In this episode, we dive into the challenges of working with our changing hormones age 35 and beyond, aka perimenopause, and how to reclaim vibrant health through simple female-specific lifestyle, nutrition and fitness changes. Your host, Louise, a multi award-winning women's integrative health practitioner and performance scientist, shares her personal journey of overcoming hormonal imbalances, gut issues, and genetic challenges, offering practical tips to improve your health and fitness naturally.
We break down how hormonal shifts, like declining estrogen, can affect cholesterol and heart health. We explore cutting-edge biomarkers, clinical findings and what we can do about it. This episode encourages women in their 30s and beyond to take charge of their well-being with regular lab checks, proactive holistic health and performance monitoring. Instead of counterproductive messaging that medication is the only solution, the focus is on strategic nutrition, smart supplementation, and female-specific exercise strategies to feel, look and perform your best.
Another key takeaway is the importance of community. A supportive group of like-minded ambitious active women and runners can keep you motivated, share innovative tips, and empower you to stay on track during perimenopause's many ups and downs. You'll also learn actionable ways to lower LDL cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and use tools like the Function Health platform to understand your unique female physiology better.
Whether you love fitness, endurance sports, or are looking to live a long, healthy and vibrant life, this episode offers simple, empowering strategies to take control of your holistic well-being.
