FAQ — Reader-centered answers

1) What exactly counts as a 30–35 g protein breakfast?

Examples: 2 eggs + 200 g Greek yogurt + berries; tofu scramble + edamame; protein smoothie with milk/yogurt + fruit + chia. Aim for 30–35 g protein + color + some fiber.

2) How long until I feel a difference?

Sleep and morning energy often shift within 1–2 weeks when light timing + protein + Zone 2 are consistent. Body composition changes usually take 4–12 weeks.

3) What if hot flashes wake me up?

Keep the room cool (≈17–20 °C), use breathable bedding, limit late alcohol, and dim evening light. Track “evening heat” as a KPI and see Part 4 for the cool-night playbook.

4) Can I do this if I’m on HRT or thyroid meds?

Yes—foundations still help. Keep medication timing consistent and review specifics with your clinician (see Part 7 for doctor-talk checklists).

5) I miss days—do I start over?

No reset to zero. Restart today with tiny actions. Use the streak tiles and Monday auto-reset to keep momentum without perfectionism.
