About this episode

Dr. Spencer Nadolsky sits down with exercise physiologist and menopause researcher Dr. Alyssa Olenick to cut through the pseudoscience targeting women in the fitness space and break down what actually happens to body composition during the menopausal transition. From rep ranges to cortisol myths to why women should train more like men, this is the conversation most coaches are too busy selling pink packets to have.
