126. Menopause Myths, Body Changes & The Truth About Strength Training with Ren Jones

Think menopause is all about suffering in silence? Think again! We’re bringing back the Menopause Man himself, Ren Jones. Ren Jones was on episode 64 of the podcast, and he dropped wisdom that had us rethinking everything. Ren is a certified personal trainer specializing in menopause health, fitness, and nutrition, helping women over 30 feel strong, confident, and at home in their bodies.

In this episode:

Why mourning your "younger self" keeps you stuck—and what to do instead
The real reason strength training is a non-negotiable (hint: it’s not about weight loss)
Why eating more might actually be the key to feeling better
The sneaky ways diet culture and wellness culture manipulate women—especially in midlife
The total nonsense of “hormone balancing”

Ren doesn’t just talk the talk—he’s on a mission to empower women to take back their health without the gimmicks. Expect a mix of science, straight talk, and serious laughs (because if you’re not laughing through midlife, what are you even doing?).
