Zone two: build mitochondria not burn muscle

Why aren't your workouts working anymore? In this episode, I break down the exercise science that actually builds muscle in menopause, and why most midlife women are doing it wrong. Learn why exercise must come before increasing protein to fix anabolic resistance, how to use zone 2 cardio without burning muscle, why high-intensity classes may be counterproductive, and the exact strength training prescription (including heavy lifting, progressive load, and protein timing) that signals your body to build muscle and bone instead of storing fat.
