In this episode of the Heroines Podcast, Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi discuss the vital role of muscle for women during perimenopause and menopause. They explain how muscle supports metabolic health, bone strength, cognitive function, and independence, while hormonal declines accelerate muscle loss and fat gain.
Listeners learn how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) — including estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone — can support muscle maintenance and repair. For women not using BHRT, lifestyle strategies like strength training, proper protein intake, anti-inflammatory nutrition, supplements, and stress management are essential.
The episode also highlights the vicious cycle of declining hormones leading to muscle loss, reduced mobility, chronic disease risk, and mental health challenges. Dr. Heidi encourages women to shift focus from aesthetics to functional strength, mobility, and cognitive health for sustainable long-term wellbeing.
