If you've ever doubted your ability to make muscle mass and strength gains after menopause, this episode is for you. It's not too late to gain strength and lean muscle mass can be gained at any age—even after 85.   Based on a 2024 Study on Resistance Training in Older Adults by Int. Journal of Sports Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism, here's what happened and the results: Participants:  17 adults aged 65–75. 12 adults aged 85+. Program:  Duration: 12 weeks, 3x per week Structure: Warm-up  4 lower body sets 3 upper body exercises (2 sets each) Stretching Results: Quadriceps strength increased in all participants 65–75 group: 1–18%  85+ group: 6–21%  1RM leg extension increased in all participants 65–75 group: 38% ± 20%  85+ group: 46% ± 14%  Improvements were seen in lean mass, strength and functional activities like chair stands, gait speed, timed up-and-go.   Defining Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause Exercise intensity is based on decreasing repetitions to muscular fatigue.  Exercise volume is based on the number of sets.   Considerations for Exercise Volume in Women in Menopause Volume = sets x reps x weight or total weekly workload. Start small (1–2 sets, 2x per week if inactive). Build to 3x only once consistent. Balance recovery: not just alternating workout/rest days, but also factoring in life stress. Menopausal women may need 48–72 hours between resistance sessions, per muscle group.   For women post menopause; increasing the number of days per week to reach greater exercise volume can be problematic because of the need for balance with recovery days. We don't mean 1 day work, 1 day rest. It can mean 1 day of high intensity work and 2 or 3 days light or moderate exercise for another type for recovery.   Start Your Strength Gains After Menopause The beginning phases of exercise should last longer for a woman starting in her 60s or 70s. Muscle, ligaments and tendons collectively are not as resilient at 60 as they were at 20. Since most early improvements are due to neural adaptations and heavier weights don't accelerate that, progress at a pace so you know you've exercised muscles but aren't sore or uncomfortable. You're in this for life. There's time.   The adaptive response to resistance training is preserved even in males and females over 85.   Protein & Resistance Training Two drivers of muscle protein synthesis: Resistance Training Adequate Protein. For metabolic health: ~100g/day (for 160 lb woman). For optimal fitness: closer to 160g/day. Protein recommendation for a 160lb adult is 60 grams of protein day. Only 46% of older adults get that.   5-Step Protein & Resistance Training Process: Track your current protein intake. Compare with recommendations based on age, weight, activity. Identify gaps without judgment. Close the gap gradually. Set short-term goals, especially starting with breakfast protein.   Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause are Dependent On… Relative Strength Training Power decreased significantly after the age of 50 years and was negatively and strongly associated with mobility limitations.   Mobility & Longevity Connection Strength must be paired with mobility to prevent limitations. Key focus areas: ankles, hips, upper back. Loss of mobility = harder to regain later. More… much more on mobility in upcoming posts.

Whether you're post-menopausal or just looking to tighten up your own nutrition, this one's packed with actionable insight.

As we've explored a lot on the podcast with the women and folks who have shared their own menopause stories, it can be a disorientating, deeply challenging, and very messy process. And today we're hearing from a woman who is generously sharing right from the messy middle of her menopause journey. Ruby May is a coach, facilitator and community weaver, passionate about midwifing a culture grounded in the wisdom of the body. She is also a Red School Menstruality Leadership Programme graduate and is the community catalyst of the Hive graduate community at Red School. Most recently she has been co-creating Sabia, a platform with a vision of menopause as a transformative life stage.This conversation was born from my listening partnership with Ruby, where she shared a voice note which powerfully illuminated the many challenges of her menopause initiatory process, including the multiple emotional descents she's taken, the rock bottom places she has hit, (particularly when she has had very little sleep) and how menopause has shone a light on all the parts of her that still want to be rescued, and validated.We explore:The importance of having allies who mirror your goodness back to you, even in your darkest times, without having to sugarcoat anything or find the silver lining. How her menopause doula aka fairy godmother, Kate Codrington (a fellow Menstruality Leadership Programme graduate) is following the pulse of her journey alongside her, and how her ‘go-to-crone' - a rabble-rousing rebellious healer - is offering her acute support in the moment. How Ruby is navigating her own journey around whether to get HRT, and what do we do when we've created a life that we no longer have capacity to live out?   ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

This is a requested follow up to our most recent episode. Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) prescribing practices have evolved over the last few decades guided by the changing understanding of the treatment's risks and benefits. We know that dose, route of administration, and choice of agent (estradiol versus a more synthetic option, and micronized progesterone over other progestins.) alter the risk benefit ratio. Compared to natural progesterone, synthetic progestins have 10-100- fold greater activity. Synthetic MPA is vasoconstrictive while natural progesterone and drospirenone cause vasodilation and lower blood pressure. Micronized progesterone is bioidentical to the hormone made endogenously and has efficient oral absorption. Progestogens come in oral and transdermal forms, and it can also be given vaginally. Is there data that micronized progesterone is safer for the breast for a menopausal hormone therapy? This podcast topic recommendation comes from one of our podcast family members.

Dr. Betty reveals the shocking truth: that 5-10% metabolism decrease everyone talks about? It's NOT a life sentence. Those debilitating symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings?

In this episode of the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast, host Shiphrah Israel sits down with Satori Shakoor - a master storyteller, story director, and coach whose gift for weaving words was born from generations of Black women in the Jim Crow South. Raised listening to her Alabama and Mississippi elders transform everyday events into epic tales, Satori learned to speak the language of storytelling with the power to teach, warn, entertain, and inspire.Satori brings that same storytelling magic to a topic too often shrouded in silence: menopause. From her acclaimed film Confessions of a Menopausal Femme Fatale to her advocacy with the Michigan Women's Commission, she shares her deeply personal journey through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause—illuminating the emotional, physical, and societal challenges along the way.This conversation explores the gaps in medical training that leave women unsupported, and the transformative self-discovery that can emerge in this life stage. With humor, heart, and unflinching honesty, Satori reframes menopause not as an ending, but as an opening to deeper self-awareness and freedom.

For the longest time, endurance athletes avoided the weight room, afraid unwanted muscles would weigh them down, while strength athletes all but kicked cardio to the curb. Now we know that no matter if you're running an ultra or competing in a CrossFit competition, the right blend of cardio and strength is the secret sauce for success–especially once you hit midlife and menopause. This week, renowned exercise physiologist Dr. Alyssa Olenick dives in on how our hormones impact our muscles, metabolism, and general physiology, and how the right blend of hybrid training can help you stay strong, fit, healthy, and injury free during and beyond the menopause transition.This episode originally dropped on January 8, 2025. Dr. Alyssa Olenick holds a PhD in exercise physiology and is a certified sports nutritionist and CrossFit Level 2 Trainer. Alyssa completed her doctoral training in exercise and human metabolism, sex differences, and menstrual cycle physiology. She also completed a postdoctoral research fellow investigating the areas of menopause and metabolism. As a coach she specializes in the areas of endurance, strength, and hybrid training. She runs her online business ‘Doc Lyss Fitness' and training programs ‘The Lyss Method'. She is also a strength athlete, ultra-marathon runner, and all-around fitness lover who is passionate about educating people on science-based fitness to get them into the gyms and on the roads/trails — or often, doing both at the same time!

The Gut Revolution: What the Latest Science Tells Us The gut microbiome continues to be a hot topic for researchers worldwide. The newest research from 2025 is rewriting the playbook on how we understand health, disease, and everything in between. In this episode, I'm unpacking 8 fascinating new studies on the microbiome, covering everything from teenage gut health and menopause metabolism to fermented foods, the role of fiber, oral-gut connections, and even pediatric hypertension. Whether you're supporting hormone balance, detox, metabolism, or immune health, these studies will give you a fresh perspective and a better understanding of how to implement gut health protocols in practice. Here's what we'll cover: ✅ How C-section delivery and screen time alter teenage microbiome ✅ The fetal microbiome during gestation, thanks to mom ✅ Menopausal microbiota and what it means for mood + metabolism ✅ Green coffee extract for gut-induced obesity (yep, it's real) ✅ Oral health, periodontitis, and the role of gut health ✅ The correlation between hypertension in kids and an altered microbiome  ✅ Surprising ‘information' (albeit incorrect) about fermented foods, antibiotics, and the gut

I've got something extra special for you—Serene and Pearl, the powerhouse sister duo behind the Trim Healthy Mama movement, are joining me to get real about navigating hormones, aging, and conquering that stubborn menopausal midsection. We're diving into their brand new book, "Trim Healthy Wisdom," and trust me, this isn't just another diet guide—it's a full-on roadmap (with humor and heart!) for thriving in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. They open up about their personal battles with weight gain, fatigue, and libido woes, sharing how tweaking their approach to bioidentical hormones and fueling (not starving) their bodies completely transformed their lives. We unpack the truth about protein, muscle loss, and why your "bat wings" might actually be a sign you need more, not less, on your plate. Plus, we break down the magic of incretin hormones (hello, GLP-1, PYY, and CCK) for natural appetite and weight control—no prescription needed! The Trim Healthy approach to eating and moving gets a super-smart update, including clever hacks like using psyllium husk and baobab for appetite management, and the real story behind hormone replacement and GLP-1 meds (hint: it's not just about quick fixes). Whether you're stuck with your weight, confused about what fuels actually work, or just want to reclaim your badass vitality, this episode promises practical strategies and fresh wisdom to empower your journey.
