Menopause changes the game because shifts in estrogen can impact insulin sensitivity, inflammation, muscle, and how your body stores fat. That is why I want women focusing on the foundations first: protein, resistance training, sleep, stress management, and daily movement.
I am also a big believer in having a conversation with a menopause-trained doctor about hormones because when hormones are optimized, it can become easier to build muscle, recover better, and improve body composition.
And if you feel stuck, do not white-knuckle it. Sometimes one smart adjustment changes everything. Comment BODY RECOMP and I will send you my freebie for tracking!

I really feel for you ladies. My mom is one of those 1% of freaks who, even after giving birth four times, had her last period at 62 and never had one symptom one time for even one second or experience that everybody reports that would indicate any of those Life changes. She laughs and says she’s still waiting to go through it. I don’t know where that leaves her hormonally, like if she should be taking bioidentical hormones/HRT or what
And I’m really wondering what it means for me, 37 no nothing yet.
