info_outline Muscle Protein Synthesis in Menopause: How to Plan Pre and Post WorkoutThe Flipping 50 Show
If you’re losing tone, can’t seem to get the results you deserve for the time and energy you spend, you can blame it on part on muscle protein synthesis in menopause. What you did that worked isn’t going to. In the dance between muscle protein synthesis and muscle protein breakdown, you’re MPS is stepping out on you. It’s going to take more effort to win this tango. During menopause transition muscle protein breakdown occurs at a faster rate due to lower levels of Estrogen, not to mention testosterone. Estrogen is a natural stimulus for muscle. The problem...
info_outline Restore Hormones to Factory Settings? More Science for bHRTThe Flipping 50 Show
Restore before more is the number one tenant of Flipping 50. In this episode we visit the concept that you restore hormones using bHRT. Whether you are or you aren’t. I’d say most women I know in 2024, are open to and already having conversations around hormone replacement. In our 10th year at Flipping 50, we’ve been discussing pros and cons and what happens with body composition, bone density, muscle mass and brain health during menopause. We touch on the anecdotal evidence we have from thousands of participants, and fewer but more intimate, private clients who use or...
info_outline 10 Comprehensive Ways Resistance Training Revolutionizes Menopause HealthThe Flipping 50 Show
Picture the headline: Resistance training revolutionizes menopause health. It’s that simple. It’s 2024. We still hear both about the use of HRT or reasons (perhaps outdated) not to. We hear about both animal protein and the plant protein advocates. With this simple method of – humor me – hormone enhancement – there is no argument. We all know we need to be doing it. We all understand the benefits of being strong and vibrant. But lest you confuse a need to lose fat with the need to gain lean muscle, this is for you. Lifting already? Then you’ll love these...
info_outline Weight Gain in Perimenopause and MenopauseThe Flipping 50 Show
It’s no secret weight gain in perimenopause – or menopause transition and post menopause – is different. It doesn’t respond the way you would have predicted it should. It doesn’t come on at the same rate or in the same place as you think it should. My guest today is an MD and yet she’s first a woman who also entered midlife and experienced much of the same you may have. She also defaulted to many of the same tactics a woman with a heartbeat would. So this episode is just a simply basic discussion about what happens, and why and what to do about it and why your default...

info_outline Meet the Team Flipping 50 Behind the ScenesThe Flipping 50 Show
This is absolutely the first time I’ve done a greet and meet the team here at Flipping 50. [ Not completely true though – We’ve had one community coach on the show to talk about her 60th birthday and her perspective on it.] In the She Means Fitness Business podcast (for you fitness and health pros) I’ve introduced the positions I have hired and the order I hired them in, how I create job responsibilities… all things to help pros start a business, grow it, or scale it. I’ll link to that in the show notes. Of course it too is everywhere you listen to podcasts and if you’re...

info_outline Why & How the Flipping 50 Show Started a Decade AgoThe Flipping 50 Show
Like many things worth it, it wasn’t easy when the Flipping 50 show started. If you’re new or you’ve been here a minute but you never heard this story, this is how it all started. Tears roll down my face as I take down years of memories. Since I can remember I wanted dozens of frames full of memories hanging on my walls and lining bookshelves. My cell phone rings and I see it’s my realtor, what perfect timing. It was she who said a house sells better when a buyer can imagine themselves in the space and the seller’s personal items are removed. I should have been putting...
