Movement is Medicine

In this episode, our host Dr. Annie sits down with women's fitness expert Chryssie to tackle some common misconceptions about menopause and shed light on what's really important for women to know during this phase of life.

They dive into the hype around intermittent fasting, especially as it's often recommended for menopausal women, and discuss why it might not be the best approach.

Chryssie explains how women’s bodies respond differently to energy restrictions compared to men and why adopting strategies that work specifically for women's unique needs is essential.

Key Points Discussed:

1. Intermittent Fasting: Understanding why it's often recommended but may not be suitable for menopausal women.
2. Exercise and Energy Restriction: How combining fasting with exercise can backfire.
3. Differences Between Men and Women: Emphasizing that women are not just smaller versions of men and have different metabolic needs.
