Struggling to lose stubborn weight in perimenopause? Why building strength trumps chasing skinny!

In this episode I share why strength training is essential if you want to lose stubborn weight in perimenopause AND improve your long-term health.

I delve into the importance of building strength to combat muscle loss, enhance metabolic health, and reduce your risk of chronic illnesses.

I explain the key principles of strength training I believe you need to know to ensure you seek out the right support and get the right program to fit your needs.

I also touch on the common fear of 'bulking up', and explain why a strength-oriented program simply won't do that - especially when it's individualised.
