00:00Women over 40 trying to stay fit, eating clean and yet feeling like things are slipping out of
00:07control, then this is for them. Because there are two silent saboteurs working against them,
00:14often without them even realizing. Overtraining and under-eating. Let's start with overtraining.
00:22Many women at this stage believe they are not training enough, that the fat gain means they
00:28need to push harder. So they start doing more intense, more frequent workouts than ever before.
00:36But here's the truth. The body after 40 doesn't recover the way it used to. Blame the dip in
00:44estrogen, your natural anti-inflammatory hormone. As estrogen and progesterone levels shift,
00:51they impact how fast you recover, how well the muscles repair, how the joints feel and even
00:58how you manage stress.
