73: 5 Perimenopause Myths That Are Holding Women Back

Send us Fan MailYour body is changing and that can be confusing, frustrating, and honestly scary. What we refuse to accept is the story that perimenopause and menopause automatically mean weight gain, weakness, low energy, and a slow slide into “this is just my life now.” We take that head-on with evidence-based coaching perspective and real-world clarity, especially for women who have been sold extremes, guilt, or quick fixes.We walk through five stubborn myths that keep women stuck: the idea that your metabolism is broken, that you cannot build muscle anymore, that you should stop lifting heavy and just do more cardio, that weight gain is inevitable, and that feeling exhausted or uncomfortable is simply your new normal. Along the way we connect the dots between hormone shifts, appetite regulation, stress load, sleep quality, recovery needs, daily activity levels, and lean muscle mass so you can see what is actually happening without blaming yourself.Then we get practical. We talk about why resistance training is a cornerstone for menopause fitness and healthy aging, supporting muscle mass, bone density, insulin sensitivity, function, and independence. We also highlight the “smarter basics” that matter even more now: adequate protein, consistent strength training, daily movement, stress management, recovery, and sleep. The goal is not to become 25 again. The goal is to feel the best you can in this season, with a plan that fits your life.If someone you love is in her late 30s and beyond and has been fed myths or told to just toughen up, share this with her.
