Today our guest Lindsey shares her experience of gaining 50 pounds after years of bodybuilding preparation, what her lab work revealed and how she rebuilt her health with a different approach to training, nutrition and recovery.
We talk about what midlife women can focus on instead of endless cardio and aggressive calorie cuts. Lindsey also explains how to approach fat loss, maintenance and strength training in a way that supports our hormones, confidence, long-term health and ability to age independently.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How a year of extreme bodybuilding preparation and chronic stress led to a 50 pound weight gain
• The lab results that helped explain what was happening, including zero progesterone, insulin resistance, low thyroid levels and high cortisol
• Why perimenopause can mean having a smaller stress bucket and less tolerance for high intensity training and under eating
• Why replacing excessive cardio with strength training may be a better approach for many women in midlife
• Why daily movement and realistic step goals matter
• Why protein and muscle preservation are so important during a weight loss phase
• How to find maintenance calories and begin with a modest calorie deficit
• Why weight loss phases should be followed by maintenance phases
