Tune in to learn how maintenance can be a powerful tool in achieving lasting results.

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey drops a hot take - perimenopause is real, hormonal changes are real, but a significant portion of what women over 40 are blaming on their hormones is actually the result of a plan that was never going to work regardless.‍She breaks down the real hormonal shifts happening during perimenopause (estrogen declining, fat redistributing to your midsection, muscle becoming harder to protect, insulin sensitivity dropping), then walks through the 4 questions every woman needs to answer honestly before attributing her results to hormones alone - including why most women who go through this checklist find at least 2 or 3 areas where the plan has serious room to improve.‍If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down why the definition of "lean" that most women are chasing was built for a 25-year-old body - and why using that same playbook after 40 is the exact reason nothing is working.‍She explains the invisible hormonal shifts that changed the game (estrogen no longer protecting your muscle, fat redistributing to your midsection, your metabolism running on less), why calorie restriction and high-volume cardio are actively working against you now, and the 4-step approach that actually builds a lean body composition after 40 - including why some women need to stop dieting and start building muscle first before they ever enter a fat loss phase.‍If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!
