In perimenopause and postmenopause, declining estrogen changes how your body fuels exercise, so the old formula of eating less and moving more quietly burns your muscle instead of your fat and leaves you softer, more bloated, and more tired. You'll learn precisely what to eat, how much, and when, so you can keep doing the cardio you love while protecting your muscle, your metabolism, and your energy. You'll also learn why fasted and low carb cardio backfires after 40, how much protein you actually need now, the three fueling windows around every workout, and the recovery piece that quietly makes or breaks your results.
