The takeaway is listen to your body and let go of rigid exercise routines and goals. It's easy to get caught up in notions about performance and appearance instead of finding the groove that actually works. Exercise and recovery go hand in hand and are supported by sleep and nutrition.
I’m 55 now and have been post menopausal since 51. I’ve never been a high intensity fitness person, but rather just an avid edible gardener and swimmer. I swim daily in a lake and feel that’s plenty of exercise along with gardening. I never skimped on food either. I’ve been eating whole food plant-based for over 25 years. Menopause was a breeze for me probably due to that eating and exercise lifestyle. I think if we get back to how our great great ancestors lived in closer relationship with nature, exercise and food shouldn’t be anything we obsess over, but what rather do naturally. Stay strong ladies. 😉
she is 100 percent right.
What if I don't exercise to begin with? What do you suggest?
I really need to see these kind of messages once a while especially when I get too anxious for not being able to workout
Fascinating information, even as a 30 year old male! Thank you for sharing
Having ME/CFS, chronic fatigue, i have learnt that there is a significant subgroup (not the largest) of people who develop MECFS from intense exercise, including many athletes. Intense exercise is a stressor. Too much of it means the body stores stress hormones, including insulin, which stops the body from breaking down fats. IMO women in generic terms accumulate more stressors, being care givers and worrying more about others, yet feeling powerlessness and lack of agency. again in generic terms. Stress also accumulates and compounds over one's life, if you dont have an effective way to discharge it (meditation etc)
SOME stress can be positive for the human, but it can easily tip over into damaging stress, inflammation, insomnia and weight gain and of course, eventually MECFS among other auto-immune/inflammatory chronic conditions, because the body goes into a 'cell danger response' and triggers epigenetics which forces us to stop because we were not listening to our bodies' signals and needs at an earlier phase.
Great talk and eye opening
Eat more is not the answer. You need to eat an anti-inflammatory diet and lift heavy weights. That’s the only way you can lose weight in menopause in my experience.
Ia this even Ted talk?????
Thanks love. Much needed. I'm 62 with many health problems but trying to do what I used to. Not agreeing with me. Cutting meals like I used, makes me weak.
Feeling better hearing you. Bless you 💕
I hate that she uses an extreme case. Of course someone who is doing some insane stuff is going to feel better.
What about the rest of us who aren't crazy. Telling most women to work out less is so ridiculous.
If you want to have success in your career, lie to women and tell them what they want to hear.
You are bringing up super outlier cases.
So true. I'm finally losing weight and gaining muscle and not working out 1 or 2 hours a day like I did in my 40's. so weird but so true!
Eat more of what? Advice is intended to be more sensational than informative!
Love the boots, more women should wear cowboy boots
Good stuff and I love the cowboy boots!
I have been trying to lose 40 lbs for years. The only thing that worked was hypnotism and eating under 1400 calories a day. My life would have been vastly different if I had found this out sooner.. I will or be eating more, not risking the return of the health problems.
I just couldn’t focus on your speech because of the boots. Terrible idea to wear with that dress.
I was so excited when I found this video. Then at the mid-point, I realized she wasn't going to give us any more information. Just exercise less than an obsessive athletic wannabe. Got it. Eat more. Eat more what? She never says. How much more? She never says. But hey, you'll look better than you ever did. Mmmm, okay.
I don’t know if I believe this , these women aren’t in shape , I’ve seen bodybuilding women who are in there 70’s and 80’s that are real good shape ! Ive did building most of my life I’m 50 and when I don’t get enough sleep and Im stressed that’s when get all bloating and I need rest I do meditation and yoga! Your body changes but you can still be healthier then 20 year old that puts effort in
