. It keeps your stress low, digestion stable, and fat storage under control, even when you’re living out of a suitcase. Two supplements to consider are adaptogens and magnesium glycinate. If you would like to know what I recommend to my clients, comment 'SUPPS' below Q. What’s your current go-to routine to manage stress?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can recommend any omega-3 supplements. I have heard a lot of brands are not actually providing the right ingredients, eg just filling it out with ‘stuff’ that doesn’t bring any benefits to the body, false advertising in labels, too ‘cheap’. I have seen theonia and they look promising, but always wary of what can be found online. Really keen to start taking as have heard the benefits are very good. Thank you for any support.

Most people don’t fail because the plan didn’t work. They fail because the plan wasn’t built to last. You drop 10 pounds in 6 weeks. Then life happens. Old habits creep back in. And before you know it… you’re back where you started. Sound familiar? It’s not motivation you’re missing. It’s a foundation. Inside Thrive365, we focus on 3 rules that build results that last: 1. Build habits, not restrictions If your plan cuts out your favourite foods or your social life, it’s a ticking time bomb. 2. Train for performance, not punishment You don’t need to burn calories. You need to build strength. Muscle is what keeps the fat off for good. 3. Eat more protein, every meal Protein supports recovery. Curbs cravings. Keeps you full. It’s the anchor of every great diet. Forget the short-term fix. Build a system that survives Monday mornings, client dinners, and school runs. That’s sustainable fat loss. 💡 Thrive365 Tip Pick one habit you could still stick to six months from now. That’s your starting point. Not the extreme version of yourself.
