Maximizing Hormones, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause

What if midlife wasn’t the end of your best runs, vibrant health, and unstoppable performance, but it was the start of something even stronger?

In this inspiring episode, host Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading experts for perimenopausal avidly active women and runners, reminds every woman that it’s never too late to pivot, reset, and build your own dream happy place. Louise opens up about her journey of “retiring” at 40 after a remarkable career, not to stop working, but to serve from a place of love, integrity, passion, and deep meaningful purpose.

Listeners will hear powerful stories of Breaking Through Wellness women runners who overcame chronic pain, hormone imbalances, perimenopause symptom hell, amenorrhea, and running burnout to reclaim their best strength, confidence, and performance yet! Louise also shares how Breaking Through Wellness became more than a women's health practice and program; it’s a movement of women runners and endurance athletes redefining what health and high performance look like age 35 and beyond as hormones change.

If you’ve ever felt like your body or work life is changing faster than you can keep up, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, realign, and start again, without guilt or grind.

As hard as it is for us to hear, the “grind harder” and "bigger, faster, stronger" mindsets that once got us results are now holding us back. 

In this powerful episode, world-leading perimenopause women's health, fitness and performance expert Louise Valentine breaks down why women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, especially runners and Type A high-achievers, need to rethink how they train, fuel, and recover. She introduces the idea that “the threshold has changed”. Our bodies, hormones, how we achieve fitness adaptations, and nervous system health evolves with aging, and so must our approach.

Listeners will learn how chronic stress, underfueling, male-based nutrition strategies and unexpected overtraining due to male-based running methods stall progress, and how recalibrating with smarter female-specific strength training, fueling, recovery, and nervous system regulation can unlock new levels of strength, holistic mind-body performance, and clarity. 

Louise shares real client stories showing how doing a bit less with intention and customized female-specific strategies can lead to faster running, better sleep, glowing skin, PRs, and lasting energy.

This isn’t about slowing down, it’s about working smarter with your changing body and female physiology so you can continue to thrive, perform, and feel amazing at every age.

Often, the very thing we love, running and endurance training, is silently adding counterproductive stress to our body. While not a sole causative factor in adverse health outcomes, recent research findings have scientists, practitioners, recreational endurance athletes, and runners pausing across the world!

In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise, one of the world’s leading integrative health practitioners, exercise physiologist, and fitness experts explores the often-overlooked connection between female physiology, gut health, and endurance training.

Drawing on her 22+ years of clinical experience, research, supporting thousands of active individuals at all levels, and her own journey as a dedicated runner reversing stomach precancer, Louise explains how stress, gut health, and hormonal changes intersect during perimenopause and what you can do about it. From the science behind intestinal permeability (that stubborn lower ab “pooch” and bloat) to targeted, affordable supplements and practical fueling strategies, she keeps it simple, science-based, and specific to highly active women who love to run.

You’ll also hear Louise’s candid take on the latest viral headlines and misleading social media spins claiming running causes cancer, why it’s not that simple, and how to critically approach the noise without giving up the sport you love. This episode is equal parts honesty, science, and actionable tools so you can run, live, and thrive with confidence.

If ready to critically think about novel research findings, instead of panic or jump to conclusions, this episode is for you!

What if some the very things you swore you’d never do are the ones that bring you the most growth in your health and performance as your hormones change age 35 and beyond? In this episode, Louise Valentine, leading exercise physiologist and women’s integrative health expert for everyday female runners, gets real about the unexpected shifts that happen in perimenopause, changes that affect not only your body, but also your mindset, relationships, and how you fuel, live, and train.

Louise shares six surprising shifts that many women face: juggling kids’ performance with personal goals, odd pelvic floor pain and symptoms that show up out of nowhere, taking supplements for health instead of performance, realizing that sex can be a powerful form of nervous system regulation, navigating stress like never before, and perhaps most shocking is racing for fun, joy, and love of running, instead of always chasing PRs.

These insights aren’t just personal stories; they’re backed by decades of coaching, cutting edge female-specific science, and lived experience. Whether you’re struggling with hormonal changes, recalibrating your fitness priorities, or searching for balance in a high-stress season of life, this conversation gives you permission to evolve with grace, strength, and joy.

What if some of the foods and workouts you’ve been relying on are actually making perimenopause harder? In this episode, Louise, one of the world’s leading health, fitness and performance experts for everyday female runners, gets real about the connection between dopamine seeking, food choices, and protecting your mental health as hormones change. You’ll hear why waiting for low hormone labs to tell you that you're in perimenopause is too late, and why learning to listen to your body’s early signals and warning signs matters most.

This conversation sheds light on how low hormone levels and perimenopause mechanisms of action affect mental health, nutrient timing, nutrient absorption, recovery, and even how you should approach training. You’ll discover why high-intensity exercise can backfire and why some women need to abstain from certain foods instead of trying to “moderate.”  Enjoy candid real life examples of how genetic predispositions and environmental triggers like family traditions and old memories can spark cravings, mood swings, depression, frustrating performance decline and even fat gain!

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with practical insights to protect your mental health, maximize brain health and mood, make peace with your body, and build a lifestyle that supports achieving your goals instead of fighting them. 

This is about self-love, awareness, and applying the best female-specific strategies specific to YOUR unique body and goals to thrive in a season that often feels overwhelming, but doesn’t have to be!

What if the biggest key to thriving through perimenopause wasn’t another supplement, stricter diet, or grueling workout, but something totally different than pushing your body to new extreme? In this empowering episode, Louise, one of the world’s leading health experts for avidly active high-achieving women and everyday female runners, pulls back the curtain on the real challenges women face in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond when hormones start shifting.

She shares why so many active, driven women and runners hit a wall with fatigue, stubborn weight, hot flashes, and self-criticism, and how mindset, patience, and self-love become non-negotiable for success. From nutrition timing to balancing cortisol, building lean strength, and preventing injuries, Louise explains why quick fixes fail and what really works for lifelong sustainable success.

Listeners will walk away with practical steps for supporting their bodies, celebrating progress instead of nitpicking flaws, and embracing the long game of maximizing health, running, and physique goals despite changing hormones. Whether you’re chasing PRs or just want to feel vibrant again, this episode reminds you that you’re already a badass, especially on days where you're not feeling it, and THAT is where lasting transformation begins!

What if the key to thriving age 35 and beyond as an active female isn’t a complicated routine, but something as simple as a deeper understanding of the nuances of protein? In this episode, host Louise, one of the world’s leading experts for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Liz Plosser, former editor-in-chief of Women’s Health magazine, to talk about real, science-backed strategies for women seeking simple and effective ways to optimize health, hormones, and performance in midlife.

Liz shares her personal journey from fearing protein to making it the cornerstone of her recovery, strength, and energy, especially after a major injury. Together, they break down nuances of protein timing, strategy, and absorption, why the right type of amino acids and creatine can be game changers, and how lifting heavier and strategically to work with changing hormones, and not against them, protects not just muscles but bones and long-term vitality in active living!

You’ll also hear practical tips on timing protein intake, simplifying nutrition without overwhelm, and reframing perimenopause as a season of strength and confidence rather than something to fear. Whether you’re a busy mom, athlete, or just trying to feel your best, this conversation will leave you empowered with tools you can use today.
