Coach Isaiah.

Why Most Women Don’t Change… And How 2026 Can Be the Year You Finally Do.

In this powerful end-of-year episode, Isaiah reveals the real reasons most women stay stuck in the same patterns year after year... especially during perimenopause and menopause. This isn’t about motivation, willpower, or trying harder. It’s about understanding the hormonal, emotional, and metabolic roadblocks that make fat loss feel impossible after 40.

Isaiah breaks down.. Why most women try to change from a place of fear, not empowerment How chronic stress and cortisol silently stall fat loss. The biggest January mistakes women repeat every single year. Why eating less and training more backfires for midlife women. What successful clients do differently (hint: they fuel their bodies, not starve them). The 5 shifts every woman must make to finally create lasting change in 2026. How identity, structure, and consistency matter more than perfection

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “everything right” but nothing changes, this episode will hit home. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for making 2026 the year you finally transform your health, hormones, and metabolism.

And for women ready to go all-in, Isaiah opens 2–3 spots for personalized coaching to start the new year strong :)

Start 2026 with intention, power, and the right plan!

In this episode, Isaiah breaks down why perfection is the biggest killer of progress during menopause.. and why messy consistency is the approach that actually creates results. You’ll learn how your changing hormones respond to repetition, not intensity… why your 70–80% days matter more than you think… and how to finally stop the exhausting cycle of “restarting on Monday.”

This is your permission to drop perfection, trust imperfect action, and rebuild your routine in a way your menopausal body will thrive on. It’s time to stay in the game!! even when it’s messy.

Lets do this.

In this episode of The Menopause Muscle Podcast, coach and hormone specialist Isaiah Bawek explains what really happens when estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol shift during menopause and why your metabolism, sleep, and recovery all change with it. You’ll learn how to fuel your body for this phase of life, stabilize hormones naturally, and rebuild muscle and energy without burnout. This is your science-based blueprint for thriving through menopause not just surviving it! :)

Are stress hormones secretly blocking your results? In this episode, Isaiah Bawek unpacks the hidden role cortisol plays in menopause — and why “doing more” often backfires when your body is already in survival mode.

You’ll learn:

• How cortisol really works (and why it’s not the enemy).
• The ways menopause makes you more sensitive to stress.
• The signs cortisol is running your life — from belly fat to broken sleep.
• Practical strategies to calm cortisol through training, nutrition, and recovery.

If you’ve been eating clean, working out, and still not seeing progress, this episode will help you reset, recharge, and finally get your body working with you instead of against you.

Building muscle during menopause isn’t optional — it’s essential. In this episode, Isaiah breaks down why strength training is the most powerful tool women have to boost metabolism, balance hormones, protect bone health, and reshape their bodies. You’ll learn what’s really happening to muscle during midlife, how to train effectively (without wasting time on fluff workouts), and how to fuel your body with the right nutrition for lasting results.

Whether your goal is to “tone up,” slim down, or simply feel stronger and more energized, this episode gives you the exact roadmap to build muscle and thrive in menopause.

Enjoy!

In this episode of the Menopause Muscle Podcast, Isaiah Bawek breaks down one of the most overlooked hormones in women’s health: testosterone.

Testosterone isn’t just for men — it plays a huge role in women’s metabolism, muscle, energy, and confidence. When levels drop in perimenopause and menopause, fat loss becomes harder, motivation fades, and brain fog sets in.

You’ll learn:

• The symptoms of low testosterone in women
• How testosterone impacts muscle, metabolism, and fat loss
• Why levels decline with age and stress
• The root causes that make it worse
• Natural strategies to support testosterone through training, nutrition, and lifestyle

If you’ve been working hard but feel like your body is fighting against you, this episode will give you clarity and practical steps forward.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are being hyped as miracle fixes for weight loss. But in menopause? They’re not the solution — they’re the problem.

In this episode, Isaiah Bawek breaks down why GLP-1 medications backfire for women in midlife, leading to muscle loss, a slower metabolism, and stubborn belly fat that doesn’t budge. You’ll learn the hidden costs of relying on these shots, what actually works for fat loss in menopause, and how to rebuild your foundation of muscle, metabolism, and hormones — for results that last.

If you’re tired of starving on 1200 calories and ready for a smarter plan, this one’s for you.

You’ve cut calories, skipped meals, and tried to ‘eat light’… yet the scale keeps creeping up. In menopause, eating less doesn’t equal fat loss — it actually triggers the opposite.

In this episode, I break down the 5 reasons why undereating causes weight gain during menopause: slowed thyroid, spiked cortisol, blood sugar crashes, muscle loss, and fat preservation mode.

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to flip the script: fuel your body with protein, fiber, balanced meals, and strength training so your metabolism finally works with you, not against you.

Press play and find out why starving yourself is keeping you stuck — and how fueling smarter is the real key to menopause fat loss.

Most women treat fat loss like a year-round diet — always cutting, always grinding, always chasing the next pound. But your body was never designed to live in fat loss mode forever.

In this episode, I introduce you to the 3 seasons of long-term fat loss: Push, Pull, and Transition. You’ll learn why staying in ‘Push’ too long backfires, how the ‘Pull’ season actually restores your metabolism and hormones, and why the ‘Transition’ season is the secret to keeping your results for good.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in an endless diet cycle, this framework will finally give you the clarity — and the permission — to phase your fat loss in a way that’s sustainable, hormone-friendly, and built for midlife.”
