Dr Lucy Burns sits down with Clio Austin, an exercise physiologist, scientist, and women's health specialist, to talk about what women in midlife actually need to do to protect their bones, build muscle, and stay strong for life. You'll learn why the cardio-and-calorie-cutting approach so many women default to in perimenopause is working against them, and what the science says to do instead. Clio also busts the "I'll get bulky" myth, explains the link between falling oestrogen and all those mysterious aches and pains, and shares why strength training is the single best investment a woman can make in her future health. If you've ever wondered why your body feels different and what to actually do about it, this one's for you.
