What if everything you thought you knew about menopause was wrong? In this eye-opening episode, Bryan White sits down with health and wellness expert Amanda Thebe to challenge the stigma, confusion, and silence surrounding menopause and perimenopause.

From hormonal chaos to strength training solutions, hormone therapy myths to lifestyle game-changers, this is the education every woman (and man!) needs but rarely gets.

Lynn Sederlof-Airisto, a certified menopause fitness coach, shares her insights on how perimenopause affects women's bodies, particularly regarding weight gain, metabolism, and muscle mass. Lynn emphasizes the importance of strength training for women over 40 to combat muscle loss and burn fat. She encourages women to embrace strength training to maintain their vitality and energy in midlife and beyond.

The conversation dives into key health red flags that many women overlook, such as poor sleep, irregular cycles, low energy, and more. Ashley explains the critical role of strength training in improving not just physical fitness but also hormonal balance, mood, and overall well-being. You'll also hear why lifting heavy weights (yes, heavy!) is a game-changer for women of all ages—even her 73-year-old client is back-squatting 185 pounds!
