92 - Strengthening Our Body, Mind & Spirit Through Life's Changes: A Conversation with Fitness & Menopause Coach Wendy Kleinke

So many of us enter midlife feeling like we’re fighting against our bodies - battling fatigue, physical changes, mood swings, and stress that seems to settle into our bones. But what if the answer isn’t to fight harder… but to listen more closely? In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun is joined by Wendy Kleinke, a fitness and menopause coach. Wendy shares how tuning into your body’s changing needs - through strength training, nourishing nutrition, and stress resilience - can actually help you feel stronger, more balanced, and more at home in your body than ever before. In this conversation with Elizabeth, Wendy reminds us of the importance of the mind/body connection in life in general, and particularly when we’re facing life changes like perimenopause and menopause. Key takeawaysStress can take the form of physical stress, emotional stress, and chemical stress. It’s best to introduce new habits and lifestyle changes slowly and allow yourself to adapt before adding more changes. Often heavy cardio exercise isn’t the best fit for people and strength training can lead to more sustainable and healthier results. ResourcesVisit The Calming Ground: http://www.thecalmingground.comContact Elizabeth: [email protected]://www.lifebeyondhormones.com/https://www.tiktok.com/@lifebeyondhormoneshttps://www.instagram.com/lifebeyondhormones/https://www.facebook.com/lifebeyondhormones/https://www.youtube.com/@lifebeyondhormones
