375: Why Does My Body Feel Like it's 90 When I'm Only 45?!

Ever tried to stand up from the couch and needed a moment of silence to honor your knees? 😩 You’re not alone, friend. In this episode, we welcome Brie’s big sis and a physical therapist, Shanna, on the podcast. We get down and dirty about what happens to our bodies during perimenopause—and why it suddenly feels like gravity’s got a personal vendetta against us. We’re breaking down how to regain strength during perimenopause, what the heck is happening to your muscles (spoiler: estrogen's peacing out), and the tiny daily habits that make a huge difference. Think Pilates, planks, squats, and… mermaid workouts? 🧜‍♀️ Yes, really. So if you’re tired of grunting every time you bend down or just want to avoid aging like your great aunt Myrtle (no offense, Myrtle), this one’s for you. Tune in and laugh your way to a stronger core—because feeling 90 at 45 is not the vibe. Resources We Shared: Ready for your kids to stop constantly fighting?
