If you still want to target both building muscle and losing fat in menopause stay with me! Know how to work with protein, calorie restriction, sleep, exercise, and hormone therapy. You’ll hear why eating more protein could help you get more from your training, why perpetual dieting may not be the answer, and why sleep deserves a much bigger seat at the table.  Be ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on building muscle and losing fat in menopause. My Guest: Dr. Bill Campbell is a Professor and Director of the Performance & Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida. His research focuses on improving exercise performance and physique enhancement within a maintainable lifestyle. His pioneering research includes dietary protein intakes to optimize body composition, rapid fat loss strategies, and weight loss resistance in women going through the menopause transition. His research laboratory recently completed the largest menopause fitness survey ever conducted. Questions We Answer in This Episode: Why can weight loss become harder during menopause, even when you’re doing the same things that worked before? What does the research actually show about protein and body composition, especially muscle gain and fat loss? How much protein is enough, and is there a point where more protein stops providing additional muscle-building benefits? Could years of calorie restriction and perpetual dieting make fat loss harder in midlife? Can sleep affect the ability to build muscle and lose body fat during menopause? Does hormone therapy directly affect muscle and fat loss, or does it help in other ways? If you’re overwhelmed by all the menopause fitness advice, what three things should you focus on first?

Why isn’t it working when you’re putting in the time, doing the workouts, and still not seeing the results you want?  If you’re already lifting but your strength, muscle, or body composition has hit a frustrating plateau, your training may need a smarter strategy.  After 40, effort, volume, progressive overload, training close to failure, and recovery become even more important to getting results from your workouts. Take a closer look at what experienced lifters may be missing. If you’ve been wondering why isn’t it working, it may be time to change how you train. Resistance training for advanced lifters requires a different strategy.

More exercise can backfire—especially if you're in perimenopause or postmenopause and wondering why the workouts that once worked now leave you sore, exhausted, or stuck.  In this re-release of one of our most talked-about episodes from January 2026, let’s freshen our minds on the science behind why recovery, not simply working harder, becomes the key to building strength after 50.  Estrogen influences your muscles, connective tissue, collagen, and energy production—and why those changes require a smarter training strategy.  If you've been questioning whether you're doing something wrong, this episode will remind you that your body isn't broken; it's simply asking for a different approach.  More exercise can backfire, but the right strategy can help you recover better, stay stronger, and keep doing what you love for years to come.

Lasting weight loss after 50 isn't about finding the next diet—it's about creating habits that actually fit your life.  For many women over 50, the biggest obstacle isn't lack of knowledge—it's years of dieting, broken trust with themselves, and believing lasting change has to come from another "perfect" plan. Our guest, Skye Dale, shares how she lost 120 pounds and maintained it by rebuilding self-trust, embracing consistency, and letting go of perfection. If you're ready to break free from the cycle of starting over, this episode offers a refreshing roadmap to lasting weight loss after 50. My Guest: Skye Dale is a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and midlife women’s weight loss coach who helps women 40+ move away from extremes, rebuild self-trust, and create lasting change through realistic, consistent action. After losing more than 100 pounds naturally and maintaining that loss for over 15 years, she now combines lived experience with practical coaching to help women become stronger, more confident, and more empowered in this chapter of life.

An advocate for owning your longevity and wellness, Kristen teaches how small, strategic daily habits—starting with hydration—hold the key to a longer, stronger, and more energized life. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:07:31] How was the concept of active grandparenting born, and what inspired you to create this movement? [00:14:44] How do you define active aging, and how can daily habits change the way you age? [00:17:39] How much can even mild dehydration affect balance, fatigue, and exercise performance? [00:19:36] How can Active Grandparenting become a powerful "why" for exercise and healthy aging?
