Perimenopause Reframed

Perimenopause is hitting this generation of women harder than any before it, and it has nothing to do with your hormones being worse. The working mum generation is carrying more chronic stress, more mental load, and more pressure than any generation of women before them, and when perimenopause hits and the hormonal buffering drops away, everything that was being quietly managed underneath surfaces all at once. In this episode I explain exactly why this is happening, why it's not your fault, and why the same drive that got you here is exactly what's going to get you through it.👉 Ready to work with me: https://perimenopasuereframed.mvt.so👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie00:00 Why is perimenopause worse for us00:49 Intro01:23 The generation before us02:59 The working Mum era04:19 Is this you?05:46 What this generation needs07:45 What this looks like when it works09:04 Outro

Perimenopause overwhelm, burnout and the cycle of starting over are not a discipline problem. They are what happens when you keep adding more to a body that is already at its limit. In perimenopause your body is working harder than it ever has just to stay regulated on a normal day, and every time you overhaul everything at once you are adding more stress to a system that is already overwhelmed. In this episode I explain exactly why the all or nothing approach makes perimenopause symptoms worse, and what actually creates lasting change without burning out every three weeks.👉 Strategy sessions: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Perimenopause Reset program: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie00:00 I’m begging you to stop trying so hard in perimenopause00:40 Intro01:14 Your body is already overwhelmed02:21 The overhaul cycle03:29 One change at a time05:13 Anchoring habits06:12 Perimenopause can last years07:21 Outro

Perimenopause anxiety, rage, sensory overwhelm and sleep disruption are not personality changes and they are not a mental health crisis. Your nervous system is driving most of your perimenopause symptoms and until you understand that, nothing you try is going to work the way it should. In this episode I cover exactly what perimenopause does to your nervous system, why the things you're doing to cope might be making it worse, and what actually helped me get from fully symptomatic to completely symptom free while still in perimenopause.This is the second of two episodes covering the two real drivers of perimenopause symptoms.

Perimenopause weight gain, fatigue, brain fog and mood swings are not just about your hormones dropping. Your metabolic health, particularly insulin resistance, is driving most of your perimenopause symptoms and until you address that, nothing you try is going to work the way it should. In this episode I cover what perimenopause does to your metabolism, why eating less and exercising more is making things worse, and what actually fixed it for me.This is the first of two episodes covering the two real drivers of perimenopause symptoms.

Perimenopause signs are not just hot flushes and missed periods. If something feels off, your sleep has changed, your stress tolerance has dropped, or you just don't feel like yourself, these are signs of perimenopause that most women never connect to their hormones. In this episode I go through ten signs you might also be in perimenopause, including the ones that show up years before your period changes.👉 Strategy sessions: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Perimenopause Reset program: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie00:00 Signs you're also in perimenopause01:19 Intro01:40 What perimenopause actually is03:12 One - You don't feel like yourself04:50 Two - Your sleep has changed06:29 Three - Your energy is different08:03 Four - Your mood is less predictable09:28 Five - Your stress tolerance has dropped10:51 Six - Your body composition has changed11:58 Seven - Everything feels harder12:56 Eight - The other physical signs14:33 Nine - Your cycle is changing15:36 Ten - Something just feels off16:26 Outro

Alcohol and perimenopause is a combination that makes almost every symptom worse, even if you only drink what most people would consider a moderate amount. Sleep problems, anxiety, hot flushes, weight gain and poor recovery from exercise are all directly affected by alcohol in ways most women have never been told. In this episode I share what I found when I removed it for thirty days and what's actually happening in your body when you drink during perimenopause.👉 Strategy sessions: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Perimenopause Reset program: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie00:00 The Introduction00:41 The Challenge01:38 The Background03:23 The Experiment05:16 The Results07:53 The Science08:33 The Sleep010:05 The Anxiety11:35 The Hot Flushes12:00 The Weight Gain12:47 The Gut13:38 The Impact On Training14:12 The Uncomfortable Part15:43 The Outro

Perimenopause symptoms go way beyond hot flushes and missed periods. The itchy skin, electric shocks, the rage, the 3am wake ups, the anxiety that appeared from nowhere, the joint pain, the feeling that you don't recognise yourself anymore. These are all perimenopause symptoms nobody warns you about. In this episode I go through all of them, why they happen, and what they're telling you about what's going on in your body.👉 Strategy sessions: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Perimenopause Reset program: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie(00:00) Introduction(00:40) What's wrong with me?(02:11) The itch(04:30) The ears(06:33) The anxiety(08:05) The exhaustion(09:39) The aches(11:05) The 'I don't recognise myself'(13:25) This is perimenopause(14:23) Outro

Perimenopause early signs are almost never the ones you expect. Before I knew I was in perimenopause I was experiencing exhaustion that sleep didn't fix, emotional flatness, anxiety, and a sense that I just didn't feel like myself anymore. In this episode I share what I missed, what the early signs actually feel like, and why so many women spend years not knowing what's happening to them.👉 Strategy sessions: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Perimenopause Reset program: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie00:00 Introduction00:42 My Story04:15 The Science05:21 What I Changed07:05 The Transformation07:32 Outro

Perimenopause symptoms are being dismissed by doctors every single day. Women are told their blood tests are normal, that they're too young, that they just need to manage their stress. If your doctor has dismissed your perimenopause symptoms, you are not imagining it and you are not alone.
