Summary
This study investigates whether eating two servings of Greek yogurt daily—either whole milk or skimmed—can improve muscle protein synthesis, blood sugar control, and thinking skills in post-menopausal women who are overweight or have obesity. Participants will follow a standardized diet with one type of yogurt for a set period. The goal is to see if this common food can offer health benefits during and after menopause.
