Low testosterone in women is real and it can quietly impact your energy, motivation, strength, libido, body composition, and fat loss.

If you feel:

Flat or exhausted
Less driven
Weaker in workouts
Softer around the body
Less confident
Or like progress is slower than it used to be

It can be hormonal especially in perimenopause and menopause.

Testosterone helps maintain muscle, and muscle drives metabolism. When levels drop, it becomes harder to build muscle, burn fat, and feel strong in your body.

You need a hormone aware strategy that supports strength, recovery, nutrition and long-term health.

Weight gain after menopause isn’t about “trying harder.”
It’s about estrogen shifts, insulin sensitivity, muscle loss, sleep disruption, and stress, all of which change how your body stores and burns fat.

That’s why old school dieting often stops working at this stage.
You don’t need more restriction.

Low progesterone doesn’t only affect your cycle , it can impact your anxiety, sleep, mood, cravings, energy, and weight.

If you feel:

More anxious or emotionally reactive
Wired but exhausted
Struggling with sleep or night waking
Craving sugar or carbs
Easily overwhelmed
Or finding weight harder to manage

Progesterone helps calm the nervous system. When it drops, stress hormones rise, sleep worsens, cravings increase, and fat loss becomes harder even when you’re “doing everything right.”

Stress and weight loss seem to go hand in hand, right? You’re doing everything “right” … eating well, exercising, drinking water and yet the scale won’t budge. Or worse, it creeps up.

Let’s talk about why stress might be the sneaky villain here and how to put a stop to it.

When we focus on reducing stress, the weight loss often follows and more importantly, you feel better, calmer, and in control.

If weight loss feels harder after 35, chances are it is your hormones are shifting.

Perimenopause changes how your body stores fat, manages blood sugar, regulates appetite, and responds to stress.

That’s why what used to work (eating less, more cardio, pushing harder) often stops working and can even backfire.

You experience more cravings, stubborn belly fat, fatigue, poor sleep and slower progress.

You need an approach that works with your hormones.

Weight loss drugs aren’t something to shame, they’re a tool.
But a tool only works well when it’s used with the right strategy.

Medication can reduce appetite, but it doesn’t protect your muscle, fix blood sugar, support hormones, or teach sustainable eating. Without a proper plan, people risk losing muscle, slowing metabolism, and rebounding later.

Weight loss isn’t only about calories and if you’ve been blaming yourself, this matters.

Not all calories affect the body the same way.
Food quality changes blood sugar, insulin, hunger, hormones, gut health, and how easily your body stores or burns fat.

That’s why some women track calories, eat less, move more and still feel stuck.

If you want to understand how fat loss actually works in your body, especially in perimenopause, I’ve created a full breakdown inside my course.

If you’re in perimenopause and trying to look after your health, your body, and your sanity, you’ll learn something fast, not everyone is going to like it.

You’ll get opinions about your training, your food, your boundaries, your rest, your choices, your HRT, your weight, your everything.

The loudest critics are often the least qualified... emotionally, physically, or hormonally to be giving advice.

You are allowed to outgrow people, routines, habits, and even old versions of yourself.

You are allowed to choose strength over chaos, clarity over drama, and your health over pleasing everyone.

If someone’s lifestyle doesn’t inspire you, their opinion doesn’t get a seat at your table.

Keep moving forward. Keep building the body and life you want. Let the rest talk.

Perimenopause isn’t a “phase”. It’s a full body shift and most women get told they’re stressed, getting older, or need to “eat less.”

No. Your hormones are changing, and your body responds differently now.

If you’re dealing with sleep problems, anxiety, belly weight, rage, itchy skin, brain fog, or your training feels harder… you’re not broken. You’re in perimenopause territory.

If you want to actually understand what’s happening in your body, I’ve got you.

Melissa walked into my world a year ago exhausted, carrying more than 30 kilos on her body and a whole lot more on her shoulders.

She was done with the quick fixes, done with feeling stuck, and ready for something real. Fast forward twelve months… she’s over 30kg down, stronger, calmer, clearer, and finally living in a body that actually supports her life instead of fighting against it.

She did the work.

She showed up.

And she kept showing up even on the days where motivation was nowhere to be found.

If you’re listening to this and thinking “Why can’t I do that?” … well … you can. Melissa is proof that change at 35, 45, 55… whatever age you are… is absolutely possible when you commit and get the right support.

People love to argue about “leaky gut”.
Meanwhile, your body is living the consequences.

In perimenopause, your gut barrier often gets weaker because fluctuating oestrogen, higher stress, and disrupted sleep all make your intestinal lining more permeable. When that happens, things that should stay in your gut can slip into your bloodstream and trigger inflammation everywhere.

That’s why “gut issues” are rarely isolated. They show up as skin, immune, mood, and autoimmune problems.

Here are 9 health conditions commonly linked with a compromised gut barrier:

9 — Skin issues like eczema
8 — Lupus
7 — Liver conditions
6 — Crohn’s disease
5 — Depression
4 — IBD
3 — Coeliac disease
2 — Asthma
1 — Allergies

If you’ve been told your symptoms are random, stress-related, or “just ageing”, look closer at your gut. It’s often the missing piece.

Your hormones, your nervous system, and your gut are all talking to each other, when one is off, the others follow.
