116: Redefining What it Means to Age Well & Embracing Your Menstrual Cycles with Dr. Stephanie Estima

Hey loves! Today I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Estima!

"I would love for women to be comfortable taking up space, becoming really strong, and putting on lean muscle. A lot of the menopausal symptoms can be quelled with lean muscle mass. Weight training helps to protect the brain, benefits the immune system, and helps your mood. These are really important considerations for women who want to age well."

In today’s episode, we talk about:

• How to tailor your workout to your cycle

• What the foundation of your physical training should be

• Re-defining what it means to age well

• How lean muscle mass slows the aging process
