Where Did My Muscle Go? Hormones & Strength After 40

The muscle you are losing right now is doing a lot more than changing how you look in the mirror. It is quietly running your metabolism, regulating your blood sugar, and protecting your bones — and most women have absolutely no idea it is happening. You can be eating well, doing cardio five days a week, and still feel squishier, weaker, and completely frustrated that nothing is working. And it starts earlier than most women realize. In this episode, Dr. Carrie Jones sits down with Barbara Birke — holistic health coach and sport scientist with over 25 years of experience helping women over 40 build strength and actually feel good in their bodies again — for one of the most eye-opening conversations about what is really going on when muscle disappears in midlife. From blood sugar and hormones to pelvic floor, GLP-1s, and why pink weights are perfectly fine, Barbara makes this feel completely doable no matter where you are starting from. Because it is never too late. And your body is not working against you — it is waiting for you to work with it. This is the shortened version of our interview, featuring highlights and key takeaways.
