Strength in Midlife Starts with More Than Just Lifting

You’ve probably heard it a hundred times - strength training is the key to thriving in perimenopause and menopause. And while lifting weights is essential, it’s only part of the equation. Nutrition, metabolism, and hormones all play a major role in how you feel, how your body changes, and how you sustain energy, strength, and confidence in midlife.

That’s where Beyond The Barbell comes in.

I created this space to help women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond navigate the often-overlooked side of midlife health: how to fuel your body, balance your metabolism, and feel your absolute best. Because let’s be real - perimenopause isn’t just about hot flashes and mood swings. It can also bring frustrating weight gain, unpredictable cravings, energy crashes, and brain fog.
