Drop the one-size-fits-all fitness and nutrition advice because, ladies—they're not like us.

Men and women don’t play by the same biological rulebook when it comes to weight loss, muscle, and metabolism. So why are we still following fitness plans designed for men in their 30s?

In this episode, we’re breaking down why men lose weight faster, build muscle easier, and seem to bounce back from workouts like superheroes—while we’re over here counting macros, lifting weights, and wondering why our jeans still feel snug.

Spoiler: It’s not your fault! Hormones, metabolism, and stress all hit differently in midlife, and it’s time to start training smarter, not harder.

We’ll cover:
💪 Why cardio alone won’t cut it in menopause (and what actually works)
🥩 The truth about protein and how to fuel your body post-45
🔥 Why men recover faster—and how you can optimize rest for better results
🚫 The #1 mistake women make when trying to lose weight in midlife

It’s time to stop playing by their rules and start training in a way that works for you. Tune in and let’s rewrite the menopause fitness playbook together.
