Could some of your daily habits (unknowingly to you) be making your perimenopause symptoms worse?
In this empowering episode, I share five things women over 40 should stop doing, or at least reconsider, if they want to feel more balanced, energised, and in tune with their changing hormones.
From misunderstood fitness trends to stress, alcohol, and even the myth of “normal” blood tests, we explore what might be holding you back from truly thriving in perimenopause and beyond. If you’re doing everything “right” but still not feeling like yourself, this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, I discuss:
- Why chronic stress wrecks your perimenopause experience
- The number 1 type of exercise women over 40 should prioritise
- Why a fully vegan diet can backfire for hormone health
- How alcohol and caffeine affect your hormones (and sleep!)
- Why “normal” blood test results might be anything but normal
My hope is that this episode is a compassionate but honest wake-up call for any woman who wants to feel well, strong, and supported through midlife. Let’s ditch the habits that don’t serve you and make space for the ones that do!
