Menopause, Muscle & Metabolism: What Every Woman Over 35 Must Know - Dr Mary Claire Hayver

Описание: Struggling with stubborn belly fat, brain fog, or declining muscle after 35? Dr. Mary Claire Haver joins us for a powerful conversation that every woman needs to hear. We break down the science of menopause, muscle loss, hormones, belly fat, and why resistance training and nutrition are non-negotiable after 35.

Learn why protein is your best friend, how to train smarter (not harder), and what hormone therapy can—and can’t—do. We also dive into creatine, probiotics, weighted vests (aka “rucking”), and how to eat for strength, longevity, and a sharp brain. Whether you're in perimenopause or post-menopause, this episode is your midlife blueprint to thrive.


👉 What we cover:
Why women over 35 must lift heavy weights
The truth about belly fat after menopause
The underrated power of fiber, protein, and creatine
What HRT really does (and doesn't) solve
How to eat 30 plants a week & level up gut health
Why a DEXA scan before 65 might save your life
The benefits of rucking (walking with weight)
