Ep.54 - Perimenopause

Feeling like the strategies that used to work for you just... don't anymore? Welcome to perimenopause, where your body is rewriting all the rules and you're suddenly questioning every decision you make. In this episode, Amy Mingin cuts through the influencer noise about fasting, GLP-1s, and extreme protocols to give you what actually matters: understanding your cycle and working WITH your body instead of against it. In this episode, you'll discover: How to track ovulation naturally (even if you're in your 40s and never learned) Why your luteal phase is when everything feels harder and what to do about it The "emotional excavating" that happens in the two weeks before your period Why slowing down is the smartest thing you can do (not just nice-to-have self-care) The two schools of thought on carbs during perimenopause and how to test what works for YOU Why you can't exercise your way out of perimenopause symptoms Amy shares practical strategies for managing stress tolerance, bloating, brain fog, and hormonal symptoms without burning yourself out. This isn't about white-knuckling through with discipline, it's about resetting your nervous system and building a better relationship with your body.
