Episode description as stored
Menopause is changing your body, but the part nobody talks about isn't hot flashes. It's muscle. Women lose lean mass fastest in perimenopause, the loss probably starts closer to 35, and no pill, patch or injection fixes it. In this solocast, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon explains what estrogen, testosterone and FSH actually do to your metabolism, why a 50-year-old body can still build muscle, and the training and protein protocol to start now.
