Manage episode 363424668 series 3449217
In this week's episode, I dive into what is going on with women's bodies in perimenopause and menopause and how strength training is really the key to keeping our bodies functioning properly and serving us well through the rest of our lives.
In menopause, our estrogen levels change dramatically. I review all the ways that loss of estrogen negatively impacts the condition of our bodies and the vital role that weight training plays in counteracting it. If you're a woman in her 30s, 40s or 50s, you won't want to miss this one!
