In this short YouTube monologue, health coach JJ Virgin outlines five practical strategies to alleviate common menopause symptoms. She advises (1) increasing movement while wearing a weighted/rucking vest to strengthen bones and boost calorie burn; (2) supplementing with creatine to enhance workout performance, recovery, mood, and cognitive function; (3) taking fish oil for its anti‑inflammatory, brain‑supporting, and potentially anabolic effects; (4) lifting heavy weights to preserve muscle mass; and (5) prioritising protein intake—especially essential amino acids—by eating protein first to maintain or build muscle. She notes that more details will be provided in the video caption and encourages viewers that they don’t have to suffer through menopause.
