In this episode of the Clinician's Corner, we dive into the very important but less-discussed topic of hormone health and fitness for women over 50. At the age of 56, Debra Atkinson - a renowned hormone-balancing fitness expert - discovered the importance of tailoring fitness to the hormonal and metabolic needs of women, especially in midlife.

You promote health. You promote fitness. And ultimately you do now or will want to promote your own products or services. But if you feel salesy, or spammy, it's going to show in your communications. Consider what's in it for them. Tell them. Tell them why you trust it and you have proof they trust you if they're on your email subscribers list! So they DO want to hear your recommendations! This follow-up to an affiliate promotions podcast gives you some very specific tips that work for me. And affiliate revenue is an amazing way to promote and earn even when you aren't launching! Successful affiliate promotions (where you share something you know, love, and trust will be a benefit your community will love) require just three things. 1. Commit to promoting your affiliate repeatedly on each platform you choose. Two minimum and three is even better, emails are MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than 1 email, and 1 social media post. People are BUSY. They don't see your posts the way you might imagine in your head! They may skip days of hopping into social media. (Lucky them!?) So.. you want to tap someone on the shoulder several times to get their attention. Use a new image or new Subject Line in your emails each time. In the body of your email, the first time you send you can get really detailed about why this is relevant : My friend and colleague, Debra Atkinson created this event to answer questions you have AND those you may not yet know to ask. She gathered 40 experts... not "influencers" flashing bare bellies, but the in-the-lab experts, the go-to speakers for industry events and education. And you can access it for free! In the body of your second email - a couple of days later you can refer to the first email: A few days ago I shared this with you and I know that exercise is an important reason you're here and plays a big part of your success. In the 3rd email (maybe the 2nd), I put it at the TOP of the email above the actual greeting and make it short: Real quick: I don't want you to miss this and know you're busy. I mentioned this FREE event for Women's Exercise Over 40, It's starting NOW... so CLICK HERE to get in. I'll be sharing some of the highlights I'm loving from it with you too! See you there! 2. Come back to the email about the affiliate product you send and later in the day. Resend it to unopens. This one is ridiculously easy ... and often OVERLOOKED. So if you're disappointed in the performance of your emails, no matter what you wanted (open rate, click-through, sales) ... you may make FAST improvements by being sure that your busy audience SEES the email. Remember they aren't sitting on their device waiting and hoping for an email from you! So resending brings it up from the buried inbox emails we all get. 3. Treat Social Media with respect when you Share affiliate promotions! Share and share again. Know your social media channels! On IG... share in stories and use the LINK so all someone has to do is CLICK. Be prepared with a link when someone DMs you and says, Where do I find that? AND use the link in your bio to go to multiple with a link tree or your custom page on the website where they get right to it. DO NOT put an ugly URL in your post copy. Get smart with Facebook too. Stories are hot, news, and clickable. Use them that way! Posts are good.. but buried if you don't nurture them by liking and commenting and sharing with your personal pages. Add to groups or link groups to the post. You can easily promote health and fitness and earn revenue without feeling salesy or spammy. If it's something you believe in, tell them about it with conviction! If it's not, reconsider sharing it. I've had plenty of products or people I once shared and no longer do for one reason or another it just stopped feeling right.

Stop those boring introductions and settle into this bio makeovers episode that's going to play like a masterclass. Your audience is screaming, get my attention! Wake me up from this bad dream of messages that are the same from everyone! There are trainers and coaches and podcasters that are pining for invites to speak on podcasts or appear in the news. When you get the chance, don't blow it with a wimpy introduction. If your host isn't excited to read it, re do it! If there is nothing to tell your listener that you are an expert, re do it! If you cringe when it's read, re do it! If there aren't at least 6 notable things someone learns about you in that introduction, re do it! If there isn't some unique, distinct description of you that no one else can insert their name into, If there isn't something in the bio that makes people sit up and smile, bio makeover coming up. Mistake #1: Providing information that is subjective. Andrea's programs are …….. And instead of …… do …………….. If I have to read that, it implies that I the host think it. Rarely have I got enough background to have that kind of an impression with a guest. If you're a bestselling author, or just an author. I can say that. If you have created a program intended for xyz based on principles of abc, I can say that too because it's fact. But if you have just soft information that sounds like opinion and the news wouldn't publish it, you have bio makeovers 101. Include Facts: Certifications Degrees Authored Books Appeared in magazines Awards Published in: (authored) Medium Frequent contributor to: Frequent speaker at: Have spoken at women's events (locally?

Building muscle after menopause is not only possible, but also necessary! Synopsis: Unless you've been a bodybuilder, or avid weightlifter and eating a high protein diet, and dialed both those up during perimenopause, chances are you have lost muscle tissue since your 30s. That means a loss of fat burning potential and a slower metabolism. The most powerful positive impact of muscle on your postmenopausal health is the ability it allows you to burn more calories at any activity around the clock. Another positive super power of muscle is its ability to control blood sugar levels. With more muscle, you would have better blood sugar control thanks to the muscle being a bigger bank to store sugar for energy later. Without it, you only have the liver, which can easily become “full” and overloaded, leaving blood sugar levels higher longer. During those times you're driving inflammation up and storing fat. Questions We Answer: Building Muscle After Menopause Takes Focus Without consciously paying attention to preserving muscle at least, and gaining muscle at best, you may have “exercised” but without measurable results. That brings me to something we have to first address… measuring. I'll link to three unique smart scales to choose from. I believe everyone should have one at home. Weight is inconclusive and can lead you to believe you're making positive change. In fact, weight loss that is a high percent of muscle is a detriment to your metabolism and ability to burn fat. To gain muscle postmenopausal (and better yet, during or before so you're simply adjusting your dose of exercise as you proceed through menopause) you have 5 ingredients. These 5 items are crucial and… it's like love, faith, and charity.. the greatest of these is… See if you can guess. 1) Lift weights 2) Eat protein 3) Take EAA 4) Sleep 5) Recovery between sets, workouts, stressors Lift Weights To muscular temporary fatigue Multiple sets Heavy is best, but if you're limited by conditions or joints, light and more reps More is not better. Hearing people say, I lift weights every day or 4 days a week, is not a good thing. In midlife and beyond the need for recovery ramps up as quickly as does the need for a stimulus that surpasses what younger you needed. Eat your ideal body weight in pounds in grams of protein a day. Dosed in at least 30 grams of protein each meal or snack Bookend your workouts and continue consciously boosting for 24 hours after Exercise fed If you're not getting adequate dietary protein, supplementing with EAA is a logical first next step. To reduce confusion on supplementation, BCAA and EAA are not the same. A select few amino acids are classified as BCAA. If you're supplementing because you're not consuming enough through food alone, you need all of the EAAs, not just BCAA. If you're of body builder status, eating protein around the clock, hitting your number with high quality protein, then supplementing with BCAA may be something you want to consider. The one amino acid that seems to always outweigh others for muscle gain is leucine. While you can get adequate leucine in meals (at least 2.5 ideal and at least 5g/day) if you're eating animal-based protein, it's not reasonable to expect you will with plant sources alone or even heavily reliant on plant sources. Sleep is queen of recovery and if you're not, your cortisol, testosterone, and growth hormone all suffer. These are a part of your team for muscle building. Cortisol acts to break down muscle. After a single night of sleep deprivation, your body is working against you. If you're a push hard through no matter how you feel woman…. It's likely worse. Chronic cortisol issues, whether high or too low are not the Goldilocks you need. Testosterone and Growth Hormone are both crucial hormones for muscle growth (or preservation). They're released in deepest cycles of sleep. So, you're woken up regularly by menopause, low blood sugar, an aging dog, teenagers, or a snoring partner? You've got to take steps to solve this one. Whether that's sleep apnea machine, a different bedroom, select nights when you can catch up on sleep or it's a focused menopause sleep plan, make it a priority. Recovery, or Rest, Occurs in multiple places: Between sets (even repetitions) Between workouts Between all stressors The Mental Game of Gaining Muscle vs Losing Weight Flipping 50 offers a 12-week strength training program built for women in menopause. Nowhere in the description of it does it promise weight loss. However, there usually is a change of body composition and of inches, even if not in weight. Yet occasionally a woman will say, because of decades of conditioning that exercise burns calories and the reason to do it is weight loss, will say, “I haven't lost any weight, even though I feel stronger and my clothes fit differently. A little disappointed.” I want to point out that this is both ridiculous, and not your fault. The positive changes are minimized and the power of a number on a scale giving false indication of fleeting success takes over. It will take time, perhaps a lifetime, if you let it and don't decide to change it. I have worked with clients who are stuck with the way they think about themselves and don't even choose to change it but can't understand by thinking of themselves the same way, they can never change their results. Your mind is the biggest asset or obstacle you have. Deciding to change it and work through that resistance is the heaviest and most important lifting you will EVER do. Your mind is the biggest asset or obstacle you have. Deciding to change it and work through that resistance is the heaviest and most important lifting you will EVER do. -Debra Atkinson, 38-year Women's Health Coach, Founder of Flipping 50® Will any of us die wishing we'd maintained a certain weight? Will we lie on our death bed with regrets about that and be glad for all the hours of deprivation and trying to diet and exercise into something we're not ever going to be happy achieving? I think not and I'll let you answer for yourself! What's Most Important for Building Muscle After Menopause? If you change just one thing? Start weight training. If you're weight training without a menopause-specific plan matched to your need, start. Researchers on muscle, longevity, protein, agree the importance of protein is high, however, the greatest, among resistance training, protein, and supplements is resistance training. (provided there is adequate recovery).
