The question asked wasn’t exactly how do I choose supplements but because it comes close to the question I wish someone would have asked and I think it is a valuable 3-step process, that’s the episode topic. One of our members asked a great question:

“If I'm eating three eggs every day, do I still need Fortetropin? And how do Fortetropin, Mitopure, creatine, and essential amino acids all fit together?”

There are several questions on how I choose supplements, wrapped into that one, so let's unpack them one at a time.

Questions We Answer in This Episode:

[06:24–07:10] What problem are you actually trying to solve with supplements?

[14:59–19:47] Are three eggs a day the same as taking Fortetropin?

[19:47–29:41] When does Fortetropin make sense for women over 50?

[29:41–36:42] Do you need both Fortetropin and Mitopure?

[36:42–39:45] Where do essential amino acids fit when protein falls short?

[39:52–43:54] Does creatine really help women build muscle?

[48:36–51:56] How do you know which supplements are actually worth taking?

Menopause fitness researchers can help you separate the science from the endless stream of fitness advice aimed at women in midlife.

But here’s the catch: even highly respected researchers don’t always agree, and that doesn’t necessarily mean someone is wrong.

In this episode, you’ll meet several leading voices, learn where their research overlaps and differs, and get a better filter for deciding what deserves your attention. The goal isn’t to blindly follow an expert—it’s to become a smarter consumer of fitness information.

By the end, you’ll know exactly how to use menopause fitness researchers as a guide without letting another expert—or another viral post—do your thinking for you.

These are the perimenopause rules nobody told you—and they might be exactly what your workouts have been missing.

The key isn't automatically doing more. It's learning how to adjust training based on recovery, effort, experience, nutrition, and your changing physiology.

The episode outlines five perimenopause rules nobody told you and explains why flexibility may matter more than following a rigid workout formula.
