Midlife isn’t a diet. It’s a strategy. Dr. Christine Boev (PhD, RN, CPT) shares a women-specific plan for perimenopause and menopause: lift heavy to protect muscle and bones, prioritize protein, use creatine/collagen/whey intelligently, and talk with your provider about whether HRT fits you. We discuss why “cardio isn’t king,” how GLP-1s can accelerate muscle loss, why the scale is misleading, and better ways to measure progress (hello, DEXA).
