Menopause and Muscles: the muscle secrets every menopausal woman needs to know

Are you feeling the effects of menopause, like weight gain, muscle loss, or sluggish energy? In this video, I’m diving into why building muscle during menopause is essential for your health and vitality. As oestrogen levels drop, the risks of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and osteoporosis skyrocket—but don’t worry, there’s hope! We’ll cover how strength training helps you maintain muscle, improve insulin sensitivity, boost metabolism, and even elevate your mood by releasing the ‘Hope Molecule.’ Join me as I share simple steps to get started and why it’s never too late to regain control of your health.
