How Resistance Training Rewires Your Gut Microbiome, Muscles, and Bones

A healthier gut bacterial balance
Improved metabolic health and energy
Stronger bones and long-term skeletal protection
Weight regulation through shifts in gut bacteria
You’ll learn:
What the Firmicutes–Bacteroidetes ratio is and why it matters
How resistance training can shift the microbiome toward a leaner, healthier profile
Why muscle acts as a metabolic organ that communicates directly with your gut
How strength training supports bone health through the microbiome
Why this is especially important during midlife, perimenopause, and post-menopause
This talk breaks down the science in a clear, practical way and offers simple, realistic strategies for incorporating resistance training into your routine—no gym membership required.
