Feeling like your energy tank is permanently on empty? And climbing the stairs is an effort?
Welcome to the wild ride of perimenopause, where your hormones start playing by new rules and it feels like your body is controlling you, not the other way around.
But rather than battling through the chaos and feeling like you want to scream ‘I can’t do this anymore’, there are a few simple changes you can make.
And Alison Urquhart is the woman who can guide you through them.
Why you should tune in
As a health, fitness and wellbeing coach, Alison has helped a whole heap of women manage midlife energy dips and muscle loss by encouraging them to make friends with dumbbells.
Because if you think lifting weights is just for 20-something gym bros, Alison will help you realise exactly why strength training should be your new exercise go-to. And if you’re still grabbing a latte and calling that breakfast… well, Alison will give you the lowdown on the power of packing in the protein too.
What you should listen out for:
[01:24] Are you saying, ‘I just can’t do this anymore’?
[03:34] When either/or becomes yes, and…
[07:49] Why is it important to lift weights in your 40s, 50s and beyond?
[08:56] Strong not skinny.
[11:07] How much protein should we be eating in perimenopause?
[13:27] What should you be eating to pack in the protein?
[17:03] How soon after a workout should you be refuelling?
So, if you’re wondering how much protein you need and exactly what you should be eating to hit your daily quota, press play on this episode of Career Interrupted and get set to feel stronger, happier and healthier through your 40s, 50s and beyond.
