Today’s episode is a refresher course or your introduction if you’re new to Flipping 50 and not quite sure you can make the connection between sex hormones and bone density.

My Morning Routine and How It’s Changed Over Time
The Flipping 50 Show
In my 20s, I would go for a run within an hour of waking. But as the years went by, I would linger over coffee and my studies or work. Even though I still wanted to move in the morning, I realized the best quality creativity and focus were accessible to me in the first hours of the morning. It wasn’t the same later. Eventually, I realized that if I focus on studying or work on a project and delay my workout until later, I could get another boost of focus when I return, refreshed and showered from exercise. Even when I was training for Iron -distance triathlons, 3 to 4-hour long sessions of...

Menopause Fasted Exercise Pros and Cons
The Flipping 50 Show
Our stance: Flipping 50 believes each woman is unique. That said, we favor fed exercise over fasted exercise when it is intense. That is, high intensity interval training, or strength training with the intent of preserving lean muscle mass and avoiding frailty or fragility occur within the eating window and ideally bookended by protein consumption if for muscle or bone mass. We do acknowledge that exercise may “feel hard” when exercise is performed fasted giving the perception of “working hard.” However, we suggest based on research and 4 decades of primary observation, women actually...

My Post Menopause Workout Week Experiment | What I’m Doing
The Flipping 50 Show
My post menopause workout has been working. Let me say that first. I’m lean, as lean as I comfortably want to be, and my muscle remains high, I’m not losing it. If anything, I’ve gained more in the last 2 years as I bumped intensity and recovery in my routine. By that, I mean more volume in my workouts but also more recovery time between sessions. It’s about being smart with rest as much as it is with pushing through the actual workouts. Recovery time between strength sessions by the way isn’t just a lazy couch potato time. It's an active recovery. I’m doing sprint intervals,...
