5 Surprising Reasons We NEED to Resistance Train in Perimenopause

Welcome back to the Women’s Fitness and Health Revolution podcast!

In this jam-packed, research-rich episode, we’re diving into one of the most crucial tools for navigating the wild ride of perimenopause: resistance training—and why it’s non-negotiable if we want to feel strong, sharp, and in control in this next chapter.

From preventing devastating bone loss to improving brain health and metabolic function, I’m breaking down 5 science-backed, unexpected reasons strength training isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Spoiler: it’s not about shrinking your body—it’s about building your body armor.

We’re also chatting life updates, my new Menopause Coaching certification (!!), the launch of my small-group training pods, and how I’m making it easier than ever to get started (hint: just two 30-minute workouts a week can make a big difference).

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or like resistance training just isn’t for you—this episode will shift your mindset, hype you up, and give you the “why” behind the “how.”
