In this episode, Louise and Amy address a deeply personal and relatable question from one podcast listener, “R,” who is navigating the complex challenges of fitness, fat loss and hormone balance during perimenopause. She opens up about her struggle with symptoms after hormone damage due to fasting, having achieved fat loss but unfortunately alongside muscle loss, energy depletion and the loss of her menstrual cycle—all while managing a highly active lifestyle.

Louise, as one of the world’s leading health, fitness and performance experts, together with co-practitioner Amy, take a thoughtful and holistic approach to understanding the root causes behind these issues, diving into the physiological shifts that occur during perimenopause and how they impact overall health.
