If you're 40+ and feel like your metabolism hit a wall… building muscle might be your secret weapon. 💪
Muscle isn’t just for looks — it’s metabolic gold.
Here’s what it actually does for your body:
✅ Improves blood sugar
→ Muscle tissue helps pull glucose out of your bloodstream and use it for energy — less insulin spike, less crash.
✅ Boosts metabolism
→ Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat does, meaning you naturally use more energy even when you're not working out.
✅ Supports hormone balance
→ Strength training reduces cortisol (stress hormone) and improves insulin sensitivity, which helps balance s*x hormones like estrogen and progesterone — crucial during perimenopause and beyond.
Start with:
🗓️ Strength training 2–3x per week
🍳 A protein-rich first meal (20–30g of protein)
Your metabolism, mood, and energy will thank you.
