Why does weight feel harder to manage during menopause—and where did all your muscle go? In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most frustrating (and misunderstood) parts of midlife: how hormonal shifts affect your metabolism, fat storage, and strength. Spoiler: it’s not just about eating less or doing more cardio.

You’ll learn:

  • What really changes in your body during menopause
  • Why muscle is your metabolism’s best friend
  • The truth behind “inevitable” weight gain
  • How insulin resistance impacts energy, cravings, and belly fat
  • What actually works: protein, strength training, and smarter habits—not perfection

We’ll bust the biggest myths and give you simple, doable next steps to reclaim your strength and feel more like you again.

💪 Challenge of the week: Try one strength workout and hit your protein goal—then let us know how it goes!

🎧 Tune in and take back control of your body, one smart step at a time.
