About this listen
If you’re a woman over 35 struggling with PCOS, this episode is for you! We break down one of the most underrated tools for weight loss and hormone regulation—**muscle hypertrophy** (aka building muscle mass).
We explain exactly what hypertrophy is, why it’s critical for women with PCOS, and how it can transform not only your body but also your hormonal health. You’ll learn how building lean muscle helps with:
🔸 **Boosting Metabolism**—More muscle means you burn more calories, even at rest.
🔸 **Balancing Hormones**—Weight training improves insulin sensitivity, supports progesterone levels, and stabilizes estrogen.
🔸 **Managing PCOS Symptoms**—From reducing cravings and fatigue to improving cycle regularity and mood swings.
🔸 **Sustainable Fat Loss**—No more yo-yo dieting! Building muscle helps you lose fat *and* keep it off.
We also break down the *how-to* of training for hypertrophy, particularly the concept of progressive overload.
Tune in and discover why lifting weights might just be the missing piece to managing your PCOS and feeling your best!
**Listen now and let’s get strong—inside and out! 💪✨
