Why You Workout and Don’t Look Like It

from The Elise Tzurkov Podcast · host etzurkov

Most women chasing weight loss in perimenopause and menopause are focused on the wrong metric: the scale. In this episode, I explain why body composition—not just weight loss—is the real key to looking leaner, feeling stronger, and building confidence after 40. You'll learn the difference between weight loss and body composition, why muscle is your greatest asset during perimenopause and menopause, and how hormones,inflammation, gut health, and stress can impact your results. I also break down practical nutrition and training strategies to help you build lean muscle, improve body composition, and create lasting change.If you're frustrated and wondering why traditional weight loss methods aren't working anymore, could body composition be the missing piece?FREE WORKOUTS: https://www.functionallyfitwithelise.com/functionallyfit-over-40-workoutsLearn about our customized coaching program: https://ffwehealthcoaching.com/4f-2246FREEBIES available on my website: https://www.functionallyfitwithelise.com/Stay connected with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enStay connected with me on via email: https://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterJoin my free Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/
