EP. 197 On this episode, I finally get to sit down with my dear friend and total badass, Dr. Stephanie Estima. We’re talking all about strength training, hormones, and why building muscle is absolutely non-negotiable if you want to age well, stay strong, and build resilience — especially through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

But this isn’t just about looking good — it’s about protecting your bones, supporting your metabolism, and keeping your independence as you age. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, inflammatory arthritis, or you’re simply unsure where to start, we’re breaking down why muscle is your greatest asset and how to begin strength training at any age or fitness level.

Topics We Cover:

Strength training for women over 40
How hormones shift in perimenopause and menopause
Building bone density and preventing falls
Managing chronic pain and inflammatory arthritis
Protein intake for muscle growth
Why sleep is essential for recovery
Training to failure and progressive overload
Using strength training to process emotions and trauma
