Why Fasted Workouts Stop Working for Women Over 45: The Smarter Midlife Metabolism Approach

Most midlife women are accidentally making their workouts harder than they need to be. Working out fasted might have worked in your 30s, but after 45 your hormones and metabolism tell a different story.

In today’s episode of The Menopause Method, I'm breaking down why fasted workouts stop working for women over 45 and what to do instead. If you want more muscle, better energy, fewer cravings, and a calmer nervous system, this one matters.

You’ll learn:
• why not being hungry in the morning is a stress signal
• how fasted workouts break down muscle (not fat)
• what cortisol actually does in midlife
• the simple 100 to 200 calorie pre-workout snack that changes everything
• the best way to eat after strength training to support muscle growth
• why women in midlife need a fed, not fasted, training plan
• how fueling ties into your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies
• the two-step experiment to feel stronger this week

This is the smarter midlife metabolism approach that finally matches your physiology.
