Sore after workouts and wondering if that means your workout worked — or if something’s wrong with your body now that you’re in midlife?

If you’re rarely sore, always sore, or stuck believing soreness is the price of progress, this episode clears what soreness really means. Why it shows up differently for different women, and how menopause changes recovery without changing your ability to get stronger.

You’ll learn what the science says about muscle damage, inflammation, and why chasing soreness can actually slow your results.

If you want to train smarter, recover better, and stop letting ‘sore after workouts’ define your success.

Hormones and hot flashes with humor is exactly the kind of conversation women in midlife have been missing—real, honest, and refreshingly human.

Let’s get straight to what’s actually happening in your body when symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes, and fatigue show up.

Instead of treating midlife like a breakdown, we reframe it as a biological transition that deserves better information, better support, and better strategies.

Get ready for a fun chat about hormones and hot flashes with humor and content you want served in a dish you’ll love.

How many times have you heard, “my hormones are out of balance”?

With our guest, we’ll talk about the sex hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, the related-to-muscle hormones like growth hormones and melatonin. Most of all, what we’re really going to talk about is the critical mass that your want to focus on, yet talked about least.

If you’ve been wondering are your hormones out of balance, this episode may finally connect the dots.

You don’t need the perfect rep range for muscle, strength and bone after 50. You need the right effort, the right frequency, and a plan your joints and schedule can repeat.

We’re clearing up one of the most persistent myths in menopause fitness: The Rep Range Rulebook for muscle, strength and bone after 50.

For decades the “repetition continuum” told us:


Heavy = strength


Moderate = hypertrophy


Light = endurance

The problem? The research says it’s not that simple—or better said, it’s not that limiting, especially when you train close to failure and especially when your recovery and joints matter (hello, menopause).

I’m going to walk you through what the studies actually DID—step-by-step—and then we’ll translate it into women’s rep-range for muscle, strength, and bone density after 50.
