In Episode 92, Ellende Werd sits down with the Nicole Printon for an honest, empowering, and deeply informative conversation about perimenopause—a transition nearly every woman experiences, yet few feel prepared for. Nicole opens up about her personal journey, the science behind the symptoms, and the lifestyle shifts that help women thrive during this season of change.

Nicole and Ellen share about their personal experience(s) with hormonal havoc.

Together, we break down what perimenopause really is:

• How it differs from menopause
  

• The most common symptoms women experience
  

• Why it remains misunderstood and often underdiagnosed, even by healthcare providers
  Nicole offers powerful insight into how hormonal shifts affect active women:

• Energy, recovery, and muscle-building changes
  

• Weight fluctuations, sleep disruptions, and stress responses
  

• How to adapt fitness routines to feel strong and supported
  

• The types of movement that tend to be especially helpful during perimenopause
  

We unpack the emotional side of the transition, including:

• What’s happening hormonally when women feel anxious, moody, or “not themselves”
  

• How to maintain confidence and self-compassion
  

• Ways to stay grounded when identity feels challenged

Nicole explains what women should look for in a provider who truly understands perimenopause and discusses:

• When hormone therapy or medical interventions may be appropriate
  

• The labs or assessments women should request when symptoms don’t make sense

We wrap up with practical takeaways women can implement immediately:

• Nutrition and supplement strategies that support hormonal balance
  

• Sleep habits that actually help during perimenopause
  

• Stress management tools that make a meaningful difference
