Struggling to cut through the noise on protein, strength training, and recovery after 50? In this in-depth conversation with Dr. Stuart Phillips - one of the world’s most cited researchers on muscle protein synthesis - we debunk myths and give women in midlife clear, practical guidance.
We cover:
* Heavy vs Light Weights, Protein Timing & Recovery for Women 50+ with Dr. Stuart Phillips
* Progressive overload (beyond just “more weight”) - volume, frequency, tempo, and power
* Consistency & joint-friendly training for women 40, 50, 60+
* Recovery in menopause: sleep, stress load, why “more” isn’t always better
* Protein timing truths (“garage door,” not a tiny window): why the 24-hour view matters more than chugging a shake in 20 minutes
* Under-eating & performance: how smart fueling around training can help women who chronically undereat
* Hormone therapy as an enabler: symptom relief may help you train consistently
Who it’s for: Women 40+ navigating peri/menopause who want stronger muscles, better recovery, and science-backed nutrition without fads.
