This episode is for anyone who's ever looked at their life and thought, Is this really it?(Especially if you’re a woman navigating midlife, menopause, chronic pain, or the rage of being dismissed by your doctor).Joanne Peters spent decades in a high-pressure corporate job before it broke her down. When the depression hit and her joints gave out, she didn't get answers — she got brushed off.Through strength training, hormone therapy, and the slow grind of injury rehab, she rebuilt her life — and I asked her to explain how.Joanne and I talk openly about menopause, medical gaslighting, and why midlife women are overdue for a comeback story that doesn't require a six-pack.In this episode, we talk about:⦁ Joanne’s escape from corporate burnout, and what finally pushed her to quit⦁ How to shift from aesthetics to performance-based goals⦁ How Joanne started strength training at 48 and now nails 10 chin-ups⦁ Why joint pain isn’t “just aging”⦁ The truth about hormone replacement therapy⦁ What perimenopause really looks like (and how early it starts)⦁ The emotional toll of being dismissed by doctors while your body’s screaming at you⦁ Tips on mobility, and why most trainers miss the markFind more from Joanne PetersOn Instagram @average_jo_armoury https://armouryfitness.ca/
