Are you working out harder but seeing fewer results after 40?
Could poor sleep be sabotaging your fat loss, muscle, and bone health?
Is your body stuck in stress mode without you realizing it?
After 40, recovery becomes more important than intensity.
In this episode, Anthony Balduzzi breaks down how sleep regulates anabolic and catabolic hormones, the hormones that build muscle and bone versus the ones that break them down.
We explore why under-recovery keeps the body in a sympathetic stress state, how that affects fat loss, and why high-intensity training without proper sleep can eventually backfire.
If you are busy, caregiving, working full-time, or simply trying to stay healthy while managing a full life, this conversation will help you understand the five foundations of health over 40 and how to prioritize them.
