In your 40s, hormones are changing, which is known as perimenopause, your body’s slow and gradual transition towards achieving menopause. The purpose of this blog is to help you understand what’s ACTUALLY happening with your hormones here and how you can support your body.
In perimenopause your hormones are behaving differently. In this blog post, I’m going to explain specifically what’s happening with oestrogen; what it’s doing in your 40s, the issues it brings and how you can support it.
In perimenopause, oestrogen can rise to levels 2 or 3 times higher than EVER before. Add to this declining progesterone levels, resulting in oestrogen ‘dominant’ cycles, and you’ve got heavier flow. There are other contributing factors for heavy periods as well, which I’ll explain in this blog.
In perimenopause, your cycles are still regular (at least at first) and you are still fertile – albeit not as fertile as in your 20s and 30s – however, the communication between your brain and ovaries is starting to change (somewhat break down), resulting in changes to your cycles and periods such as longer or shorter cycles, irregular cycles, shorter or longer periods and heavier and/or painful periods.
Insulin resistance is an important concept to understand always, but even more so in your 40s as your body becomes more prone to it. Insulin resistance equals less energy, more inflammation and a tendency to gain fat especially around the middle.
Muscle mass might not be something you’ve given much thought to outside of strength and how your body looks. But muscle is extremely health-protective and the organ of longevity! Learn why you need muscle and 4 ways to build and maintain it
In your 40s, as you move through perimenopause, your body starts to become better at storing body fat. However, the GOOD NEWS is that some simple diet and lifestyle interventions can prevent or reverse the dreaded perimenopause weight gain!
