Today is World Menopause Day, and I want to talk about something I get asked about all the time:
👉 What’s really happening in perimenopause and postmenopause?
Because let’s be honest—it can feel confusing, frustrating, and even discouraging when your body starts responding differently.
✅ Maybe your training isn’t getting the results it used to.
✅ Maybe your go-to nutrition plan stops working.
✅ Maybe your sleep is off, recovery is slower, or your moods are all over the place.
You are NOT doing anything wrong.
You are NOT broken.
You are in a different hormonal phase—and when you understand it, you can work with your body, not against it.
Let’s break it down ⬇️
Perimenopause = the transition.
Hormones (especially estrogen and progesterone) fluctuate unpredictably. One week you feel great, the next… not so much. These ups and downs can affect sleep, energy, muscle recovery, fat storage, mood, and more.
🔁 Your best tools here? Consistency, routine, and structure.
Postmenopause = the new baseline.
Once you’ve gone 12 months without a period, hormone levels drop and stabilize. That means fewer ups and downs (yay), but also less hormonal support for things like muscle mass, metabolism, bone density, and brain health.
⚡ Your best tools here? Intentional training, recovery, and targeted nutrition.
💡 Understanding your hormones means taking back control of your body, your performance, and your mindset—whether you’re navigating this yourself or supporting someone who is.
💬 I’d love to hear from you—what’s been the biggest surprise or challenge for you during this phase?
