Before you go, take a minute to watch Dr. Stacy Sims explain why lifting heavy with fewer reps is essential for women—especially as estrogen levels decline during menopause. This shift in hormones directly impacts your strength and power, but with the right approach, you can stay strong and resilient.
Dr. Sims is a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, and part of my own training has been guided by her cutting-edge research and menopause courses.

In the realm of premium medical services, experts like Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Mary Claire Haver emphasize the necessity of strength as we age, not just as a luxury but a requirement for maintaining independence and health.
Dr. Peter Attia, a leader in longevity and precision medicine, famously asks, "Do you want to be able to open a jar all your life?" This simple analogy illustrates the vital importance of preserving strength, particularly grip strength, to ensure functional independence in daily life. For Attia, strength training is a cornerstone of aging well, improving both longevity and overall quality of life.
Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a menopause expert, echoes this sentiment. She advocates for strength training as essential for women navigating hormonal changes. As estrogen levels drop during menopause, maintaining muscle mass and strength becomes critical to counter aging's effects and preserving vitality.
Both experts agree: strength isn’t optional—it’s essential for thriving in later life. By focusing on strength today, we can ensure a longer, healthier, and more independent future.
