EP 20 | Strength Training During Perimenopause & Menopause Is Your Secret Weapon - Here's Why

What if you're unknowingly losing muscle mass every single year and that's the real reason you feel exhausted all the time?

What if the cardio routine that used to work in your 30s is actually making your menopause symptoms WORSE?

Could you be accidentally burning 500 fewer calories per day just because you're not strength training - and is this why the scale keeps creeping up?

The Game-Changing Truth: Every pound of muscle you lose means your body burns 50 fewer calories per day just existing. Lose 10 pounds of muscle over a year? That's 500 fewer calories burned daily - meaning you'd have to eat 500 fewer calories just to maintain the same weight. No wonder women feel like they're gaining weight eating the same way they always have!
