This is a short intro about who I am and how I designed the course.
I hope you understand my English :-) and you enjoy the course!
If you are a visual learner like me, I highly recommend to print out the handbook to make notes :-)
Explore how menopausal hormones influence metabolism and weight management for fitness professionals. Learn the difference between basal metabolic rate and total metabolism and how to calculate proper calorie intake.
Explore how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, ghrelin, leptin, and thyroid influence weight loss in pre or perimenopausal and menopausal women, and how hormones work as a team.
Boosts glucose and insulin in response to stress, driven by cortisol. Promotes fat breakdown while increasing abdominal fat storage and reducing bone formation.
Describe how insulin lowers blood glucose and stores energy as fat or liver glycogen, and how glucagon raises glucose via liver glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis triggered by Crellin.
Explain how insulin resistance develops when cells stop responding to insulin, causing the pancreas to produce more insulin to manage rising blood glucose.
Understand how hormones influence menopause and weight loss, and why calorie deficit alone is only part of the puzzle; combine cardio, weights, and individualized approaches for each woman.
Identify factors sabotaging weight loss in menopause, including emotional eating and inaccurate calorie tracking. Advise balancing cardio with resistance training, stress management, and seeking medical help when needed.
