Ep 805: Why Your Diet Isn’t Working—And What to Do Instead (Especially After Menopause)

Welcome to the Sisterhood of Sweat. Today's guest is Stephanie Crassweller. Linda and Stephanie discussed women's wellness, focusing on hormonal changes and metabolism during perimenopause and menopause, and how these affect fat loss and overall health. They explored the importance of balanced nutrition, proper stress management, and strength training for maintaining muscle mass and improving metabolism. The conversation concluded with insights on self-worth beyond physical appearance and the need for women to prioritize their health and well-being through professional guidance and self-awareness.
