Listen up ladies…and men who care (and you definitely should) about women's health.

Get ready to be totally impressed by Dr. Alyssa Olenick as she drops some serious truths in this episode.

Alyssa has a lot to say when it comes to fitness and the menopausal body, most importantly (and she reminds us of this often), your body is not BROKEN!!

There are a ton of scary narratives out there about what's happening to your body and what's causing it, but you need to know that it's likely common, normal, and, most of all, that your feelings about it are valid.

This one might come as a shock, though. There is no sexy, revolutionary health and fitness guide to getting through menopause. It’s all about those foundational bricks that I am always reminding you of (eating a balanced diet and moving your body ring a bell?)

Speaking of sexy and revolutionary, what’s up with the trending idea of Cycle Syncing? Alyssa has some opinions on why its so appealing and what’s truly necessary for accommodating hormonal shifts.

“You’ve always had permission to take a break”....that is another truth bomb from Alyssa and she is so right! Ladies lean on ideas like cycle syncing because it validates their need to take it easy sometimes. Guess what? You always can and always should take it easy when you need to!!!

Alyssa shares about this idea, whether its pushing yourself to hard, needing a break and not taking it, or underfeeding your body. She explains how to navigate finding balance to reach your goals and support your health and fitness.

And that’s just it…fitness is not a look, as Alyssa says; it’s a skill that requires attention, care, and support. That’s going to look different on everyone!
 
What’s Inside:

  • Is there a sexy fix-all for the menopausal woman?
  • Why is cycle syncing trending, and does it really work?
  • Help me! I broke my metabolism!!
  • Fitness—it’s not a look.
