About this episode

Jason Cook discusses why traditional cardio is ineffective for women over 40 and what alternative approaches can promote health during menopause.

For decades, women have been told to run more, sweat more, burn more. But after 40, that playbook doesn't just stop working — it can actively work against you. In this episode, Jason Cook breaks down why chronic cardio is keeping women in a frustrating cycle of exhaustion and weight regain, and what your body actually needs during perimenopause and menopause to start shifting. This is the episode you send to every woman who is still running herself into the ground and wondering why nothing is changing.
