"What I've learned as I've studied menopause and fat loss research is that protein is the menopause nutrient. Everything that menopause introduces to our bodies, protein helps with." - Dr. Bill Campbell
Dr. Bill Campbell, professor and director of the only Physique Enhancement Lab in the country, joins me to reveal why he's dedicating his research career to understanding menopause, metabolism, and body composition. After witnessing his wife's challenging menopause transition despite her fitness-focused lifestyle, Bill recognized a critical gap in research connecting exercise science and menopause. His groundbreaking work examines how resistance training, protein optimization, and strategic exercise timing can help women thrive through hormonal changes. We dive deep into the science of maintaining muscle mass, managing body composition shifts, and why many traditional approaches fall short for women in midlife.
What you'll learn:
Why protein requirements increase during menopause and how to optimize intake for better body composition
The truth about cortisol, fasted workouts, and exercise timing for women over 40
Essential resistance training protocols that preserve muscle mass and boost metabolism
How high-intensity interval training impacts visceral fat and metabolic health
The critical connection between estrogen, muscle function, and insulin sensitivity that most doctors miss
