238 | Want to Lose Weight? Stop Measuring Your Workout by Calories

What if the workouts you're doing to lose weight are actually missing the thing your midlife body needs most?

For years, women were told that weight loss meant more cardio, more calories burned, lighter weights, and maybe a little less food. So when the scale stopped moving, we naturally assumed we needed to work harder.

But after 40, I want you looking at exercise differently.

In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're talking about why strength training needs to become a bigger part of your plan if you want to lose weight, change your body composition, and stay strong as you age.

I'll walk you through how to combine strength training, walking, recovery, and small amounts of appropriate intensity—without turning every workout into an exhausting sweat session.

Because strength training to lose weight isn't about trying to burn as many calories as possible. We're building muscle, strength, capacity, and a body that can carry us well into our 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
