About this episode
Muscles and Menopause Advocate Amanda Thebe
Fitness and women’s health expert Amanda Thebe went from barely surviving menopause to thriving, by making specific changes to her diet, exercise, and approach to mental health.
I was following you on IG @amanda.thebe and you made a post about women and muscles, which I absolutely love! And here we are! And she was kind enough to send me her book, which I loved, and read and now I get to interview her!
1) Talk to me about your story – personal trainer to menopause advocate
2) Let’s talk about muscles
3) What’s with “balancing hormone” and “re-setting” hormones
4) She calls protein the “queen of food”
5) She says “being strong has transferred over to my everyday life” – discuss
6) You didn’t really scare me until “a woman’s risk of breaking a hip is as much as getting breast, uterine and ovarian cancer combined” – risk of death after a hip fracture is 21 % within a year after the fracture
7) Let’s talk about sleep tips in menopause – and how sex helps sleep
