Description

Healthspan, not just lifespan, is the goal in midlife. If you’re a woman in menopause or beyond, building muscle through strength training is the single best way to extend your healthspan, the years you feel strong, capable, and independent.

In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen explains why muscle matters in menopause and how resistance training supports healthy aging. Walking is wonderful, but walking alone isn’t enough. Muscle is the true armor of aging.

You’ll discover:

  • What healthspan vs lifespan really means
  • Why strength training in menopause is essential for longevity
  • How grip strength predicts health and independence
  • Simple, doable ways to add resistance training to your routine today
