Why You’re Exercising More But Still Gaining Weight with Dr. Shannon Ritchey
About this episode
Dr. Anthony Youn and Dr. Shannon Ritchey discuss fitness myths and the importance of strength training for women's health.
What if the key to longevity, fat loss, and a healthier metabolism isn’t more cardio, but more muscle? In this episode of The Dr. Youn Show, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with Dr. Shannon Ritchey to break down the biggest fitness myths women still believe. They explain why so many workouts leave people exhausted without results, how strength training changes your metabolism, why women shouldn’t fear “getting bulky,” and the simple framework Dr. Shannon uses to help women build muscle without burning out. They also discuss menopause, hormones, cardio, GLP-1 medications, recovery, protein intake, and why gaining just five pounds of muscle could dramatically improve long-term health and biological aging. 🔗 Links and Resources → Ready for your own reset?
