Welcome to my first solo AMA episode in quite some time! I recently submitted the second round of edits for my book. That excited me and inspired me to reach out on social media and invite questions from my listeners and community. In my conversation today, I dive into weight loss resistance and reverse dieting, and I also share what I have been doing over the past year to build muscle. Join me for a transparent and candid conversation, interwoven with questions from listeners and social media followers, where I answer many of the questions that matter most to you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why the death of my father inspired me to back away from fasting and focus on strength training Changing my mindset to prioritize strength over thinness How the sex hormone shifts during perimenopause and menopause affect body composition The benefits of reverse dieting to improve metabolic health Using strength training to counteract the effects of sarcopenia Chronic stress and its impact on cortisol levels and metabolic health inflammation levels and toxins from personal care products, food, and the environment Importance of prioritizing sleep Connecting with hormone-savvy healthcare providers The best supplements for overall health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to [email protected] Books mentioned: Estrogen Matters: Why Taking Hormones in Menopause Can Improve Women's Well-Being and Lengthen Their Lives—Without Raising the Risk of Breast Cancer by Dr. Avrum Bluming and Dr. Carol Tavris The XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer's Disease by Lisa Mosconi
