Summary

Did you know that most women reach their peak muscle mass around age 30? After that, it's a downhill slide unless we take action. In this Fitness Friday episode, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, The #1 Menopause Doctor, and I discuss the critical importance of strength training for women, especially as they age. We discuss why cardio alone isn't enough (and might even be detrimental), the surprising benefits of wearing a weighted vest, how strength training can reduce cardiovascular disease risk by 20-50% in women, and the potential role of medications like semaglutide in weight management. We also dive into strength training to prevent frailty and osteoporosis and to help maintain independence well into your golden years. Dr. Mary Claire Haver, board-certified OB/GYN, has helped thousands of women going through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond actualize their health and wellness goals by creating the online course and National Bestseller, The Galveston Diet.
