Episode 38: 💪🏼 Building Muscle for Hormone Balance After 40 🌸
Most women lift to get toned — but after 40, strength training becomes a hormone-balancing tool.
In this episode, Clarice breaks down the science behind why traditional workouts stop working in perimenopause and menopause, and why building muscle is essential for estrogen support, insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and belly-fat reduction.
You’ll learn:
• What actually changes with your hormones after 40
• Why the GH/IGF-1 axis becomes crucial for muscle and recovery
• How training volume, compound lifts, and rest periods influence hormones
• Why chronic HIIT, excessive cardio, and undereating backfire
• The MTP method for hormone-smart muscle building
If you’re gaining midsection fat, feeling inflamed, or training hard but not seeing results — this episode will help you understand exactly what your body needs now.
