My Perimenopause Story: The Symptoms, The Dismissal, Why I Chose HRT and Strength Training

Wondering whether your symptoms could be perimenopause? In this episode, I cover the most common early sign which I myself experienced, including sleep disruption, anxiety spikes, mood swings,  brain fog, and that feeling of being ‘off’ without knowing why.I also talk through my experience seeking answers, what I learned about HRT (and why modern body-identical HRT is different from the pill), and how I’m navigating treatment.We also dive into how oestrogen affects muscle, why strength training becomes even more important in your 30s and 40s, and what practical training and nutrition actually look like during perimenopause.If you’ve been confused by TikTok misinformation or wondering what’s really going on in your body, then this episode is for youCome and say “hi” on Instagram @claire.coachingkingsI’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode!If you’re ready to stop running on empty, join STRONGER and get 50% off your first month with the code PODCAST50.STRONGER gives you personalised programming and support without the hefty price tag,  just £22.50 for your first month (£45 per month thereafter) for tailored training and guidance.Tap the link in the show notes and let’s make the next 6 months completely different from the last:https://mailchi.mp/thecoachingkings/stronger-sign-up-page
