EPISODE 1
THE WAR NOBODY TALKS ABOUT — AND WHY SLEEP IS A HORMONAL SYSTEM
The Women's Edition opens with what the standard fitness narrative gets wrong about women over 50, then goes deep on sleep as a hormonal system — not just a recovery variable. Estrogen, progesterone, and the specific sleep enemies that matter most for women in their 50s and 60s. The Women's Sleep Protocol in full.
EPISODE 2
HOW TO FUEL A POST-MENOPAUSAL ATHLETE
Chapters 2 and 2B — the three metabolic shifts that accompany menopause and what they mean for nutrition, plus the supplement protocol with specific postmenopausal evidence. The Foundation Four with female-specific research, calcium citrate and bone protection, and what's overhyped.
EPISODE 3
MOVE EVERY DAY — AND THE MUSCLE YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE
Chapters 3 and 4 — daily movement and resistance training for postmenopausal women. The 2022 study showing 41 percent higher all-cause mortality in postmenopausal women with low muscle mass, the critical bone density window in the first five years post-menopause, and the weekly strength template.
EPISODE 4
ENDURANCE PROTECTS THE BRAIN AND COMPETITION IS MEDICINE
Chapters 5 and 6 — the neuroprotective case for aerobic exercise after menopause, Zone 2 and the cortisol management differences in postmenopausal women, and why pulling back from competition as you age is exactly wrong. The ikigai research and what masters women are doing at 60, 65, and 70.
EPISODE 5
THE MIND, MENOPAUSE, AND THE WEEKLY BATTLE PLAN
