Mandy: Hi doctor Cabral. My question is about muscle definition. I’ve been lifting for about 10 years, and can definitely feel that I’ve gained a lot of muscle, but I can’t see them. There’s not much definition. I would love to hear your thoughts about what could be some of the reasons why. To give you some background: I am a 47 year old female. I lift 5 days/week and for cardio I walk 15-20K steps/day. I am not overweight, eat a healthy diet of about 2000 calories/day. My hormones and thyroid are a bit lower, but I’ve been getting treatment for this. Thanks so much for your answer!
