Your heart health isn’t “just cardio.”
For women in perimenopause and menopause, heart symptoms and risk can shift because of more than workouts or cholesterol. Stress physiology, inflammation, sleep quality, and hormone changes all influence vascular function, blood pressure, and how resilient your nervous system is day to day.
That’s why we look at the whole picture:
food that supports circulation and cardiometabolic health
stress regulation + recovery (HRV is a helpful clue)
strength + movement that builds fitness without burnout
If you’ve been tired but can’t sleep, feeling “wired,” noticing more belly weight, or recovering slower than you used to—this is worth paying attention to.
