  • Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?

    Is Your Liver Preventing Muscle Growth in Menopause?
    Apr 25 2025

    To support muscle growth in menopause, you need to understand the critical role of liver health.

    If you’re struggling with muscle loss and fat gain, your liver is an essential player in the game.

    Stick with me as we uncover actionable strategies for boosting liver health and achieving muscle growth in menopause and beyond during this moment in time post pandemic.

    My Guest:

    Sara Banta is a certified Dietary Supplement Professional, member of the National Association of Nutritional Professionals, and founder of Accelerated Health Products, recognized as the Most Innovative Supplement Company.

    Sara pioneers innovative solutions to support holistic well-being. She empowers others to achieve optimal health through supplements, DNA-based nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

    Questions We Answer in This Episode:

    • [00:10:53] How is the liver related to muscle growth in menopause?
    • [00:20:31] How can certain proteins help you reach fitness goals, while others may actually get in the way?
    • [00:22:53] Why are essential amino acids crucial for supporting muscle building?
    • [00:31:21] How can you take care of your liver to help with muscle gain and fat loss?
    • [00:40:20] What are the side effects of GLP-1?
    • [00:42:50] What are safe alternatives to ozempic?

    Liver Health's Role in Menopausal Muscle Growth

    • Roles: detox, bile production, hormone regulation, protein metabolism.
    • Chemicals and toxins overload the liver, impairing fat and protein processing.

    Protein Intake Challenges & Solutions

    • Protein intake alone isn’t enough without liver support.
    • Women need more protein with age, not less - 1g protein per pound of body weight.
    • Wild animal protein, like bison and venison, are most nutrient dense.
    • Warning against mold and hidden toxins in common protein powders.

    Essential Amino Acid Supplements

    • Key ingredients: HMB, Synactive, OKG, TMG - aimed at absorption and recovery
    • Benefits: prevent muscle breakdown, enhance gut health, better protein absorption.

    Key Takeaways for Muscle Growth in Menopause:

    • Liver function is foundational for hormone balance, energy, and muscle development during and after menopause.
    • Most women are under-consuming quality protein and not absorbing it effectively due to liver or gut issues.
    • Supplements can be powerful, but they must be clean, effective, and well-formulated—many aren't.
    • Shift your mindset: It's not about shrinking your body but about strengthening it with muscle.
    • Bloat, brain fog, fatigue, and poor recovery may all link back to impaired liver detox and insufficient amino acids.
    • Whole, wild animal proteins are superior due to nutrient density and bioavailability.

We get into all the cases: You have implants and feel fine You have implants and are feeling symptoms you have just chalked up to menopause Whether for yourself, or to share with a friend or daughter, this one doesn’t end with breast implants. It only starts there. Stay all the way to the end for the no-cut facelift details! My Guest: Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD is AMERICA’S BREAST IMPLANT ILLNESS EXPERT™ with over 25 years of experience as a plastic surgeon and more than 16 years board-certified. He specializes in Breast Implant Illness (BII), explant surgery, and advanced cosmetic procedures like his signature “No-Cut” Facelift. He is also the creator of SHARP (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program)—a protocol designed to reduce inflammation and support both pre- and post-surgical healing. Dr. Whitfield earned his medical degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, followed by surgical training and a plastic surgery residency at Indiana University Medical Center, and a microsurgery fellowship in Nevada. He later taught at the Medical College of Wisconsin before moving to Austin in 2012. He began private practice in 2017. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:07:42] What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)?[00:08:01] What are the BII signs and symptoms?[00:08:43] Why does BII occur, and how common is it?[00:15:36] What to do if you suspect you have BII? What tests are available? Is there a holistic approach?[00:22:52] Is it covered by insurance? [00:22:36] How is BII treated?[00:30:11] What is the No-cut Facelift? What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)? Chronic inflammatory response to breast implants. Implants are foreign bodies which may cause ~29% chance of bacterial contamination, not mold. What are the Symptoms? Brain fogFatigue and loss of motivationGastrointestinal issues (e.g. bloating)Joint painHormonal imbalanceThyroid dysfunction What to Do If You Suspect BII? Educate yourself through long-form content and patient storiesConsider testing for: Detox capabilitiesHormonal panelsGut health and infections Look into explant surgery with comprehensive detox and recovery (e.g. SHARP protocol) The No-Cut Facelift Designed to lift and rejuvenate without surgery or visible scars The Procedure: Fiber optics for deep neck tighteningFaceTite (radiofrequency tightening beneath the skin)Micro-coring: removes tiny pieces of skin to tighten surface without visible scars Benefits: Natural results with minimal scarringBoosts collagen productionCustomizable depending on the patient’s skin, hormones, and detox status Key Takeaways BII is real and often overlooked, frequently mistaken for menopause or autoimmune disorders.Chronic inflammation and bacterial contamination (not mold) are major culprits.A new biomarker test (oxylipin 10-HOME) could soon improve diagnosis.Personal genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure significantly influence risk.Explant surgery should be holistic, addressing toxins, hormones, and gut health before and after.No-Cut Facelift, a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, is a safer, scar-free alternative to traditional facelifts, emphasizing natural results.

    Is This Perimenopause or Something Else?
    Apr 18 2025
    Do you wonder “Is this perimenopause?” Do you wonder what it looks and feels like? Get information on how to adjust and alter your exercise when you are. My Guest: Abby Chitty, a single mom with 5 kids between 15 and 24. She owns her own business as a realtor. We met on Instagram and I invited her to be a guest in this unique episode where we’re doing a coaching call and you get to listen over the fence. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:15] What does perimenopause look like for asymptomatic women over 50? [00:20:00] What changes do we need to make to our workout routine? [00:25:00] If asymptomatic, how do we know if we’re moving through the stages and how then do we judge what changes to make? What’s Showing Up for Abby? Gaining 20 lbs slowly post-kids, despite a healthy lifestyle.Feeling frustrated when traditional diet and exercise weren’t effective anymore.Friends telling you might be “doing too much” in terms of fitness. 5 days/week strength trainingSeasonal long-distance running (up to 30K)Uses YouTube programs with fast-paced, minimal-rest formatsOccasional yoga/mobility workExercises to failure, prefers lifting heavy Time to Flip the Switch with Abby: Overtraining & Recovery Benefit from less frequent but heavier strength sessionsIncorporating rest + slower tempo lifting could help. Recovery may be insufficient—without it, muscle building stalls. Running & Cortisol Long runs + strength + possible fasting = cortisol overload.Midlife women are more vulnerable to stress and hormonal shifts.Lower estrogen increases cortisol response, impacting body composition. Sleep & Metabolism Sleep deprivation is linked to stubborn weight and reduced muscle recovery. Abby averages 5.5–6.5 hours of sleep, with limited REM/deep sleep.Need more sleep to trigger growth hormone/testosterone release. Supplements Try specific forms (glycinate or L-threonate) and gradually increase the dose. Abby uses magnesium oil and a multivitamin with magnesium. Nutrition A little caloric deficit is okay, but eat enough. Not doing it too long creates stress.Reintroduce sweet potatoes. Carbs with high fiber at night will help us sleep better. Key Takeaways to Know Is This Perimenopause? You might be in perimenopause without classic symptoms: Weight gain and sleep disruption can be early signs.More isn’t always better in midlife exercise: Volume should decrease, intensity (with recovery) can rise.Muscle preservation is crucial: It drives metabolism and health outcomes more than weight alone.Sleep matters just as much as workouts: It affects hormonal balance, recovery, and fat loss.Cortisol and insulin sensitivity shift in midlife: Long-distance cardio and fasting a tricky combo.Smart scale stats are more telling than BMI: Body composition paints a clearer health picture.Personalized magnesium dosing: May improve sleep and aid recovery in midlife.

    Energy Crashes & Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 (and what to do about it)
    Apr 16 2025
    Dealing with stubborn belly fat after 40 is reality for many women. It may happen in your 40s, 50’s, 60s or even 70s. And no one… not even an 87 yo likes it. My guest reminded me there is no “pre” … there is diabetes. So let that be a wake up call. We can’t control aging. We can over control carbs to the point blood sugar levels spike. You heard that right. We can fast so long blood sugar levels spike. Learn more surprising insight inside this episode.

My Guest: Dr. Nana Ama Quansah is a Root Cause Care Practitioner, Pharmacist, and Blood Sugar Optimization Expert dedicated to helping high-achievers reclaim their energy, focus, and health.

[00:21:49] Why do we need to go deeper with comprehensive functional testing?[00:26:39] What are the simple shifts for better blood sugar balance to help them now if they feel stuck. Unlocking the Blood Sugar Connection to Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 Blood sugar affects every system in the body—brain function, muscle energy, mood, and sleep. Daily spikes in blood sugar can cause fatigue, cravings, and brain fog—even in "healthy eaters." Common Hidden Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance Afternoon energy crashesCravingsBrain fogPoor sleepMood swingsHormonal shifts (especially around menopause or PCOS) These symptoms are the body’s “whispers” that something’s off. Healthy Habits That Might Be Hurting You Skipping meals or prolonged fasting can worsen hormonal imbalance.Drinking coffee without food increases cortisol and leads to crashes later.Low-carb diets can backfire by raising stress and depriving your gut of fiber-rich, insulin-balancing foods.Eliminating carbs without strategy = increased cravings, mood issues, and stalled fat loss. What Actually Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar Eat a protein-rich breakfast—especially before coffee.Focus on fiber-rich carbs like veggies, nuts, chia, and flax instead of slashing carbs.Don’t ignore stress and sleep—they’re as important as food.Aim for balance, not restriction. Key Takeaways: Blood sugar imbalance is common and sneaky—even in women without diabetes.Listening to your body is the first test—trust what it tells you.Insulin resistance is the doorway to metabolic issues—even if you're just in the “pre-diabetic” zone.Blood sugar dysfunction affects belly fat, energy, brain clarity, and long-term health.

  • More Simple Strategies for Effective Short Workouts in Menopause

    More Simple Strategies for Effective Short Workouts in Menopause
    Apr 11 2025

    Here are more tips for effective short workouts in menopause. I know some of you listeners are addicted to your arm work. Yet, who has time?

    Well, what if I could give you arm work that works… without the extra 20 minutes?

    In a recent short strength training strategies episode I said I would share how I sneak in ancillary exercises (for arms or shoulders) for effective short workouts in menopause.

    If you’re in post menopause, the set of stimulus you need is higher than PRE or perimenopause. You're juggling the need for volume to get the testosterone and growth hormone stimulus with the need to avoid the adrenal and cortisol stress that you could cause!!

    Triceps

    Choose 5 or 6 triceps exercises and do them in rapid succession. For instance, overhead press, tricep dips, skull crushers, press downs with short and long levers and a rope overhead press from the cable.

    Biceps

    I might do 3 sets, the first with 6 sets to fatigue, then a set of 12 to fatigue and last a set of 25 to fatigue. I don’t rest between those either and I often will do a different exercise or a variation of grips. I’ll do a palm up, a palm in neutral and a long lever bicep exercise as an example.

    Shoulders

    Choose 3-4 shoulder exercises in succession. If I’m including an overhead press I’ll begin with it. Then I’ll do each reverse fly, front raise and lateral raise.

    Choose fewer bicep curls than triceps press. That’s because we use biceps to carry and hold things. I don’t do overhead presses frequently.

    Our newest 12-week program for our members is really advanced. It’s going to shorten all workouts, still provide the sets and stimulus we want and yet, you’ve been warned, it’s not going to feel easy when you’re in it.

    Get Stronger, Leaner, Better Effective Short Workouts in Menopause!
