In this episode, I share a recent TikTok live session that covers a lot of ground, including personal updates, my current book project on fitness for women in their fifties, and some entertaining anecdotes about my recent experiences with hot yoga and rollerblading. I also discuss my approach to fitness and nutrition, focusing on macro tracking and the importance of adapting our lifestyle to accommodate the changes that come with menopause. I touch on my journey from being a cardio enthusiast to finding a better balance with weight lifting and proper nutrition. Additionally, there's information about the impact of stress on thyroid health, my experience with hormone replacement therapy, and strategies for effective weight management during and after menopause.
