Are your workouts leaving you stronger—or simply more exhausted?
For years, I believed a good workout had to leave me sweaty, depleted, and feeling like I had burned as many calories as possible. But at 58, I look at exercise differently. I want my workouts to help me build lasting muscle, support my metabolism, and leave me able to train again—not wipe me out for three days.
In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're simplifying what to eat before and after strength training. You'll learn why intense fasted workouts may not support your changing midlife body, when your last meal may provide enough fuel, and when a small pre-workout snack could help.
I'll also share simple Trim Healthy options using protein, essential amino acids, and strategic carbohydrates. Plus, we'll talk about post-workout protein, leucine, muscle recovery, and how to know which workouts actually require additional fuel.
You don't need to make this complicated. You need a simple approach that helps you feel energized, recover well, and become strong.
