Maximizing Hormones, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause

#76 - Why I Left Social Media to Protect My Health, Hormones & Vibrance


Listen Later

In this heartfelt solo episode, Louise, one of the world’s leading perimenopause fitness experts and integrative health practitioners for everyday female runners age 35 & beyond, opens up about a major shift—taking a big social media break to reclaim her focus, health, next-level fitness, and joy. She reflects on how this decision led to deeper connections within her private community, even better results for her clients, and a renewed sense of purpose. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by information, distracted from the goals that mean the most to you, or disconnected from your body, this conversation is for you!

Louise discusses how stepping away from the constant noise and misleading marketing helped her and her clients achieve incredible physical, emotional, and even spiritual breakthroughs. She explores the pressure of social media, the toll it takes on female confidence—especially in perimenopause—and why simplicity, science, and support matter more than ever. You’ll also hear about real transformation stories, practical hormone optimization and fitness insights, and how to tell if you're a "moderator" or an "abstainer" when it comes to social media and even snacks!

If ready to confidently step into your highest level self in mid-life, this episode will make you stop, think, and realign your own vibrant healthy life.
