You’re working out harder than ever—but the belly fat won’t budge, your energy’s inconsistent, and the mirror doesn’t reflect how you feel inside. Sound familiar? In this BiteSize episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Estima to unpack exactly what’s going on during perimenopause—and how to train smarter, not harder. We break down the biggest workout mistakes women make in their 40s, why HIIT can sometimes do more harm than good, and how building your upper body can completely reshape your figure and fire up your metabolism. Whether you’ve got PCOS, feel like your workouts aren’t working anymore, or just want to look and feel like YOU again—this episode is packed with science-backed solutions that actually work. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why Your Old Workouts Fail: Perimenopause shifts your hormonal landscape—meaning what worked before likely won’t now. The Belly Fat Mystery: Fat migrates to your midsection due to hormonal and metabolic changes, but it can be reversed. The Power of Upper Body Training: Shoulders and back are key for creating symmetry and visual balance—don’t skip them! The HIIT Mistake Most Women Make: Too much intensity (especially long HIIT classes) can backfire by raising cortisol and exhausting you. Temporary Keto for PCOS & Belly Fat: A short-term carb reduction can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce visceral fat—but it's not forever.

Today, I am thrilled to connect with my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Dr. Estima and I have similar audiences with many of the same concerns, so we decided to join up for a special episode where we can provide accurate answers to questions from the women in both our communities.  In our discussion, we dive into several topics we often get asked about on social media, including weight gain, insulin sensitivity, and how to identify where we are in terms of peak fertility years, perimenopause, or menopause. We discuss the significance of protein, looking at ways to increase our protein intake, the benefits of intermittent fasting, and when to consider doing that. We also explore how stress and hormones affect us in middle age, and we unpack some relevant research on fat loss and ways to fuel ourselves for exercise.  You have much to learn from today's insightful and empowering conversation with Dr. Stephanie Estima! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How the fear-driven content in wellness circles can cause anxiety instead of providing solutions Why previously effective diets may need to change during menopause Vilifying carbs and negative consequences if a keto diet or fasting is maintained long term How menopause impacts the gut microbiome Perimenopause and menopause are just natural stages of life and not indicators of decline. Strength training and why it's never too late to start Benefits of eating protein first in meals  Practical advice for managing health challenges during menopause Acute stress vs. chronic stress Will fasting intermittently before exercising burn more fat than fasting afterward?

About 60% of women in perimenopause report "not feeling like themselves". And it's more than just mood swings—it's about energy, memory, motivation, passion for life, intimacy, and so much more.  That's why in this week's powerful episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Dr. Kelly Casperson to dive into the often-overlooked role of hormones—especially testosterone—in women's health during perimenopause and beyond.

Angela is joined by Dr Stephanie Estima to discuss the challenges women face during perimenopause, particularly in their forties. They explore the concept of "Betty," a term that embodies women striving for self-actualisation and improvement in their lives. They also look into common issues such as body composition changes, sleep disturbances, and the stress of balancing aging parents and children, all while navigating hormonal shifts. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of being a "Betty" represents women striving for self-actualization and improvement in their lives, regardless of their current challenges. This community encourages individuals to seek guidance and support in their journey toward better health and well-being. Women in their 40s often face significant challenges, including changes in body composition, sleep disturbances, and the stress of balancing caregiving for aging parents and children. These factors can lead to feelings of overwhelm and decreased resilience. Building strong female friendships and social connections is crucial for emotional support during this transitional phase. Feeling seen, heard, and understood by others can help alleviate feelings of isolation and stress. Resistance training is essential for women, especially in their 40s, to combat body composition changes. Incorporating upper body workouts can enhance overall body symmetry and aesthetics. Additionally, a balanced approach to cardio, including low-intensity steady-state exercise and limited high-intensity interval training, is recommended. BEST MOMENTS "I think for me, it's someone who is striving to do better in her life or his life... ready and willing to learn and to figure it out, hopefully with my guidance and of course the community's guidance as well." "Women who are entering their 40s... find that your body composition might be changing a little bit... maybe you're putting on a little bit more fat that you don't necessarily want to be putting on."

Let's take a deep dive into what's causing weight gain and fatigue, especially as we transition into our forties, fifties, and beyond. If you're finding that what worked in your twenties and thirties just isn't cutting it anymore, you're not alone. I recently attended the Health Optimization Summit in London, where top experts like Mindy Peltz and Dr. Stephanie Estima shed light on the significant changes our bodies undergo in midlife. We're talking about hormonal shifts, thyroid downregulation, increased stressors, and even environmental toxins. Each of these plays a critical role in our ever-elusive weight loss journeys. In this episode of The Thyroid Fixer Podcast, I break down the essential first steps to tackling stubborn fat. Optimizing your thyroid is crucial because it's the master metabolic switch that affects everything from insulin regulation to detoxification. I dive into the specifics—like keeping your fasting insulin below six and understanding how substances like Berberine can help control your blood sugar levels. We'll also explore how sleep, hydration, and even your thoughts play into the complex puzzle of fat loss. Let's get into the nitty-gritty of it all and set you up for success in the second half of life. Ready to tap into your best, leaner, stronger self? This episode is your guide to making it happen.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Stephanie Estima, we discuss the importance of heading into menopause in the healthiest way possible. Muscle is often thought of as a negative thing for women as we were taught not to get bulky. However, it's a myth that needs to be totally left behind. It's very hard for women to build muscle and get bulky. But muscle is essential for hormonal balance and longevity.    We also dive into the science behind balanced hormones, and what steps you can take to make sure you're heading into menopause as a confident powerful woman, rather than take it on as if it's a disease. Menopause needs to be thought of as an evolution of your body, not a nightmare situation. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is essential for some women, and we guide you through how to talk with your doctor to get the best treatment possible.    Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating hormone health, talking to your doctor about what you specifically need, and how to use menopause as a growth opportunity, not a season of anxiety and hardship.     Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses all facets of health including nutrition, fitness, hormones, stress management, performance, recovery, longevity, health span, mental resilience, and energy production. Her passion is to assist you in making informed decisions about your health and to catapult you into the hero of your own life.   Dr. Stephanie has a special interest in exercise physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, and performance nutrition. She spent 19 years in private practice and is a best-selling author, international speaker, and mother.

(17:45) Hormonal changes can affect your ability to build lean muscle.  (22:43) The turnover rate of bone as we age changes under the influence of estrogen.  (26:30) You don't want too much estrogen- it can negatively affect ligaments and joints. You just want it balanced with testosterone. This is why joint issues are common in post-menopausal women. It increases the risk of injury.  (29:00) The importance of strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health for aging women. (30:00) Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great solution.  (36:00) Be so in tune with your body that you can tell when something is off, and be able to have data-filled conversations with your doctor. If you can't talk with your doctor about hormones, get a new doctor.  (40:10) Cognitive health - our ability to think clearly - and lack of sleep is affected by decreasing levels of hormones like progesterone.  (46:00) Stress management and its role in adrenal gland health. Nutrition and supplements can feed the brain! Your body is very clear about this - if you don't use it, you'll lose it.  (53:44) The lack of literature on common “health practices” today for women, like cold plunges and sauna. It needs to be synced with the time in your cycle.  (1:03:33) Minimum effective dose of exercise - strength training and cardio.  (1:11:25) How to find more from Dr. Stephanie Estima   Key Takeaways: Reframing the importance of lean muscle for women is essential for hormone health. Women in their 40s and 50s have grown up with the thin supermodel being ideal. The environment you grew up in can highly affect your perception of hitting the gym and building muscle. However, for the vast majority of women, it is very hard to build muscle and get “bulky.” The bulky myth and fear of lifting heavy just need to go away and die because it's very inaccurate for women.  You can build muscle at any age, at any stage in life - peri, menopausal, and post-menopause. However, it is much easier to build muscle when you have a larger concentration of estrogen and testosterone (peri-menopausal). Women have somewhere between 10-20x more testosterone than estrogen. It's the most abundant sex hormone in the body. Lifting weights close to failure drives up testosterone for 10-48 hours post-workout. When you stimulate the muscular system, you also stimulate bone density. Muscles and bones are sisters! They grow at the same time. Osteoporosis is common in older women going through menopause, so growing muscle and bone density pre-menopause is essential.  Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a fantastic option for those who aren't heading into menopause with the correct amount of muscle and balanced hormones. Lifestyle interventions will help 60-70% of women who experience menopause symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. The 30-40% of women who don't get relief from these symptoms can highly benefit from HRT. It's important to do bloodwork around age 30 so that you have a baseline hormone level you know you need to maintain. It's best to keep track of it twice a year. Be so in tune with your body that you can tell when something is off, and be able to have data-filled conversations with your doctor. If you can't talk with your doctor about hormones, get a new doctor.  You can be a powerful, clear-thinking, confident woman by keeping your hormones, specifically testosterone, balanced (and high!). It affects our ability to read the room, analyze risk, and make decisions throughout menopause if we don't focus on hormone health. It can cause anxiety and brain fog. Stress management is also highly important during this time. Adrenals take over the job of what the ovaries once did, so they have to produce all hormones after menopause. Stress management helps negate the negative side effects of an overactive adrenal gland.  The minimum effective dose of exercise is 3 times a week of strength training. Three is good, but four is better. But cardiovascular health for menopausal women is very important as well, as heart disease is the number one killer of women, not breast cancer. Women are very well adapted for zone 2 oxidative phosphorylation for burning fat. More focus needs to be put on explosive movements like burpees, HITT, and sprints because we lose speed and type 2 muscle fiber. We can lose up to 8% per year if we're not training type 2 muscle fibers. Explosive training also helps build muscle, rather than deteriorate muscle like steady state cardio does.

Can losing muscle mass be more dangerous than gaining body fat?  All of us are on a mission to rid our bodies of excess fat… but how often have you considered the importance of gaining more muscle instead? I invited Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on the podcast today to dive into muscle-centric medicine and to educate you on gaining muscle to support your entire body system.  Gaining and maintaining muscle mass can be the key to a healthy aging process. Contracting skeletal muscle can be wildly beneficial for your hormones, immune response, blood sugar levels, and more.  And it doesn't have to be a challenge! Join Dr. Lyon and me as we unlock the tools you need to optimize your nutrition and exercise regimen. So you can feel good in your body, and even start to reverse your biological age.  Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine®. Dr. Lyon is a nationally recognized speaker and media contributor specializing in brain and thyroid health, lean body mass support, and longevity. Her clinical practice serves leaders, innovators, and executives in their field, and she services her patients worldwide.  IN THIS EPISODE About Dr. Lyon and her journey into functional medicine  Tips for maintaining and gaining muscle mass  Metabolic and hormonal shifts throughout aging  Nutrition and training to build a skeletal muscle reserve  Effective protein and carbohydrate intake for results  Exercise through strength and resistance training to gain muscle  Indication for GLPs and possible side effects of taking them  All about Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's New Book: Forever Strong  QUOTES “By getting the foundation of nutrition right, you're grabbing the lowest hanging fruit and moving forward with a plan that can be executed and a plan that can and has been shown to protect skeletal muscle mass as you age.” “A large majority of PCOS is a skeletal muscle issue. First, there are skeletal muscle defects and there are some really pivotal studies that looked at skeletal muscle as the primary deficit.” “You can leverage contracting skeletal muscle to mitigate significant inflammation and immune responses.” “You literally can contract skeletal muscle, which makes up 40% of the body to release, through exercise, release myokines, release glutamine, move glucose out of the bloodstream. By the way, exercising skeletal muscle does not require insulin. And one bout of exercise will improve insulin sensitivity anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. It's incredible.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Forever Strong on Dr. Lyon's Website  Order Forever Strong on Amazon  The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show Podcast Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's YouTube Channel Follow Dr. Lyon on socials: Instagram & Facebook  Visit nutrisense.io/mariza and use my code MARIZA for $30 off & 1 month of free dietitian support.

I'm on hormones.' I am so mindful of the things that I do every day.” “If you look at your patients' labs, it didn't matter how active they were, how fit they were, how well they ate– they all ended up with this low-grade diabetes. It's just a fact of aging.” “I just want you to advocate for yourself…and really try to seek out the people who can help support you with all of the tools.

And you can optimize your health to reverse your inner age.  We'll dive deep into her cutting-edge research on women's physiology and how we can adopt crucial lifestyle strategies so we don't have to become a statistic– because we're so much more than that.

So join Dr. Sims and me to learn how to thrive as women. She'll give you the tools you need to exercise for strength and enhance your metabolic health– at any age.  Plus, if you love all the knowledge she shares and are interested in learning even more, I highly recommend her book Next Level.

As women, most of us remember exactly the moment we got our first period. It may have been a moment of embarrassment, shame, or humiliation.  But it really shouldn't be this way. Our bodies are amazing, and we need to appreciate all that they do for us. So many young girls first learn about menstruation with such a negative connotation. Rather, they should be encouraged to understand the incredible health component of their menstrual cycles.  That's why I have Holly here today, to guide us as mothers and grandmothers of young girls starting their periods. So we can help them feel empowered and knowledgeable about their bodies.  Holly has developed a new app– TEENA, that's designed for young girls to help track their cycles in a very positive way. All while educating them about how their cycles function from a health standpoint as a vital sign.  The app TEENA can be paired with the TEENA device, which is a basal body temperature-based device. This is the first time there's ever been a device designed for tweens and teens to track their basal body temperature as a sign of which cycle phase they are in.  This not only encourages health education and body positivity, but it also helps young girls gain agency over their bodies. It gives them the tools to set them up for success as they navigate junior high and high school, and even into college. Empowerment comes from knowing and owning their bodies at every stage. If you have a daughter or granddaughter at home coming up on her tween years, you'll benefit so much from learning all of Holly's tips about helping these young girls navigate what can be such a stressful time.  In this podcast, Holly shares more about how we can have the hard conversations, and how we can put reproductive health in a positive light.  You won't want to miss all the details Holly shares about the importance of demystifying periods and how we can best help young girls. The resources she offers can lead to reduced anxiety and increased self-awareness, helping girls navigate their teen years with confidence.  So join us in this enlightening discussion and discover how menstrual cycle education can be one of the best things to happen to the young girls in your life.  Help support your daughters, children, or anyone in their journey to becoming their most confident and empowered selves! HOLLY GRIGG-SPALL Holly is the author of “Sweetening the Pill”, the inspiration for the documentary “The Business of Birth Control”-- on which she is a producer. Her book was released in 2013, celebrating its 10th anniversary later this year.  Holly recently launched TEENA, a free education-forward app supporting health and menstrual cycle awareness for tweens and teens. She's on a mission for teenage girls to feel empowered about their cycles so they feel more harmony with their bodies and reproductive systems.  IN THIS EPISODE Holly's story on menstrual health education for teens  The importance of educating teen girls on menstruation  Existing misconceptions and negative views on menstruation The impact of nutrition on the menstrual cycle  How our cycle affects our energy levels and mood  The connection between the brain and the ovaries  Empowerment through body positivity and self-esteem  Menstruation as a fifth vital sign of health  How tracking menstrual cycles can identify underlying issues early on TEENA– the basal body temperature tracking app  RESOURCES MENTIONED MyTEENA.com *Use Discount code: ESSENTIALLY for an additional discount Download the TEENA app  | WearTEENA Instagram | WearTEENA TikTok RELATED EPISODES  #203: Why Your Menstrual Cycle Is A Key Indicator Of Your Health #244: How To Eat And Train According To Your Menstrual Cycle With Dr. Stephanie Estima #146: How To Own Each Phase Of Your Menstrual Cycle #220: Master Your Menstrual Cycle And Optimize Your Fertility With Lisa Hedrickson-Jack #286: What You Need To Know About The Relationship Between Blood Sugar Levels And Your Menstrual Cycle
