The Only 6 Exercises Women in Menopause Need to Build Muscle Back | Ep. 409
The WarriorBabe Show with Nikkiey StottShow Notes
In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down what no one explained when menopause started - estrogen was quietly maintaining your muscle mass behind the scenes, and now that it’s gone, you’re losing roughly 1% of your muscle per year while the scale stays the same and your body looks completely different. She shows you the only six compound movements that actually reverse what menopause is doing to your body (goblet squat, Romanian deadlift, bent over row, overhead press, che...

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down the most researched supplement in existence - and why the women who need it most are the ones not taking it. She walks through what creatine actually is (not a steroid, not artificial, not just for bodybuilders), debunks the 4 biggest myths keeping women over 40 away from it (bulking, bloating, cycling, “it’s only for men”), and explains why women in perimenopause and post-menopause stand to benefit even more than young men do - fr...
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.

In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, you’ll hear from three real women in their late 40s, 50s, and 60s who completely changed their bodies - not by restricting calories, cutting carbs, or running themselves into the ground on a treadmill. Bryn lost over 25 lbs and went from a size 8-10 to a size 6 at 58 years old while eating over 2000 calories and 240g of carbs a day. A 60-year-old WarriorBabe is now seeing muscle definition she never thought was possible and is actively working toward h...
In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down the 5 most common protein mistakes she sees women over 40 making every single day - and why fixing them is the difference between protein that actually builds muscle and protein that’s just a number on a tracking app. She covers why most women are eating roughly half the protein their body actually needs after 40 (and why what felt like “enough” 10 years ago no longer cuts it thanks to anabolic resistance), why dumping all your pro...
