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.

On today's episode of Empowered in Health, we talk fitness in perimenopause and the changes to consider when it comes to training and training well. Gone are the days of going all out all the time, hitting it hard in a fasted state and forgetting to listen to our bodies. Learning to rest and get intentional with the "HOW" to training needs to be the main focus as our health evolves over time. From looking at pace, rest, range of motion, lifting heavier and listening to your body - there are some crucial necessities to evolve into as we age as women. As someone who grew up a female athlete, there's been quite a bit I've had to learn and unlearn over time. I pray this episode offers you some valuable insight into things to think through and consider as you continuing along your fitness and inside out wellness journey through perimenopause and beyond.
