151. Menopause & Fitness: Cutting Through the Confusion


Listen Later

Confused about how to maintain or build muscle during perimenopause and menopause? You’re not alone. With so many conflicting messages from experts, social media influencers, and research articles, it's hard to know what approach actually works.

 

In this episode, I dive into what's actually happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause, particularly how declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone affect your muscle mass, bone density, and overall health. I break down the biology in simple terms so you can understand why these changes matter and what you can do about them.

 

Listen in this week as I explore evidence-based approaches to exercise during this life stage, including strength training, cardio, HIIT, and SIT.
