Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

217: How Fitness Impacts Your Menopause Symptoms


Listen Later

Are you struggling with hot flashes, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, or low energy? What if I told you that the solution isn’t about pushing harder, but training smarter? In this episode, I’m diving into how the right kind of exercise, especially strength training can help ease menopause symptoms, boost energy, and keep you feeling strong and capable as you age. And the best part? You don’t need long, grueling workouts to see results.  

For years, we were told that the key to fitness was spending hours sweating it out at the gym. But in midlife, that approach doesn’t just stop working, it actually works against us. I’ll break down why traditional exercise methods often fail women over 40 and how stress from overtraining can make symptoms worse. Instead, I’ll share a more effective strategy: short, strength-based workouts that build muscle, protect bone density, and improve metabolism, all in just 20 minutes a day.  

I also get personal in this episode, sharing how I transitioned from long gym sessions to quick, efficient at-home workouts after an injury. I’ll explain how movement impacts everything from blood sugar balance to mental health and offer simple ways to incorporate strength training into your routine without the overwhelmed. Plus, I’m giving away a FREE “20-minute workout plan” to help you get started right away.  

If you’re ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and find a fitness routine that truly supports your body in midlife, this episode is a must-listen. Grab your free workout plan and start training smarter, not harder.
