Ep #116: Strength Matters: Lift Heavy Sh*t in Perimenopause & Menopause

9/27/2024
In this episode, Andrea Donsky and Melissa Hyde delve into the transformative power of weightlifting for women in perimenopause and menopause. With over 35 years of experience, Melissa shares her insights on how strength training can enhance overall health and help with weight gain, longevity/healthspan, and quality of life for midlife women. This episode highlights the critical importance of incorporating strength training into midlife women's fitness routines. By dispelling common myths and emphasizing the health benefits associated with weightlifting, Andrea and Melissa aim to inspire listeners to embrace a more active lifestyle for better health outcomes during menopause. Key Takeaways The Need for Strength Training: Women lose muscle mass and bone density as early as 30, losing 3-5% per decade. By age 80, this could lose up to 30% of muscle mass if not addressed through strength training. Myth-Busting Weightlifting: Many women fear becoming "bulky" from lifting weights. Melissa emphasizes that building significant muscle mass requires dedicated training and is not a concern for most women. Health Benefits of Muscle Mass: Increased muscle mass is linked to improved longevity, cognitive health, and reduced risk of falls and fractures. Strength training helps maintain independence as women age. Recommended Training Frequency: Melissa suggests that midlife women use strength training 2-4 times per week, focusing on proper form and gradually increasing intensity. Connection Between Muscle and Bone Health: Lifting weights applies force on bones, promoting bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Upcoming Event Power of Menopause Summit Date: October 25th, 9 AM to 5 PM (Virtual) A free online summit designed to empower women through education and resources related to menopause.

Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, Menopause Researcher, Menopause Educator, and co-founder of Morphus, talks to Dr. Lara Briden about weight gain and changes in metabolism in perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Briden's latest book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" (also titled "The Metabolism Reset" in some regions), aims to dispel the shame and reframe discussions around body weight management during perimenopause and menopause. She acknowledges that weight gain is a complex and emotional issue, not simply a matter of "eating less and exercising more." Metabolic dysfunction can occur regardless of body size, and perimenopause and menopause are times of significant metabolic upheaval. The podcast explores the connection between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), insulin resistance, and menopause.

Ep #99: Top Tips for Eating without Guilt in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Michelle May, MD.

5/9/2024
Research Surveys to further menopause research: https://wearemorphus.com/pages/research-surveys Doctors Visits Survey: https://forms.gle/w3cksHc6mt2v7GNu9 Shop Morphus Menopause Supplements: https://bit.ly/3QpGyxl Andrea Donsky is a nutritionist, menopause educator, researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphous.com. In this interview, she talks with Dr. Michelle May a former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, and founder of amihungry.com. She facilitates mindful eating programs and training for practitioners. She is also an associate professor at Arizona State University. Key Takeaways from the Podcast - Andrea Donsky and Dr. Michelle May discuss their shared experiences of growing up in an era focused on weight loss, calorie counting, and dieting. - Mindful eating is defined as eating with intention and attention, focusing on internal cues of hunger, satiety, enjoyment, and satisfaction rather than external rules or restrictions. - Mindful eating is similar to intuitive eating, with both approaches emphasizing an "inside-out" process of reconnecting with the body's natural signals1. - Emotional and mindless eating are common challenges, often triggered by stress, boredom, or other unmet needs. Pausing to check in with physical, mental, and emotional states can help identify the root cause. - Strategies for mindful eating include: - Pausing to check in on physical hunger cues, thoughts, and emotions before eating - Redirecting attention to other activities when not physically hungry - Exploring the underlying reasons for wanting to eat, such as boredom or stress, and finding alternative ways to address those needs - Using deep breathing to calm the nervous system before eating - Avoid using exercise as punishment or to "earn" the right to eat, as this can create an unhealthy relationship with food and movement.
