Episode 29. Muscle and How it Affects our Hormones, Metabolism, and Gut Health
In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful role muscle plays in our overall health, especially as we age.
If you’ve ever hated cardio (like me!) and thought lifting was just for bodybuilders, this episode will flip that mindset. I share my personal journey of ditching the idea of long runs and embracing strength training—and how it made me feel strong without the breathless misery.
We bust the myth that lifting makes women bulky and highlight how building muscle actually improves hormone balance, boosts metabolism, and supports gut health. From increasing testosterone levels (yes, women need it too!) to lowering insulin and supporting bone density, muscle is truly metabolic gold.
If you’re in your 30s or beyond, resistance training shouldn’t be optional—it’s essential. We talk about simple ways to get started.
Muscle loss doesn’t have to be your future. Feel the difference in your clothes, energy, and confidence. It’s never too late to begin—join us in the May Momentum Program. Book a call at www.callwithsara.com
The best time to start was years ago. The second best time is now.
I pray this blesses you!
