    The Holly Perkins Health Podcast

    If you’re a woman over 35 and feel like your body isn’t responding the way it used to… you’re not imagining it. Your workouts may not be working anymore. Your energy levels might feel unpredictable. And the advice you’ve followed for years often seems designed for someone else entirely. So what would it be like if you finally understood what your body actually needs now?

    I’m Holly Perkins, women’s health expert, strength coach, and a specialist in nutrition for women with over 30 years in practice helping women build lean muscle, improve energy levels, and feel strong in their bodies again.

    Each week The Holly Perkins Health Podcast breaks down the real science behind women over 35 fitness, menopause workouts, how to track macros, and health after 50, and turn it into simple, realistic steps you can actually use in your life. Because it’s not necessary to spend hours in the gym or follow extreme diets to feel better.

    Inside this podcast, you’ll find honest conversations and practical strategies around:
    – Workout tips and toning workouts that actually work for your body
    – How to build lean muscle for women without burnout
    – Smart, sustainable clean eating tips including protein for women, and creatine for women
    – The truth about mental health, stress, and how they impact your body
    – How to restore and protect the energy levels women want in midlife

    You might find that when you shift your focus from weight loss to strength, everything starts to change to the point where your body begins to feel like it’s working with you again.

    This podcast is here to help you feel strong, capable, and confident so you can fully show up for your life. Because when you build strength the right way… you’re not just changing your body. You’re creating the body you NEED to keep up with the life you LOVE.

    Injections and Physical Therapy Didn't Work But *This* Did Nov 26, 2024
    Show notes

    In today’s incredible episode, I chat with my inspiring client Karen, the grand prize transformation winner from the first round of The Body Composition Project! When Karen joined the program, she was dealing with constant back and neck pain that felt impossible to manage. Physical therapy and back injections? Didn’t help. But through The Body Composition Project, she became nearly pain-free and completely transformed her body and mindset. If you're stuck in your fitness journey or dealing with chronic pain, you won't want to miss this!

    Karen shares what it was like before her transformation – her struggles with diets, jumping from program to program, and feeling skeptical about trying something new. She discusses how she faced her fears, realized that change is possible at any age, and made simple shifts in her diet that worked without giving up the foods she loves. And you'll hear her DEXA scan results prove it all!

    Strength Training for Women Exercises + Weight Loads Every Woman Needs Oct 15, 2024
    Show notes

    With 30 years of experience in fitness, I can confidently say that strength training for women is the foundation of a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. Your musculoskeletal system governs everything – from how you move, to aging and fitness, to your energy levels and mood. It even plays a huge role in preventing injuries! That’s why preserving muscle mass and bone density as we age is absolutely crucial.

    In today’s episode, I break down 4 essential exercises to support your strength and bone health journey. I explain how to perform each one and share the ideal long-term target weight loads. Plus, I dive into the research behind the connection between muscle mass and bone density and highlight why progressive overload and pushing yourself in the gym are key to building and maintaining that precious muscle.

    Episode 43 Topics Covered:

    The importance of preserving your muscle mass and bone density

    Proof strength training empowers you

    The role of strength training on musculoskeletal health as you age

    Why it’s never too late to start strength training

    How to achieve progressive overload

    Barbell back squat

    Bulgarian split squat

    Barbell bench press

    Romanian deadlift
