If you’re working out harder than ever and gaining weight… this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re getting practical about exercise in perimenopause, menopause, and adrenal depletion. You’ll learn why the high-intensity workouts that worked at 30 may now be spiking cortisol and sabotaging your metabolism, why muscle loss accelerates as estrogen declines, and why strength training is no longer optional in this season.

We’ll talk about what to decrease (punishing workouts, chronic cardio, exercising through exhaustion) and what to increase (strength training, walking, restorative movement) so your body can rebuild instead of break down.

This is a rewiring.
You don’t train to punish the body.
You move to steward what’s been entrusted to you.
