GLP-1 Muscle Loss After 50: The Menopause Myth That...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/10/06

GLP-1 muscle loss is the part of the story most women over 50 never hear. In big studies on these medications, up to 40% of the weight people lost was lean mass, not fat. If you're in menopause and the scale is finally moving, this is your sign to protect your muscle and bone, not to coast. In this Menopause Myths episode, I bust the myth that a dropping scale means you can skip the gym. You'll learn why the quality of your weight loss matters more than the speed, why women after 50 are at h...

How to Lose Menopause Belly Fat: The Fasting Myth...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/09/29

If you want to know how to lose menopause belly fat, the answer probably is not more fasting. After 50, skipping meals and training fasted can be the very thing keeping the belly fat on. In this Menopause Myths episode of the Midlife Method with Cam Allen, we bust one of the biggest myths about belly fat in menopause: that fasting harder melts it. You will learn why under-fueling reads as a famine to a midlife body, how that raises your stress hormone and stores fat around your middle,...

Menopause Belly Fat: The Gut Fix You Need to Know...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/09/22

Menopause belly fat is not always fat. Sometimes your middle feels tight because your gut has slowed down, not because you gained weight overnight. In part three of the belly fat series, I walk through gut health in menopause: why lower estrogen and progesterone slow your digestion, how a leaky gut and inflammation puff up your waistband, what GLP-1s are really doing in there, and the simple way to calm the whole thing down. Then we talk about the other kind of gut. Gut feelings. Because in ...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/09/15

Deep belly fat can climb from about 5 to 8 percent of your body fat before menopause to much higher after, and it can happen even when the scale barely moves. Your body did not get lazy. Three hormones redrew the map. In part two of this three-part series on midlife belly fat, I walk through estrogen, cortisol, and insulin, how they gang up to store fat in your middle, and the five signals of safety that turn the whole loop around: build muscle, walk after dinner, protect your sleep, fuel wi...

Menopause Belly Fat, Part 1: Why More Cardio Isn't...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/09/08

If your menopause belly won't budge no matter how much cardio you do, the exercise itself might be the problem. In Part 1 of this two-part series I share the three exercise mistakes feeding belly fat after 50, and the strength-first fix that actually works. You cannot spot reduce. No crunch, plank, or ab gadget melts fat off one spot. What actually moves the needle is building muscle, because muscle is where your body parks and burns glucose. You will learn why too much steady cardio, too m...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/09/01

Protein is the missing piece for building and holding muscle after 50, and most midlife women are not getting close to enough. In this episode I break down why protein matters more in menopause, how much you actually need, and the simple ways I get more into every single meal. I spent over a decade as a vegetarian, then a pescatarian, before my body started asking for something different in menopause. In this episode I share that story and the honest truth about why I do not believe I could ...

Blood Sugar After 50: 2 Habits That Lower It Without...

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/08/25

Blood sugar and belly fat in midlife are the same story, and your muscle is the reason why. In this episode of The Midlife Method I share the 3 blood sugar lab numbers I track after 50, the 2 glucose hacks I use every time I eat, and what I saw when I wore a continuous glucose monitor on my own arm. Here is the big idea. Your muscle soaks up around 80% of the sugar from your food, and it can do it without leaning on insulin, your fat storage hormone. The more muscle you carry after 50, the m...

Strong Bones After Menopause: My DexaFit Results at 56

2026/08/18

Can short strength workouts really protect your bone density after menopause? Last year at 56, almost seven years past surgical menopause, I got my first DexaFit scan to find out, and the results genuinely surprised me. In 2024 I was recovering from a car accident, we were mid-move, and my strength training fell off completely. By Christmas the scale was at an all-time high and I did not recognize myself. This episode is the full story of what I changed in 2025 and what my bone scan showed a...

Stop Doing Follow-Along Workouts If You're in Menopause

The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® ·

2026/07/28

Most workouts on YouTube are a race to keep up with someone who has no idea what your body is actually going through in menopause. That constant comparison isn't motivating you. It's quietly telling your brain to give up. In this episode, I'm breaking down why follow-along workouts work against you in menopause, and giving you a simple two-move upper body workout you can do at your own pace, with as much rest as you need. In this episode: → Why the follow-along clock is a trap for women in ...

In this video, I'm walking you through 5 signs your body is ready for more weight after 50. Some of these you can count. Some are just a feeling, a knowing in your body.
