Episode #69 - Strength Training in Perimenopause: The Most Powerful Tool for Hormones, Metabolism & Aging Well

Welcome to episode 69 of Antigravity Wellness!Strength training during perimenopause isn’t just about getting toned—it’s one of the most powerful tools women have for improving hormones, metabolism, bone density, energy, and long-term health.In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith explains how building muscle supports far more than appearance. While strength training can naturally support testosterone levels in women, its biggest impact is on metabolism, insulin sensitivity, bone strength, balance, energy, and reducing the risk of falls and injury as we age.She also breaks down why so many women struggle to see results—not because they’re not working hard enough, but because key foundations are often missing. These include progressive overload, adequate protein intake, proper recovery, quality sleep, and addressing underlying issues like thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, chronic stress, and hormone imbalance.The goal isn’t perfection or extreme workouts—it’s building a sustainable lifestyle that helps you stay strong, mobile, energized, and independent through perimenopause and beyond.Freebies: Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!
