Episode Details

Did you know that improper pre and post-workout nutrition in menopause could be the reason you aren't seeing results? It SUCKS to be busting your butt in the gym and realize that something as simple as a snack is why you aren't seeing results!

Shocking, I know!

In this episode, I cover:

-Why we need to tailor nutrition in perimenopause and menopause

-Why you need a pre-workout snack (when and what to eat)

-Why you need a post-workout snack (when and what to eat)

-Why fasting is holding you back

-Different types of protein powders and their benefits
