If you’ve been feeling like your body suddenly stopped responding the way it used to… my new 100% free podcast masterclass series is for you! (Link in bio)

And honestly? It will explain a lot.

If you’re an active woman or noticing:

• belly bloat

• energy crashes

• stubborn body composition changes

• poor sleep

• worsening recovery

• increased cravings

• hormone chaos despite “doing everything right”

…your body is NOT failing you.

Your female physiology is changing — and it’s asking you to fuel, train, recover and live differently to support it.

In this fiery, honest and validating episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause, I break down what ambitious active women actually need to understand about:

✔️ hormone shifts

✔️ & stress physiology

✔️ metabolism changes

✔️ gut health & lower core bloating

✔️ cravings & blood sugar

✔️ recovery & performance

✔️ why generic advice often stops working in perimenopause

You’ll finally understand WHY so many smart, disciplined women feel frustrated trying harder while getting fewer results.

And we’ll laugh a little too — because sometimes the absurdity of female physiology in midlife with endless fads and B.S. marketing deserves it. 😅

The exciting part?

Once you understand what your changing body actually needs, you can stop fighting it and start working with it again.

That’s where energy, strength, confidence, performance & vibrant health thrive.

Holy wow!! We are still in awe, incredibly grateful & SO damn proud! 🩷💪🏃🏽‍♀️

We chatted the whole time, fully going out with intentions to just run for fun

No traditional taper this week, only one meal of carb loading, 2 strong lower body lifts this past week & more minimal than usual race day fueling (b/c no intentions to race all-out).

This goes to show Jen is in even better shape than the time she ran because with the proper approach she’d likely have run even stronger.

And that running Goal Pace miles is so much harder to do alone than with a buddy. 😊

Apparently, with our new Breaking Through Wellness training methods in our Badass Health, Body Recomp & Physique Plan that supports optimal hormone production in - when we truly adjust & honor our body’s needs to accommodate for high life stress & our changing hormones - Bam! 🔥

absolutely crushed the Cleveland Half Marathon today with a 1:57. That’s her PR from Wineglass!!! 😱

AND these were horrible race conditions: the temp creeped up to 70 degrees, direct sun with about 80% humidity.

My fav part: Her goal pace was a 8:50 & she ran her 11th mile at a 8:25 because we realized how close she was to the PR despite all of our fun & said, “Well f*ck, let’s go!” I told her, “I think you are going to PR this race style” 🤣

& that, she did!!

Plus - I can’t ignore the visible progress in our strong, fit physiques since October, which is truly so freaking fun to see what our fierce female body can do when we support it with female-specific science & simplicity 🩷.

Tune into the Maximizing Hormones, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause podcast to hear how we adjusted when life stress got incredibly high during this training cycle. So many takeaways other ambitious active women need to hear.

Per usual, support our female body & simply amazing things can happen!

I need you to hear this: Your strongest, healthiest, most capable body can still be ahead of you.

Not in spite of or menopause…

but by learning how to work with your changing body.

I just released a powerful podcast where I break this down—and I want you to listen with an open mind, because this is where things can truly shift for you.

👉 Link to listen in comments below.

Inside, I’m walking you through what it actually takes for active women and to feel strong, energized and confident again in midlife.

And yes—it is 100% possible for you.

But here’s the truth most women aren’t being told:

It may not be about chasing your old PRs.

It’s definitely not about doing more, pushing harder or eating less!

It’s about redefining what “peak” looks like now—and building a body that is:

💪Strong yet balanced, focused and calm
🏃🏽‍♀️Energized (without living in burnout)
💪Injury-resilient
💃🏼Capable of supporting the vibrant active life, fit physique and happy, joy-filled you love for decades

In this episode, I discuss how to:

✅Work with your hormones instead of fighting them
✅Fuel properly so your body actually responds
✅Build strength that supports performance and longevity
✅Manage stress and understand (this is a big one most overlook)
✅Shift your focus from weight → to body recomposition, muscle, tendon and lifelong bone health

Because the goal isn’t just to “get leaner.”

It’s to become a woman who feels strong, capable and fully in control of her body again.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, stuck, or like things “just aren’t working anymore”…

This will click for you.

And as you listen, I want you to keep this in mind:

Nothing is wrong with you. You are smart, capable and strong - but just haven’t been given the right strategy for this phase of life.

Once you have that?

Everything changes.

I’m right here with you—and I’d love to help you take this even further when you’re ready.

- Louise 💪 ok
