Vibration plates. Red-light masks. Infrared everything.

If you’re in perimenopause, you’ve probably seen these tools marketed as fat-loss hacks, hormone fixes, and anti-aging miracles — all without much effort.

But what do they actually do?

In this episode, I break down the science behind two of the most talked-about perimenopause trends and explain where they can be helpful… and where the hype takes over.

In this episode, we cover:

What vibration plates actually do for muscle, bone, and circulation

Why vibration plates don’t drive meaningful fat loss on their own

The real, research-backed skin benefits of red-light masks

How red light supports collagen, skin texture, and inflammation

Why passive “hacks” are so appealing during perimenopause

How to decide if these tools are worth your money

What still matters most for fat loss, energy, and aging well in midlife

This episode isn’t about shaming trends.
It’s about clarity — so you can make informed choices without feeling like your body is broken.
