Midlife Muscle with Dr. Taylor and Caroline Pope

In this conversation, Dr. Taylor Pope and Caroline Pope, owners of Chain Effect in Raleigh, join Dr. Polly Watson for a discussion on the importance of strength training, nutrition, and stress management during perimenopause and menopause. They emphasize that individuals can continue to build strength at any age and highlight the significance of adequate protein intake for muscle development. The discussion also covers the impact of stress on sleep patterns and introduces vagal toning as a method to enhance relaxation. Additionally, they explore the challenges women face during perimenopause, including the effects of alcohol on health and sleep.

 

Quotes

  • “If you can maintain your muscle mass and have really solid blood sugar control, we could stop a lot of disease in its tracks before it happens.” Dr. Polly Watson
  • “You can get stronger at any age, so unless you're at your absolute top threshold, you have a lot of room to grow in strength every single year.” Dr. Taylor Pope
  • “You're not going to build muscle if you're not eating enough protein, enough fuel for the exercise.” Caroline Pope
