Maybe your sleep is suddenly disrupted.
Your period shows up early… or not at all.
You’re more emotional than usual.
And the scale? It’s not budging, even though nothing in your routine has changed.

Perimenopause, the transitional phase before menopause, can begin as early as your late 30s — but for many women, the symptoms feel like a complete mystery. Worse yet, they’re often dismissed by healthcare providers, misunderstood by loved ones, and downplayed in social circles.

This month, we celebrate Father’s Day — a moment to honor the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, partners, mentors, and father figures who’ve shaped our lives.

Perimenopause is a time of profound change. As your estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate—and eventually decline—your body responds not only with hot flashes and irregular periods, but also with increased stress and elevated cortisol levels. Understanding this hormonal interplay can help you take back control and find calm amid the storm.

If you’ve been beating yourself up for feeling forgetful or scattered, please give yourself some grace. You’re not lazy. You’re not losing it. You’re going through a profound hormonal shift — and your brain is along for the ride.

To all the women who showed us what it meant to care, to carry on, to hold it together when no  one was watching — we see you. We thank you. And we carry your wisdom forward. 

This May, let’s honor what we’ve learned — and choose what we’ll pass on.

Navigating perimenopause and menopause can feel like a rollercoaster—hot flashes, mood swings, weight fluctuations, and fatigue can all make this transition challenging. But here’s the good news: what you eat can make a huge difference in how you feel.

Coping with Anxiety, Depression, and Empty Nest Syndrome

Midlife is often painted as a time of stability—but for many women, it can feel anything but.

Between hormonal changes, shifting family dynamics, career transitions, and the emotional wave of watching your children grow up and move out, it’s no surprise that anxiety, depression, and a sense of loss can creep in.

You don’t have to suffer in silence or “just deal with it.” There are gentle, natural ways to support your body and mind through perimenopause and menopause. Every woman’s experience is unique, and the key is to listen to your body, nourish it well, and seek out support when needed.

As a fitness and wellness coach for women 40+, I’ve had hundreds of conversations with women just like you. Here are the top three questions I hear again and again—and the answers that can finally give you the clarity and direction you’ve been craving.

If you’ve noticed that losing weight feels much harder after 40, you’re not imagining things. Many people find that even when they eat the same foods and follow the same exercise routine, the scale just won’t budge like it used to.

Aging should be a celebration, not something to fear. Yet, society often sends the message that youth equals value, and growing older means fading into the background. Women, in particular, face immense pressure to look, act, and feel younger—leading to unnecessary stress, self-doubt, and even resistance to the natural aging process.

If there’s one supplement I believe every woman should consider adding to her routine, it’s creatine. Often misunderstood as a supplement for bodybuilders, creatine is actually a powerhouse for brain function, muscle strength, bone density, and overall energy—all critical factors for women, especially in perimenopause and beyond.

If you’ve noticed that shedding extra pounds isn’t as easy as it used to be, you’re not alone. Many people over 40 experience weight loss resistance, even when they’re eating well and exercising regularly. The good news? While your body may be changing, you can still reach your health goals with the right approach.

Reaching midlife is often a pivotal moment—a season of reflection, transformation, and new beginnings. For many, it’s a time to pause and ask profound questions: What is my purpose? Am I living the life I want? What’s next for me? While these thoughts can feel overwhelming, midlife is also an opportunity to redefine your goals, rediscover your passions, and embrace a future filled with possibility and meaning.

As we navigate our 40s and beyond, our bodies undergo significant changes. One of the most impactful is the shift in our hormonal balance, which can lead to weight gain, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and decreased energy levels. But here's the good news: you have the power to support your body through these changes with a clean eating approach.

A new year is here, and with it comes the opportunity to reset, refocus, and realign with your health goals. Whether you’re aiming for a major transformation or just looking to fine-tune a few habits, the right strategies and tools can make all the difference.

The holiday season is here—a time for joy, celebration, and connection. But for those navigating the challenges of perimenopause, this time of year can also bring unique hurdles. Between hormonal changes, fluctuating energy levels, and the stress of holiday preparations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

The holiday season is a magical time filled with joy, family gatherings, and, of course, indulgent food. From office parties to festive feasts, it’s easy to lose sight of your fitness goals during this busy time. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to choose between enjoying the holidays and staying fit. With a few smart strategies, you can maintain your health and well-being while savoring the season's festivities.
