This podcast tackles a common struggle faced by women who are working hard in the gym but aren't seeing the results they want, especially during perimenopause and menopause. The speaker highlights how hormonal shifts, like decreasing estrogen and increasing cortisol, can hinder muscle growth and promote muscle loss. They point out three major pitfalls: not consuming enough calories, not implementing proper resistance training with progressive overload, and lacking adequate protein in the diet. By focusing on these areas—ensuring enough calorie intake for muscle development, practicing effective strength training with sufficient recovery, and increasing protein intake—women can enhance their body composition and achieve a healthier physique. Additionally, listeners can take a free metabolism quiz and sign up for consultation calls to better understand their unique needs.
