Hi Angie! Love this. I’m a 53 year old personal trainer and have been in this profession since my late 20’s. The absolute best thing a woman can do is lift weights, and lift heavy. Muscle mass is crucial for overall health as we age and definitely helps a lot with metabolism. It’s super rare for the average woman to get bulky from lifting heavy. I lift very heavy and I’m a very slim body type at 112 lbs and have been lifting for 30 years. I’ve never had a client get bulky and they were unhappy with their body. So to anyone reading this regardless of age…lift weights! Your future self will be so happy you did. And it’s never too late. My oldest client was 86 and independent and thriving. You’re so inspiring Angie. Thank you for all the ways you’ve changed my skin care. I’m so grateful ❤️

Thank you for doing this video Angie! You look fabulous! I'm 67, 15 years post-menopausal. I take no HRT and take no drugs whatsoever but do take some supplements, food-based and mostly herbal. At about 10 years post I noticed big changes in where my weight was distributed. I'm a whole foods vegan-18 years and before that vegetarian for 20 years. I've also practiced fasting and intermittent fasting most of my adult life. I'm 5'5" 115 lbs. I've stayed the same weight pretty much my entire life but these last couple years gained 10-12 lbs. I hadn't been fasting or doing my beach walks or bodyboarding. I could not get that 10 lbs off. What made the big difference for me was moving again, specifically mountain biking! I ride at least 2 days a week. I push hard up hills which gets my cardiovascular system working, gets me sweating out toxins and is my HITT for the day. Riding was a game-changer for me...10 lbs dropped within a month without changing anything else! I am now starting to add in yoga, trampoline, weights, resistance, etc. so that I can up my riding skills. A side bar is the weight distribution, while not like when I was 50, shifted a bit as well. I'm not a sweet eater, no cookies, candy, ice cream, etc. but I do love my carbs. I still eat carbs just a tad less and balance them with a ton of dark leafy greens and fiber foods. I've also added a daily drink with aloe juice, beet powder, wheatgrass powder, pomegranate powder and fresh lemon juice...it's a bit gnarly but it gives me a boost of energy! Good sources of non-animal protein are: lentils, beans, hemp seeds, Spirulina, sprouted grains, soy milk, oats, chia seeds, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts, seitan, tempeh, edamame, dark leafy greens and brown rice pasta. I make great quesadillas using Violife cheddar, refried black beans, brown rice, sautéed kale or spinach, on sprouted tortilla, after finished heating I then add 1/2 of an avocado and fresh mixed greens. : ) Please make sure to alert people about wild vs. farmed salmon...NEVER eat "farmed" salmon!! Thanks again Angie for your straight forward information!

But this is not a life most of us lead. Many wish they could devote the time and funds to their upkeep in the way you have engineered. Sometimes, I wish you would weave in that concept more often.

Hi Angie, this is great material! As a 58 year old, I am on a macro based diet and I have restarted weight lifting back into my exercise routine. I try to push myself to lift as heavy as I can, which at this stage, does not require a gym. I was inspired by Train With Joan, a 75 year old influencer who lost a lot of weight slowly, over time, eating within her macros and lifting weights and cardio. I encourage you to give her a look. Since I have been using macros and lifting weights, my HDL went through the roof and my LDL, came down. I wasn’t really looking to improve those, as they were pretty much in line with normal. My slowly climbing TSH returned to low normal. And I lost 12 pounds, over a 7 month period. I like that you stress how this is a lifestyle issue. We need to make health a priority. Food and exercise are our medicine!

With your reach I’m praying a light bulb may go off for other women and they realize you can’t do what worked in your 30s (without getting hurt) AND you have to make changes in order to see results because our bodies are different AND there is no magic pill. It takes hard work and saying no to those things we know are bad for us. That said like is short and splurging every once in awhile is ok! Thanks again!😘

THANK YOU for being realistic and honest. It DOES take work. There is NO magic pill or diet. It is a lifestyle and constant connection between feeding and moving your body and feeding your soul. That being said, at 57 and someone that grew up teaching years of step class (remember those!) and never having weight issues until menopause, I think it is SO important to have a serious talk with yourself on what is a priority for yourself. I love being on the thinner side; however, I sit at a desk for more than I'd like at work and between our mini-farm and all the business that self employment and life has, I've made peace with the reality that my waist and thighs are not going to be what they used to be. I have oatmeal and nuts and berries and greens most days; however, I'm not willing to give up an extra slice of pizza or that occasional grilled hot dog at camp or the chocolate cream pie I made for my son's 24th birthday tomorrow night. I'm ok with that. Those "pleasures" have more priority with me. I also don't have 1 million (woohoo!!) people critiquing my body all the time which has got to be a bit motivating. LOL! You're a remarkable woman and I admire you and have followed you for years. Keep doing what you have been doing.

I use my recumbent exercise bike 1 hour a day (my social media time), do about 20-30 minutes of PT from people on KZbin a day, and finally, do 3 sets of weights for my arms 2 or 3 times a week. Plus I do 50 deep squats every morning. I am stronger than I’ve ever been. It’s been helpful for my osteoarthritis back and hips and probably kept me out of a wheelchair.

Although your point on higher protein is true. I’m also learning if you have a fatty liver , high protein is really working against you. A lot of people don’t realize they have a fatty liver and must take care of this first before starting high protein diets. Your liver ( if fatty) cannot handle processing the protein and then it can cause you to become insulin resistant.

Thanks for the update hon 💓 I have adopted most of these changes in the last 10 years alon with some intermittent fasting. I think of them as part of my retirement plan and at 63 I am in the best shape of my life - it is totally worth it. BTW to get bulky muscles it takes hours a day so a few sessions a week are super healthy and toning as Angie said. Women have smaller shoulders so really important to keep that strong for posture and holding us upright 🥰 muscle also burns more calories. Eventually you feel great - keep going adding things to avoid old people injuries and enjoy retirement 💓

Great video Angie! I worked out from my late 20s to my late 40s. I've done it all. P90X, Circuit classes, spin, ever hear of Callanetics? Yep, done that too. When I hit perimenopause, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease. Great. My immune system is killing my thyroid gland, the seat of the metabolism. An endocrinologist advised me to "throw away my scales". I kind of lost my mojo. Then, just in the last 6 months, I was unemployed so I took a temp job delivering packages for UPS. Doing this work increased my physical activity, of course, but I wasn't huffing and puffing and not even sweating. The main thing it did was cut deeply into my eating window. I started Intermittent Fasting almost by accident. Whatever, I lost 30 pounds! Not all during that work. I lost the last 10 since that job ended. I got an Apple Watch and started walking 10k steps a day, also about a year ago I started doing a "half" strength workout, just to set the "intention" here. After a while I built some more complete workouts using the Men's Health Big Book of Exercises. I do a workout every other day and I walk almost every day. Near the end of the UPS work I was panicked. Do I join a Cross Fit Box? I mean, how am I losing this weight? Sure I injured myself, but guess what? A 4.6 mile walk can fix almost anything.

All great tips. I started intermittent fasting 2 years ago at 52 and it has helped A LOT. It isn’t as difficult as people make it seem and you won’t die if you miss one or two meals a day. I do an 18:6 five days a week and I try to do 2 OMAD days each week. It’s amazing how that will shift your weight once you start losing. I have been working from home for 2 months so my eating has not been so good during that time, but I go back to the office soon and will get back at it. I also just ordered a 40” mini trampoline for exercise which hopefully won’t bother my knees.

Yes, Angie...I have noticed and am saddened about the sudden slight rise in bad cholesterol since being post-menopausal. I never had an issue with cholesterol, so I was shocked when I was told my number was borderline. I actually had a suspicion that it was related to Menopause, but it seems like a lot of these doctors, namely GYN, do not make the connection. I took it upon myself with my own research to find out that Menopause was the culprit in my case, and I started really tweaking an already healthy diet and lifestyle to ensure that my LDL and HDL numbers stayed good. It really is frustrating and disheartening that doctors do NOT seem to care regarding menopause and ensuring that their female patients are getting thru it as healthy, comfortable, and informed as possible.....Actually, I believe a lot of these doctors are Not informed (even the female ones who r probably at that stage in life themselves) and many are Not interested in being informed for they make no money from the insurance company by having menopause and/or HRT discussions with the patient.

For the first time in my life, I am officially overweight. I stopped exercising except for long walks with friends to get breakfast or lunch 😞. Being depressed makes me only want to eat and sleep. I recently gave up sugar and carbs. NOTHING. It’s like my 56 yr old self is meant to be middle aged and fat. Since completing menopause, I don’t have to do anything to gain weight-just get up in the morning. I recently had surgery on my arm and ate hardly anything at all for 3 days. I gained 4 lbs. My thyroid is fine. This is just awful.

DK, it's never too late. Angie says she only started skincare at 51 and states more than once during this video that changes were only gradual. I understand what you mean about the information available being overwhelming. What works for me personally is this: (1) work on one thing until you find something that works for you, then move on to something else. You can always circle back and do more work on the first thing if you want to improve it further. (2) Find a small number of information sources that, after investigating, seem reliable to you and use those as a touchstone. I hope this helps.

Hi Angie! I am going through the exact situation. Thank you for being honest about post menopausal reality and for doing the research behind possible help for this annoying weight gain.

I just turned 60 and I love this video.!! I took my protein up to 100g and fiber up to 30g a day and it was hard!!! But it really helped. The only real vice that I struggle with is cheese. I switched my workout to 3 days of lifting weights and 2-3 days of walking/cardio. Normally, I lifted 2x a week. It held for 55 to 59 and then it didn't work anymore. The fact remains that lifting 10-20 lbs weights is NOT going to bulk you up. Just let it go...it's a myth! I completely support this video. You are awesome! Go, Gurl...Go!

Beautiful❣️ I do the Bio-identical hormone pellets and they rock! Testosterone was key to changing my body. Muscle mass, low body fat, heightened libido… sooo good! Following a Paleo diet changed my life. Dropped my belly fat, all aches and pains disappeared and my sugar cravings… POOF… Gone!😃

May I ask ur age group u were in when u started the hormones? Wondering if I’m to far gone for it to do any good. I have all those side effects 😩

How do you find a specialist? I do HRT right now but does nothing for my libido. Would love to get some of that back and so would my BF. I'm almost 62.

@@ctine882 I know Angie highly recommends Dr Barbara Taylor (menopause barbie on youtube). Perhaps she could help or recommend someone? I don't live in the US. Edit: I just went on Dr Taylor's home page now and I see she does one on one consultations.

Thanks for being so honest! I'm bordering this time in my life and already seeing my body not tolerate my late 30s diet, even though I am VERY active (horse trainer, 45). Five to eight horses per day can't cover up two or three desserts in a day. Sadly. Lol.

Angie I have been struggling for two years with the extra belly fluff and on my legs because of menopause even though I ate a good balanced healthy diet. I have finally figured it out. I just did a 21 day fast and ate only vegetables, no starches, no processed food, no sugar. I felt so great and when my blood tests Came back the numbers were fantastic. Now I eat 80-90 percent veggies similar to your list of “good foods” and only non sugar treats. The weight is coming off and it’s so easy. I feel terrific for the first time in a while. I work out five days a week and incorporate lots of movement throughout my day.

What I find as I’m aging is meat protein has been less appetizing for me. I’m gluten, dairy, soy and nightshade free. I tend to eat the same thing daily out of convenience.I don’t drink coffee or soda and I still have the menopause belly. The struggle is real! Thanks for these tips angie! 💜

I have Celiac disease and found that created belly fat, trying to find things I could eat were all not good for me. I hope you find your path through all these challenges. I will say I did a plan called ideal Protien in my 40s and it was amazing help to me it is a bit costly but got me where I needed to be and now eating kind of like Angie but more to the carnivore side. Best to you.

@@juliecaron7569 I noticed what really helped my belly is cutting dairy out of my diet. However I still have a pooch but honestly that could be because I had a partial hysterectomy at 22, I have to imagine I hit menopause much earlier than most women.

@Mimi N - You may have cut eggs (pastured, organic) from your diet, along with 'dairy'?... if so, you are missing out on one of the most bioavailable, nutritious, and protein rich food sources we can eat. Some are, unfortunately, allergic to eggs, however. But, if you are getting a good amount of quality protein in your diet & lifting weights, that combo should be working for you. If you are finishing your last meal too near your bedtime, that will def. affect your adipose profile. Try starting your meals early a.m. - restricting your 'feeding window' to 6-8 hours/day - make your meals count for protein consumption(!) - (cut out btw. meal snacks). Finish your last meal of the day fairly early eve. & @least 2-3 hrs b/4 bedtime... (8.p.m is a bit 'late' but will work, unless you turn in for the night 'early). And an overnight 'fasting window' of something like 12-16 hours will also help, both with an anti-aging lifestyle and keeping the belly fat off. Also, hydrate with water every day like mad! But, overall, increasing your quality protein, increasing your activity level, lifting weights, and quality sleep...all key in keeping you healthy. Hope this helps😉

@@barbarafairbanks4578 we raise our own free range chickens, I eat eggs but not on a daily basis. I also was raised with a mother who fed us our 3 meals a day within an 8 hour window and it’s just something that always stuck with me. I never eat passed 6pm and usually breakfast is around 10am. I definitely need to start lifting weights, I use to in my 30’s but now that I’m in my 50’s I Had switched to walking and yoga. I always loved lifting so thank you for the reminder to get back to it 😉
