Are your workouts working with your hormones—or against them? In this energizing episode of Vitality Made Simple, Dr. Debbie Ozment, DDS, MS, sits down with Debra Atkinson, founder of Flipping 50 and a pioneer in hormone-smart fitness, to unpack what it takes to stay strong, lean, and energized through perimenopause and postmenopause.Debra shares her unexpected journey from aspiring artist to fitness trailblazer, revealing how her personal and professional experiences reshaped her approach to women’s health. She explains why traditional fitness advice often fails midlife women and how hormonal changes necessitate a more intelligent, personalized approach.Listeners will learn how strength training, strategic high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and proper recovery can help reverse muscle and bone loss—and why less can sometimes be more. Debra also dives into the science gaps in exercise research, the critical role of protein in every meal, and how to ditch the “no pain, no gain” mentality for something that actually works: “no pain, no brain.”Whether you're 40 or 60+, this conversation offers empowering, research-backed guidance to help you move through life feeling strong, supported, and hormonally aligned.  You can find Debra and her incredible resources at www.flippingfifty.com. Visit my website DrDebbieOzment.com for valuable free downloads.
