あらすじ・解説
In this episode, I'm diving into how alcohol affects muscle growth, metabolism and overall body composition, especially for women over 40.
I'll break down the science behind muscle protein synthesis and discuss the detrimental effects of alcohol on this process.
Learn how alcohol disrupts your hormones, impairs sleep and recovery and negatively impacts your metabolism, making it harder to see results from your workouts.
I'll also share specific tips for women in perimenopause and menopause to help build muscle and improve body composition.
Join me as we explore why taking a break from alcohol might be the key to achieving your fitness goals.
