Why Has Exercise Stopped Working for You?

About this assessment

Plenty of women reach their mid-forties and find that the training and eating that worked for twenty years suddenly does not. That is not a failure of willpower. Falling oestrogen changes how the body builds muscle, recovers from hard sessions, stores fat and regulates sleep — so the same effort produces a different result.

This assessment asks about your cycle, your energy, your current training, your recovery and your goals, then explains which of those changes is most likely driving what you are experiencing and where the useful starting point is.

It is about understanding the mechanism rather than trying harder at something that has stopped working.
