Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment option for women experiencing menopause to manage the symptoms and support your hormone health.

  • Strength training is the fountain of youth. Using resistance will increase your muscle strength, bone density, increase your energy, and improve your balance. As long as you’re doing it safely, it will totally change your health for the better.

  • Testosterone is a component of HRT that helps us with bone density and maintaining muscle mass. As women, we do need some testosterone in our bodies for these benefits, so don’t be afraid of it.
