232. Menopause talk for men


Listen Later

In this episode, Coach JK McLeod is talking to the men. He breaks down what menopause actually is, how it affects the women in your life, and why you need to understand it.


Not because you need to “fix” anything, but because being aware of what’s really happening can help you show up better as a partner, coach, or friend.


Listen in to real talk from a coach who works with women 40+ every day.


JK explains the four stages of menopause (pre, peri, meno, and post), walks through the hormonal changes behind the symptoms, and shares why the advice of “just train harder” or “eat cleaner” might be missing the point.


You’ll learn:

  • What estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually do

  • Why energy, sleep, libido, and body comp changes are not laziness or moodiness

  • What to stop saying—and what to start doing instead

  • How to support (not sabotage) your partner’s health and fitness goals


  • If you’ve ever said “I don’t know what’s going on with her lately,” start here.
