You’re walking 10,000 steps a day… and still losing muscle in menopause? 😳
At Three D Wellness, we LOVE movement—Dr. Sonza even walks daily with a weighted vest (because she practices what she teaches 💪). But here’s the part most women don’t hear:
✨ Walking alone isn’t enough to protect muscle in menopause.
Here’s why:
• Estrogen drops → muscle breaks down faster
• Cardio without enough protein → your body looks for fuel… and muscle becomes an option
• Your body needs a signal to keep muscle → strength + protein
💡 Weighted walking helps (that added resistance matters)… but it still needs backup.
Cardio is great for your heart… but it doesn’t protect your muscle by itself.
If you’re not pairing your steps with enough protein and strength work, your body may be pulling from your own muscle.
At Three D Wellness, we don’t guess—we guide you with a plan that supports your metabolism, hormones, AND muscle.
