545. Conquering the Menopause Middle: Effective Fitness Routines for Women Over 40

She's back....my friend Debra Atkinson, menopause fitness expert and strength training authority, to talk about what actually works when it comes to building muscle, leaning out, and staying strong through midlife and beyond. If you’ve been stuck in the cardio hamster wheel wondering why your body isn’t changing, this is your wake up call. We’re breaking down exactly why resistance training isn’t optional anymore, it’s essential for fat loss, metabolism, bone health and confidence as your hormones shift. This isn’t about working harder. It’s about working smarter, and getting real about the science behind muscle, aging, and results that actually last. We also dive into the deeper stuff: how GLP-1 meds, HRT, and protein intake play into all of it, and why women need to stop avoiding the weight room like it’s some bro-only zone. Whether you’re a total newbie, feeling stuck, or just need a push to start lifting heavier, this episode clears the confusion and gives you the strategy you’ve been missing. No more fluff. No more guesswork. Just the truth about how to get stronger, leaner, and feel like a total powerhouse in the body you’re in. Grab the interval training guide below and let’s get to work.
