Show Notes:
Are you tired of following health and fitness advice that just doesn't seem to work for you? You're not alone! Many women, especially those over 40, find themselves caught in a web of myths that hinder their progress in achieving their health and wellness goals. In this enlightening episode of The Holly Perkins Health Podcast, I delve deep into the three major myths that are holding women back in the realms of weight loss, nutrition, and strength training.
As I often say, "The right strategies can empower you to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized. " Yet, so many women are led to believe that cutting carbohydrates and engaging in high-intensity workouts are the keys to success. Unfortunately, these popular strategies can be counterproductive, leading to frustration and stagnation. Instead of seeing the results you desire, you might be experiencing the opposite effect, especially as you navigate the changes that come with perimenopause and menopause.
Throughout my coaching experience, I’ve discovered that women often achieve better results by embracing a balanced diet that includes carbohydrates and focusing on progressive strength training rather than high-intensity workouts. This approach not only supports fat loss but also enhances body composition and bone health, which are critical for women over 40. I also critically examine intermittent fasting, highlighting how it can lead to muscle loss and hormonal imbalances, particularly in women.
By debunking these pervasive myths, my goal is to empower you to adopt healthier, more effective strategies tailored to your body and lifestyle. This episode is not just about fitness; it’s about holistic health, mental health, and nurturing your well-being. Join me as I share insights that can transform your approach to women's health and wellness. Let’s rewrite the narrative around women's fitness, so you can finally feel the strength and vitality you deserve!
Tune in now to discover how you can take control of your health journey and break free from the misconceptions that have been holding you back. Your path to a healthier, more vibrant life starts here!
