Beyond the Scale: Metabolic Health
Metabolic health is about so much more than your weight. During menopause, changes in estrogen, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, and body fat distribution can quietly increase your risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, even when the number on the scale barely changes. I want to shift our attention away from trying to reclaim the bodies we had at 25 and toward understanding what our bodies need now. Let's explore how nutrition, strength training, sleep, and a few important health measurements can help you protect your metabolism and maintain your vitality for decades to come.
The Bone Bank: Strong Bones, Strong Future
Bone loss starts decades before most women think about osteoporosis, then accelerates rapidly around menopause as estrogen declines. The good news is that we can do a lot before bones become fragile. Learn how strength training, protein, calcium, vitamin D, hormones, and earlier screening can help protect your bones, mobility, and independence for decades.
Autism and Perimenopause: When the Mask Gets Harder to Hold
For some women, perimenopause is the first time a lifetime of autistic traits becomes harder to compensate for. The noise feels louder, social interactions take more energy, routines matter more, and the strategies that worked for decades suddenly aren't enough. Perimenopause doesn't cause autism, but it may make the mask much harder to hold.
Your Brain on Perimenopause
Brain fog, forgotten words, poor sleep, and trouble focusing can make perimenopause feel like you are losing yourself. Learn what changing hormones are doing to your brain, why ADHD symptoms may suddenly become harder to manage, and what you can do now to protect your brain health for the decades ahead.
