@dr.danielleowens: Muscle loss in perimenopause isn't just about aesthetics. Estrogen helps regulate muscle protein synthesis. As it declines, your body becomes less efficient at building and maintaining muscle even when you're training consistently. This has downstream effects on your metabolism, your bone density, and your pelvic floor. Strength training in midlife isn't optional. And neither is understanding why your body is changing. #PerimenopauseHealth #StrengthTrainingForWomen #WomensHealthMatters #MidlifeFitness #PelvicFloorHealth #MuscleHealth
