My guest today will share his unique experience with both arthritis and something I’ve dealt with in clients, spondyloarthritis. As a physician and a patient of arthritis, he has a very unique perspective on autoimmunity 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.

    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.

Informercials without information

I was looking forward to getting something out of these podcasts. They ended up being interviews without substance where you have to find the website of the person she is interviewing and fork over a bunch of money to get any of the actual usable information.
