Should women in perimenopause never train fasted? Are HIIT workouts “too much” for your hormones? Do you really need to sync your workouts with your cycle? In this fiery Coach Confessional, CEO Amanda Tress and FASTer Way Director of Education Le Bergin break down the real science behind fasted workouts, hormones, and all those polarizing posts you're seeing on social media. 

They share exactly what Amanda’s workout and fasting schedule looks like (spoiler: it’s not one-size-fits-all), how to stop second-guessing your routine, and why bio-individuality matters more than ever for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.

If you’re tired of being told what not to do with your body and ready to feel empowered with flexible, proven strategies that actually work, this episode is for you. 

Plus, get an honest look at workouts during your cycle, stress recovery, and why listening to your body will always beat chasing trends.

Grab your coffee (or a dumbbell) and hit play—we’re going there.

Fasted Workouts in Perimenopause—Helpful or Harmful?

Lately, there’s been a wave of “never train fasted in perimenopause” content popping up online. And while we love a good debate, here’s the thing—context matters.

Amanda and Le unpack the science behind this advice and talk about when fasted workouts actually make sense—especially for women working to reduce visceral fat, build muscle, and increase metabolic flexibility.

Are fasted workouts right for everyone? No. Can they be part of a smart, hormone-supportive routine for midlife women? Absolutely. Tune in to find out more and what approach may be best for you.

Do Your Workouts Need to Sync with Your Cycle?

There’s a lot of buzz around cycle-syncing your workouts—and while there’s some fascinating thought behind it, Amanda and Le offer a fresh take: the best way to “sync” your workouts is by listening to your body.

Yes, hormones fluctuate throughout your cycle. Yes, there are times you may feel stronger—or more sluggish. But rather than following a rigid schedule, Amanda shares how to tune into sleep, recovery, and energy cues to decide what your body needs and how to make adjustments accordingly.

Amanda’s Real-Life Fasting + Workout Routine

Curious how the CEO of FASTer Way practices what she preaches? Amanda spills the tea on her current approach to intermittent fasting and training as well as how her schedule changes throughout different times of the year as she juggles 5 kids, a fast-growing business and everyday life. 

What’s the takeaway? There’s no “one-size-fits-all” routine. It’s about creating a rhythm that works for your schedule, your stress levels, and your goals. Listen to the episode to discover how you might adjust your wellness routine to better fit your lifestyle.

The Biggest Mistake Women in Perimenopause Are Making 

Let’s clear this up: you’re not fragile. You’re fierce. The biggest mistake women in perimenopause are making is believing they have to play small, slow down, or opt out of strategies that actually work—just because someone on Instagram said so.

The truth? You need muscle, metabolic resilience, and a customized plan that meets you where you’re at. That might include fasted workouts. It might not. But either way, you get to decide based on how you feel and what’s working—not fear or flashy headlines.

🎧 Ready to ditch the diet dogma and find a strategy that actually works for you?

Listen to this power-packed (and hilarious) episode for a fresh take on midlife fitness, hormones, and what it really takes to feel strong, confident, and in control.

  • If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting advice…
  • If you’re wondering what to do during your period or how to adjust your training in your 40s…
  • If you’re tired of being told what you can’t do…

This episode is your permission slip to trust your body, your strength, and your strategy.
