Unlocking the Secrets of Menopause: Lift Heavy $hit!

Can menopause impact your muscle and bone health more than you realize? 

In this episode of Perfectly Pl@nted, Vesime and Dr. Daphne continue their deep dive into menopause, focusing on the crucial role of muscle mass and bone health. As estrogen levels decline during menopause, women may experience a loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Dr. Bascom explains how strength training and proper nutrition can mitigate these risks and debunks common myths about women and weight lifting.

In this episode you will gain valuable insights into the science behind muscle and bone health during menopause, learn practical strategies for maintaining strength and bone density, and discover the importance of consistency in your fitness routine. Dr. Bascom also shares her Daily Strengthening routine that is simple, effective, and may help contribute to your long-term health.
