Perimenopause isn’t just aging—it’s a complex hormonal shift that affects your metabolism, mood, brain function, and more.
📌 Comment “HORMONES” for my Hormones 101 course & start balancing your hormones the right way!
If you feel like your body is working against you, here’s why:
🩺 What’s Actually Changing?
⚡ Estrogen & progesterone decline unevenly → Irregular cycles, mood swings, & weight gain.
⚡ Cortisol increases → More stress = more belly fat & poor sleep.
⚡ Muscle loss accelerates → Slower metabolism & weaker bones.
⚡ Insulin resistance worsens → Blood sugar crashes, cravings, & fat storage.
⚡ Brain function shifts → Less estrogen = brain fog, anxiety, & memory issues.
❌ Why Traditional Diet & Exercise Stop Working:
• Eating less & doing more cardio slows metabolism.
• Skipping meals raises cortisol, leading to more fat storage.
• Ignoring protein & strength training makes weight gain worse.
• Relying only on labs? ‘Normal’ doesn’t mean optimal.
💡 How to Work WITH Your Hormones (Not Against Them!):
✅ Eat 25-30g of protein per meal to support metabolism.
✅ Lift weights 2-3x per week to preserve muscle & improve insulin sensitivity.
✅ Manage cortisol with morning sunlight, movement, & stress management.
✅ Optimize hormone levels—HRT may help when lifestyle isn’t enough.
✅ Track symptoms, not just labs—your body will tell you what it needs.
🔥 Perimenopause is 100% manageable when you understand the science. Stop fighting your body—start working with it.
