The Silent Muscle Loss No One Warns Women About
Women lose muscle at a faster rate than men after 40. According to Harvard research, women can lose 1–2% of muscle mass per year after age 50, accelerating weakness, fatigue, and weight gain.
But this isn’t about aesthetics — muscle protects bone density, blood sugar, and metabolism. Without enough muscle, simple tasks feel harder, and injuries become more common.
Strength training twice a week, eating 80–100g of protein daily, and adding creatine can dramatically reverse this trend. In clinical trials, creatine improved muscular strength in over 70% of midlife women.
You’re not “getting weak.” You’re being under-fueled and under-supported — and that can change.
