Summary

Bill Campbell, PhD, has spent his entire career as a fat loss researcher. So when his wife hit menopause and wanted help with body composition changes, he thought it would be easy. Spoiler alert: It was not. Which made him realize his field had a lot to learn, especially about active women whose bodies change even when their training and nutrition has not. Now he’s on a mission, diving into the literature and conducting research of his own to further our understanding of body composition changes during this time of life. We talk all about it, what he’s learned, and his work developing a Female Fitness Menopause Survey to learn more.

Bill Campbell, PhD is a Professor of Exercise Science and Director of the Performance and Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida. He is also a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist from the National Strength & Conditioning Association and former president of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (where he is also 1 of 35 individuals to be recognized as a ‘Fellow’ of the organization—an honor reserved for those individuals who have outstanding contributions to the field of sports nutrition). He has published over 200 scientific papers and abstracts, three textbooks, and 20 book chapters in areas related to physique enhancement, sports nutrition, resistance training, and dietary supplementation.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help
0:21.2	you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.

0:34.6	So I have a great one for you this week.
0:37.0	I had the pleasure of sitting down with
0:39.3	Dr. Bill Campbell, a longtime fat loss researcher who I've been following for many years and have
0:45.5	quoted lots of his research during my time as a journalist for magazines like fitness and bicycling
0:50.8	and women's health and all of those. And recently, I noticed that he was talking a whole lot about menopause on his Instagram
0:59.5	and that he's been working on a female fitness menopause survey.
1:04.1	And I thought, huh, that's new for Bill.
1:07.1	I should see if he wants to come on the show.
1:09.5	And I dropped him a line and he said yes, and we had a great conversation.
1:14.9	He talks all about how he got into this space during the interview, so I'll let you hear him tell
1:20.4	that for himself.
1:21.8	But my big takeaway that I would love to beam into space is that he admits how even though he has been a fat
1:30.1	loss researcher for much of his accomplished career, menopause poses challenges he has yet to
1:37.2	fully understand. And I appreciate the hell out of him for publicly talking about this,
1:44.1	because we get way too many messages
1:46.5	about how we just need to eat less and move more and it's not really menopause, it's just
