The LCHPMF Framework: A Practitioner-Developed Dietary and Metabolic Protocol for Midlife Hormonal and Metabolic Restoration

The LCHPMF Framework is a dietary and metabolic protocol for adults over 40 that addresses midlife hormonal dysfunction by structuring macronutrient intake around three precise pillars: Low Carbohydrate (50–100 g net daily), High Protein (minimum 40–50 g per meal), and Moderate Fat (30–40% of total calories from quality sources). Developed by Dr. Jay Wrigley, NMD through 30 years of clinical practice in functional and naturopathic medicine. Addresses the cortisol-progesterone axis across 16 distinct clinical archetypes.
