Mixed feelings about Strength Training. hot flashes reduced a bit was noticeable, but the brain fog lingered didn't really improve. It might work for others but was modest for me.

Strength Training

Strength Training helped somewhat with my weight gain around the middle — mood stabilised slightly, though the brain fog lingered. Not a miracle but not nothing either.

Strength Training Protein Increase

Dr Haver on Huberman was clear — the menopausal metabolic shift requires a lifestyle response. Cardio alone won't cut it. I switched from running to heavy compound lifts 4x per week and doubled my protein intake. The scale hasn't changed dramatically but my body composition has transformed. Waist measurement down 3 inches in 4 months. Muscle is metabolically active — this is the long game.
