This week we have the wonderful Dr. Andrea Gri, a naturopathic doctor, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and past personal trainer. She is passionate about helping women navigate their hormones, lose weight, and feel like that better version of themselves again.

We focused this episode on body composition, weight loss, and building muscle for women over 40, but even if you are under 40, this information is still very relevant to your health and your future health as well. In this episode we focused  on:

-The importance of building muscle and maintaining muscle, especially for those over the age of 40 

-How to get started in the gym with lifting weights

-How much protein you actually need  plus the best time of day to get your protein in (and the idea of protein resistance)

-Sustainable weight loss strategies for those specifically in perimenopause that focus on adding rather than eliminating

-Body composition scans, supplements… and much more!
