Welcome to my first solo AMA episode in quite some time!

I recently submitted the second round of edits for my book. That excited me and inspired me to reach out on social media and invite questions from my listeners and community.

In my conversation today, I dive into weight loss resistance and reverse dieting, and I also share what I have been doing over the past year to build muscle.

Join me for a transparent and candid conversation, interwoven with questions from listeners and social media followers, where I answer many of the questions that matter most to you.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

Why the death of my father inspired me to back away from fasting and focus on strength training
Changing my mindset to prioritize strength over thinness
How the sex hormone shifts during perimenopause and menopause affect body composition
The benefits of reverse dieting to improve metabolic health
Using strength training to counteract the effects of sarcopenia
Chronic stress and its impact on cortisol levels and metabolic health
inflammation levels and toxins from personal care products, food, and the environment
Importance of prioritizing sleep
Connecting with hormone-savvy healthcare providers
