Thrive in Perimenopause

Humans are diverse. On average, women begin perimenopause between the ages of 38 and 45 and reach menopause between the ages of 48 and 52. 

Menopause isn't an on/off switch. It's a slow progressive transition, known as perimenopause. It lasts years. If you've gone 12 consecutive months without a period, you have reached menopause.

Nutrition becomes even more important as our hormones change.  We need more protein, fiber, and probiotics to give us energy and to help us build a strong body.

We start losing muscle after age 30. Strength training and moderate cardiovascular movement is vital to prevent injuries and improve our stability and our balance. Strong is better than skinny!

Restoring our bodies and minds with a full night's sleep is crucial in keeping our immune system healthy. Feeling rested and energized makes it easier to eat better and move our bodies. 

Be kind to yourself. Meditate, breathe, stretch, and have a good laugh with a friend. Regulating cortisol has a positive impact on your mood, hunger, and energy.
