What actually happens to female muscle as we age—and why is menopause a breaking point?
In this episode, we sit down with molecular biologist Profesor Severine Lamon to unpack what really happens to female muscle as we age—and why menopause marks a unique, non-linear turning point in training and recovery.
Topics we cover include:
• When muscle decline begins—and why it’s not linear
• How different types of testosterone influence performance
• The impact of hormone therapy on strength and recovery
• How sleep loss alters training effects at the genetic level
• The 3x/day protein + leucine strategy for aging muscle
• The overlooked risks of performance drugs in women’s health
Whether you're coaching women or training through menopause yourself, this episode gives you science-backed tools to preserve strength with clarity and confidence.
