Did you know that improper pre and post workout nutrition in menopause can be the reason you aren’t seeing results? It SUCKS to be busting your butt in the gym and realize that something as simple as a snack is why you aren’t seeing results!

Shocking I know!

In this episode I covered:

- Why we need to tailor nutrition in perimenopause and menopause

- Why you need a pre workout snack (and when and what to eat)

- Why you need a post workout snack (and when and what to eat)

- How fasting can hold you back

- Different types of protein powders

I also have a guide we created that goes over what to eat and when for menopause workout nutrition.

Just message me on Facebook or Instagram and I would be more than happy to send that over!
