In this empowering episode, Lindsey sits down with Ami, The Midlife Muscle Mentor, to unpack what truly happens inside a woman’s body during perimenopause and how strength, mindset, and lifestyle shifts can restore energy and confidence.

They discuss the realities of visceral fat, why the scale is the worst progress tracker, the connection between carbs and nervous system health, and how overtraining—or doing nothing at all—keeps women stuck. Ami shares her signature Lift Method and her two programs, LIFTED and F@ck the Frump!, designed specifically for midlife women who want real results without burnout.

This conversation is deeply validating, practical, and full of hope for women navigating exhaustion, weight changes, and the emotional toll of midlife.

Topic Covered:

• Why workouts need to change in perimenopause

• Visceral fat, waist-to-hip ratio & real health markers

• How under-eating + overtraining wrecks hormones

• Why carbs matter more than ever after 40

• Body composition vs. weight loss

• The Lift Method: intentional strength, smart nutrition, recovery, community

• Starting small: the magic of 20-minute strength sessions

• Stress, boundaries & burnout in midlife

• Coaching for accountability and confidence
