Are you noticing that your body has started to ache more in your 40s, stiff shoulders, sore knees, aching joints, or tight muscles? Wondering why you suddenly feel older than you are?
You are not alone. These symptoms are increasingly recognised as part of what’s now called the “musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.”
In this replay episode, I break down:
- What the musculoskeletal (MSK) system actually is
- Why perimenopause and hormonal shifts can trigger new aches and pains
- What the “musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause” means
- The most common symptoms to look out for
- Powerful nutrition and lifestyle strategies to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support your muscles and joints
It’s a hugely important topic because so many women suffer silently without realising these symptoms are connected to hormone changes, and the good news is: there’s so much you can do to support your body!
Enjoy this archive episode and feel free to share it with a friend who’s been complaining of new aches and pains lately!
