Are you feeling tired, fatigued? Maybe you’ve got muscle fatigue or weakness? Are you feeling low in mood, depressed, irritable, or anxious?

Whilst these are common symptoms to start to experience during perimenopause, there are other reasons for symptoms like this and it’s important to explore all avenues and not just chalk everything up to your hormones! Getting your B12 levels tested really is “low hanging fruit” because if low B12 is your issue, it’s an easy test and an easy fix!

For some women with PMDD, it can get worse as they move into and through perimenopause. And for some women without PMDD, their PMS can start to present more like PMDD and it may be something to address.

Building muscle might not be something you’ve given much thought to when it comes to solving some of the typical and most troublesome perimenopause symptoms and challenges. But trust me, building muscle is ESSENTIAL in perimenopause! 

Not only for weight management and fat loss, but for improving a lot of the neurological symptoms experienced during perimenopause, such as  brain fog and cognition issues, hot flushes, night sweats, headaches, migraines, and mood issues.

Your exercise and movement should be nourishing to your body and nervous system, and support muscle-building. The focus needs to come away from exercise as a weight loss or weight control tool and instead be a vehicle for a healthier, stronger, happier body and mind. The natural side effects of exercising in a way that's nourishing and muscle building is fat loss and a healthy body composition.

Chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system (resulting from chronic stress and or previous big or little traumas) can (or DOES!) create a lot of hormonal havoc and dysregulation in other systems in the body.

Sleep can be profoundly impacted during perimenopause and it can be one of the first things we notice, even as early as late 30s and particularly early 40s. Whether it’s trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or both. And waking up feeling groggy and unrefreshed can become the norm (this is not OK!).

In this episode I discuss all of the hormonal shifts taking place we move through perimenopause, and how that impacts our entire physiology - including changes to how we process carbohydrates and manage blood glucose levels, changes to your stress hormones, thyroid hormones, DHEA, and testosterone...there’s a lot that’s shifting. And all of these hormones have an impact on things like energy, mood, sleep, and weight.

We mustn't only blame or focus on oestrogen and progesterone - that would be missing a lot of big tricks when it comes to symptoms relief and management.

There are 4 main foundational pillars of health that we must address and support if we want to have a much smoother hormonal ride through our 40s. And, if we want to safeguard our health, both now and in the future. 

In this episode I talk about the first of these foundations, which is blood sugar balance and insulin control. Insulin resistance is a big factor in perimenopause symptoms and challenges, both physically and cognitively. It impacts so many of the typical symptoms experienced in our 40s, including brain fog, mood issues, sleep issues, weight gain and belly fat, and even hot flushes and night sweats.

In this episode, I discuss the 4 foundational areas of health I take my one to one clients through and that I teach inside of my Midlife Thrive Membership. I also discuss the other important areas of health we might need to dive deeper into once those 4 foundational pillars have been laid. Addressing all of these areas and getting things more optimal where needed WILL make the hormonal chaos of PM much easier. And what's great is that the same set of nutrition and lifestyle habits address all of the areas!
