Menopause and the Midlife Body Reality Check

In this special International Women’s Day 2026 episode of Elevate Podcast, Carlo, Director and Co-Founder of Elevate Pilates, is joined by Senior Instructor Katherine Trofeo for an honest conversation on Menopause and the Midlife Body Reality Check. Together, they explore the real physical and hormonal shifts women experience during perimenopause and menopause — from metabolism and muscle changes to sleep, joint health, and confidence.Rather than seeing midlife as a decline, this episode reframes it as a powerful transition that calls for smarter, more intentional movement. Carlo and Katherine share how Pilates can support strength, bone health, core integrity, and overall well-being during this stage, offering reassurance and practical insight to help women feel informed, capable, and empowered.
