Whole Health Weekly Ep. 82: The Menopause Strength Shift w/ Sheila Wood, Betty's Box BC

About this episode

This week on Whole Health Weekly, Dr. Jeromy sits down with Sheila Wood, founder of Betty's Box BC — a Battle Creek gym built specifically for women navigating strength, mobility, and hormonal change at every stage of life. Sheila is a retired educator turned CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, endurance athlete, and HYROX racer who built Betty's Box around a simple mission: helping women who feel intimidated by traditional gyms discover that strength training is accessible at any age — especially through the peri-menopause and post-menopause years, when the old playbook stops working. In this conversation, we dig into: ✅ Why strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s stop producing results as hormones shift ✅ How strength training protects bone density, muscle mass, and long-term independence ✅ Building a gym community where women feel welcomed, not intimidated ✅ Sheila's own journey into coaching — and what "training like a Betty" really means Whether you're just getting started or looking for a smarter way to train through midlife and beyond, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical takeaways. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: 📺 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@theprizeinsideyou 📡 Rumble → https://rumble.com/c/c-6407807 📩 Substack → https://tribe1.substack.com 🐦 Follow on X → https://x.com/JeromyMyers2 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/68J4ZH9RIUlDKaiOzq1erV?si=ad80bffd3dda4c12 New episodes dropping regularly — follow so you never miss one.
