Built for Strength After 40: A Christian Woman's Guide to Building Muscle, Supporting Metabolism, Renewing the Mind, and Stewarding Her Health
A Christian Woman's Guide to Building Muscle, Supporting Metabolism, Renewing the Mind, and Stewarding Her Health
Stop shrinking.
Start building strength.
If
you're a woman over 40 struggling with changing metabolism, muscle
loss, stubborn body fat, declining energy, perimenopause, menopause, or
confusing nutrition advice, you're not alone—and you're not broken.
The truth is, your body isn't working against you.
It may simply need a different strategy.
In
Built for Strength After 40, author, educator, and faith and fitness
leader Sheryl Gomes, MS, combines more than 25 years of experience in
fitness and wellness, a Master's degree in Counseling and Human
Development, current scientific research, and biblical truth to help
women build strength from the inside out.
This is not another diet book.
It is not another 30-day challenge.
It is not another program built around guilt, restriction, or chasing a smaller body.
Instead,
you'll learn how to build muscle, support your metabolism, improve your
nutrition, strengthen your bones, renew your mind, and steward the body
God has entrusted to you.
Drawing from her own journey—from
childhood epilepsy and physical limitations to fitness competitions,
carrying twins, divorce, financial collapse, alcohol, burnout, recovery,
and ultimately discovering that true strength is found in Christ—Sheryl
offers practical, compassionate guidance for women who want lasting
health instead of another temporary solution.
Inside you'll discover how to:
• Build lean muscle through practical resistance and strength training
• Increase protein without overcomplicating nutrition
• Understand why fiber is essential for digestion, satiety, blood sugar, gut health, and long-term wellness
• Learn the science behind creatine, recovery, and healthy aging
• Separate myths about cortisol and "cortisol belly" from evidence-based research
• Navigate perimenopause and menopause with wisdom instead of fear
• Support bone health, balance, mobility, and independence as you age
• Create sustainable habits that work in real life—not just for thirty days
• Renew your thinking through biblical principles that transform your relationship with food, fitness, and your body
• Stop living by the scale and start measuring what truly matters
This
book bridges faith and science, combining resistance training,
nutrition, mindset, nervous system regulation, sleep, stress management,
and biblical stewardship into one practical roadmap designed
specifically for women in midlife.

strength training, rebuilding your health after years of dieting, or
