Are women being sold a myth about fitness during menopause? Michelle MacDonald sits down with Dr. Allan Bacon—a former surgeon turned physique coach—for a frank, science-backed conversation on women’s health and fitness, the damaging fads targeting midlife women, and the importance of cultivating a healthy mindset over quick fixes. They explore the psychological traps of crash diets, the false promises of hormone-focused programs, and the influence of social media pseudoscience. Dr. Bacon breaks down how personal growth comes from evidence-based training, not magical shortcuts, and offers empowering truths about body composition, strength training, and navigating menopause with resilience and logic.
