The online world has exploded with promises, gimmicks, and pricey "miracle" fixes for all things related to health (especially for perimenopause and menopause). In this myth-busting episode, co-hosts Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr welcome back a fan favorite—Dr. Stuart Phillips, world-renowned exercise physiologist, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair recipient, and one of the most respected voices in exercise and nutrition science. If you loved his insights in Episode 51, get ready for a deeper, sharper, more candid conversation this time around.
Together, we dive into the whirlwind season often called "adult puberty"—perimenopause and menopause. It's a time when our bodies and brains shift in ways that can feel confusing, frustrating, and even isolating. Dr. Phillips helps us separate the noise from the actually useful, shining a light on what research truly supports… and what it doesn't.
We unpack: 💬 Why so many social media claims miss (or misuse) the science 💬 The truth behind phrases like "you must lift heavy"—and why all forms of strength training offer meaningful benefits 💬 His simple, science-based rules for judging supplements, including why some are worth consideration and many aren't 💬 Why creatine—a 40-year-old, heavily researched supplement—continues to stand the test of time 💬 How muscle and bone loss are inevitable with aging… and why they likely begin earlier than most women realize 💬 The most important actions women can take now to protect and build strength for the decades ahead
This episode is a grounding, clarifying guide for every woman navigating midlife changes and seeking trustworthy, research-driven advice. Dr. Phillips brings the science; Shawna and Alli bring the candid conversation and real-life context.
Whether you're struggling through symptoms, overwhelmed by online "experts," or simply wanting to age stronger and smarter—this is a must-listen.
