The Well Beyond 40 Podcast: Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause, the phase before menopause, is marked by a decline in hormone levels, including estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. Women in this phase often experience symptoms such as belly fat, sleep disturbances, shorter or heavier menstrual cycles, and increased stress. It is important to focus on improving diet and nutrition during this phase, ensuring adequate intake of proteins, fats, and essential nutrients. Getting labs done, monitoring hormonal levels, and working with a collaborative healthcare provider can help address specific hormone imbalances. On the other hand, menopause is an empowering phase where women can embrace their wisdom and lead the way as commanders. Hormone replacement therapy, along with a balanced diet and lifestyle, can help manage symptoms like memory loss, muscle loss, and other age-related changes. Women should reject negative narratives around aging and prioritize their well-being during this phase of life.
