EPI 107:The Truth About Muscle Loss, Weight Gain, and Why It’s Not Just “Getting Older”

Let’s get real so many women I talk to feel like their body is working against them as they get older. You might feel like your metabolism just stopped working, or that you're gaining weight even though you’re not eating more.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
 If you stay sedentary, you will lose 5 pounds of muscle and gain 15 pounds of fat every decade (Mozaffarian et al., 2011). And over the years, that adds up fast.

In this episode, I break down the science of what actually happens to your body if you don't protect your muscle and why it’s not just age that's making things harder.

We’re talking about:

• The metabolic shift no one warns you about
• What “fat-free mass” really is and why you need to protect it
• How building and maintaining muscle helps with fat loss, energy, insulin resistance, and longevity
• My exact training and nutrition strategy to build muscle as a busy mom
• And most importantly how you can stop the decline and feel stronger in your 30s, 40s, and 50s than you ever did in your 20s.

This is one of those episodes that will make you look at your habits completely differently.
