Ep 114- [BEST OF] Boost Your Metabolism: The Role of Muscle in Women's Health After 30

Send us Fan MailKat, host of MilesFromHerView powered by KatFit Strength, explains why muscle is essential for metabolism and overall health for women in their thirties, forties, and beyond. She links age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) to a slowing metabolism, noting that after 30, women may lose about 3–8% of muscle per decade and that declining estrogen can accelerate loss during perimenopause and menopause. Kat explains how muscle increases resting metabolic rate, improves insulin sensitivity, supports hormonal balance, and helps preserve bone density, thereby reducing osteoporosis risk. She emphasizes strength training—ideally 2–3 full-body sessions weekly using compound movements and progressive overload—along with recovery, sleep, and adequate protein intake. She encourages consistency while acknowledging busy seasons like early motherhood.00:00 Metabolism and Muscle00:30 Show Intro and Host02:15 Why This Matters Now04:37 Muscle as Metabolic Organ07:31 Hormones and Aging Shifts10:35 Real Life in Your 30s☎️ Schedule a Complimentary Call See if KatFit Strength is a good fit for you: Book Here📩 Join the KatFit Strength Weekly Newsletter Get coaching tips, mindset insights, and updates: Sign Up Here❓ Questions About Strength, Nutrition, or Cardio?
