“Resistance training and protein are the new fountain of youth.” — Dr. Ian Smith
What changes about the way we should eat and exercise during menopause—and for all the decades that follow?
In this episode of AGE BETTER, I sit down with physician and bestselling author Dr. Ian K. Smith for a lively, practical conversation about his new book, The New Menopause Kitchen. We talk about the nutrients that become especially important during and after menopause, why he created a flexible 10-week eating plan, and how Rachael Ray’s recipes turn those nutritional principles into real food you’ll actually want to eat.
But this isn’t just a conversation about food. Dr. Ian believes nutrition and exercise are a “one-two punch,” which is why the book also includes his Meno-Cise exercise plan—with a particular focus on maintaining muscle, protecting bone, and making movement doable and sustainable.
