Protein, Hormones, and Heavy Weights: A Guide for Women | The Deep Six | Episode 51

This week on The Deep Six, Dr. Lewerenz sits down with his wife and Longevity Health Institute health coach Victoria Robinson-Lewerenz for a candid conversation about something affecting nearly every woman they see: bone loss, muscle loss, and the habits that either protect you or cost you everything later. Victoria breaks down why women do too much cardio and not enough strength training, how to add without taking anything away, and why training your legs two to three times a week is the single biggest lever most women are not pulling. They also get into the GLP-1 problem, what happens when powerful weight loss peptides are used without guidance or in the wrong patient, and why the combination of resistance training, adequate protein, and hormone replacement is backed by some of the most compelling data in women's health right now. Practical, personal, and long overdue.
