Puffy, Painful, and Perimenopausal? It's Probably Inflammation

Every day in my clinic, I see women battling a hidden enemy they can't quite name. They're experiencing joint pain that wasn't there before, skin that's suddenly reactive, or stubborn weight that refuses to budge despite their best efforts. The culprit? Inflammation – a natural process gone rogue that becomes particularly problematic during the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause.This episode dives deep into why inflammation matters so much during this life stage. As oestrogen declines, we lose its powerful anti-inflammatory protection, making our bodies more reactive to everything from certain foods to stress and poor sleep. I explain the newly recognised "musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause" that finally gives a name to the joint pain many women experience, and why that pain isn't just "getting older" – it's a biochemical process we can address. You'll discover how inflammation creates a vicious cycle with weight gain by disrupting insulin sensitivity, hunger hormones, and promoting visceral fat storage around your middle.The good news? Inflammation responds remarkably well to the right interventions. I share my top strategies for reducing inflammation naturally, from prioritising specific anti-inflammatory foods to balancing blood sugar, supporting gut health, and managing stress effectively. These approaches have helped hundreds of women in my Glow Protocol see dramatic improvements, often within just weeks. If you've been told your symptoms are just part of aging or you're frustrated that your usual health routines aren't working anymore, this episode will help you understand what's really happening in your body and how to address it from the root cause.Ready to tackle inflammation and reclaim your health during perimenopause?
