Episode #70 - Perimenopause Symptoms - Why Diet & Exercise Stop Working After 40

Welcome to episode 70 of Antigravity Wellness!Many women in perimenopause believe they need more discipline, stricter diets, and harder workouts to feel better—but that approach often backfires. In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith explains why hormone changes during perimenopause can create symptoms even when you feel like you're doing everything right.Join us as we explore how shifting estrogen and progesterone levels can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, brain fog, bloating, poor sleep, loss of muscle mass, and increased inflammation. Dr. Nicole breaks down what's happening physiologically and why the strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s may no longer be effective in midlife.You'll also learn why strength training becomes increasingly important as women age, how to start working with your body instead of against it, and why seeking care from a menopause-trained provider can make a significant difference in both symptom management and long-term health outcomes.This episode is a reminder that you don't need more willpower—you need a plan that aligns with your biology.Freebies: Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!
