The Truth About Fasting and Muscle (Especially in Perimenopause)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re fasting, under-eating, or relying on shakes—and not seeing results—this episode explains why.
When it comes to muscle, energy, and hormones, especially during perimenopause, your body needs fuel. And most women aren’t getting enough.
In this episode, we break down:
- Why fasting works against muscle building
- How under-eating impacts energy, metabolism, and hormones
- Why protein alone isn’t enough
- What’s really happening when your body converts protein into energy
- Why meal-replacement shakes often fall short
This isn’t a discipline problem—it’s a physiology problem.
If you’ve been working hard but not seeing progress, this will help you understand why—and what actually works instead.
At Evolved Women’s Health, we help women align nutrition, training, and hormones so their body can finally respond.
