Stop the slow decline before it becomes your new normal. Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, and rising labs don’t happen overnight — they build quietly over time until one day you don’t recognize how you feel anymore. The good news is that the body responds quickly when you give it the right inputs, the right strategy, and the decision to stop settling for “just getting older” as an excuse.

Aging doesn’t mean getting weaker — it means training smarter and stronger.

One of the biggest myths I hear from both men and women is the fear of “getting bulky” from lifting heavy weights. The truth? Muscle is intentional. My physique didn’t happen by accident — it took years of consistent training, structured nutrition, balanced hormones, strategic peptides, and the right supplementation. Simply lifting heavier weights will not make you bulk up overnight, but it WILL support metabolism, bone density, strength, and longevity.

After 30, we naturally lose muscle if we don’t challenge it. Heavy resistance training is one of the most powerful ways to protect your body as you age — physically, hormonally, and mentally. Train with purpose. Lift with intention. Build a body that carries you forward.

If you’re a woman over 35 wondering why your body suddenly feels different… you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. In this episode of The HealthBuzz, Dr. Cindy Ross sits down with women’s fitness and metabolism expert Danielle Francine to talk honestly about peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause — what’s really happening hormonally, why traditional fitness advice stops working, and how to rebuild strength, energy, and confidence without restriction or burnout.

After nearly two decades in health and fitness, Danielle discovered that women don’t need another diet — they need a revival. Together, we dive into metabolism shifts, hormone harmony, nervous system health, muscle building, and what it truly means to work with your body instead of against it.

✨ If you’ve been feeling stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or disconnected from your body… this conversation is for you. 🔥

In This Episode We Cover:

• Perimenopause vs menopause — what changes and why

• Why “eat less, move more” stops working

• Hormones, metabolism, and midlife weight gain

• Training smarter for women 35+

• Nervous system regulation & fat loss

• Rebuilding confidence and body trust

FOODS THAT SUPPORT LOWER BELLY FAT:

3. Greek yogurt – 1 bowl daily

4. Salmon – 3x weekly

6. Green tea – 2 cups daily

7. Oats – 1 bowl daily

New Study: High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) Accelerates Cancer Tumor Growth Via The Liver. The study, published in the journal Nature, highlights one way in which high levels of fructose consumption promote tumor growth. In a process called interorgan lipid transfer (when fats move between organs and tissues in the body), the liver makes fructose more available to cancer cells by turning it into nutrients in the blood they can use. High fructose intake has also been shown to contribute to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and linked to diabetes, heart disease, and colorectal cancer.

That's not all. HFCS is made from insecticidal GMO corn (corn that produces a toxic insecticide within every cell of the plant) that's doused with carcinogenic glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D and/or dicamba herbicides. This toxic junk really should be illegal.
