Episode notes
Menopause Changes Don’t Block Fat Loss
- Menopause brings real hormonal and metabolic changes but doesn't make fat loss impossible.
- Research shows women can lose fat in perimenopause and postmenopause at rates similar to younger women with a structured approach.
Lifestyle Changes Drive Apparent Resistance
- Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone cause sleep, mood, and energy disruptions that hinder consistency.
- Reduced NEAT and age-related muscle loss lower daily energy expenditure, making unnoticed caloric drift common.
Prioritize Muscle, Protein, And Recovery
- Train to build and preserve muscle and prioritize protein intake daily.
- Monitor calories and favor nutrient-dense whole foods while managing sleep, stress, and alcohol.
