Summary
Wonder why the heck what used to work for your workouts just doesn’t cut it anymore? In this conversation I am diving in with Chalene Johnson to the realities of midlife body changes–even when the scale barely moves, how hormonal changes during perimenopause impact where we store fat, and why the workouts we used to do actually worsen our inflammation. We share the zone two approach that transformed our bodies and has kept us aging powerfully. Beyond physical changes, we discuss the importance of mindset and finding supportive female communities to empower each other.
