Perimenopause & Menopause
The Phases No One Prepared You For
Why Your Body Feels Different, Even Though You’re Doing “All the Right Things”
If you’re exercising regularly, trying to eat well, and still feeling tired, foggy, moody, or stuck — you’re not alone.
Many women in their 30s, 40s, and early 50s start noticing changes that don’t quite make sense. Not because they’re doing something wrong… but because their physiology is changing.
❋ You’re training regularly, but strength, muscle tone, or fat loss aren’t matching your effort
During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen and declining progesterone affect insulin sensitivity, fat storage, and muscle maintenance. As levels fluctuate, women are more likely to store fat around the abdomen, even when activity and nutrition stay consistent. Testosterone shifts can make it harder to maintain and gain lean muscle.
❋Your energy crashes more easily
Hormones help your cells make energy and manage blood sugar. When they shift, energy can feel less steady, especially later in the day or after workouts. Causing you to feel like you “hit a wall”.
❋ Sleep feels lighter or more broken
Progesterone supports calm, deep sleep. As it declines, falling asleep and staying asleep often becomes harder. Perimenopausal hormone shifts can also affect body temperature at night leading to warmth or sweating.
❋Motivation feels inconsistent
Hormones affect brain chemicals linked to focus and motivation. When they fluctuate, drive and mental clarity can feel unpredictable. Some days feel easy. Others feel like a struggle.
❋ Stress hits harder than it used to
Hormonal changes can make your nervous system more sensitive to stress. Your body may rely more on stress hormones, making everyday things feel heavier. Leading to easier overwhelm.
❋ Recovery takes longer
Estrogen helps with muscle repair and inflammation control. When levels change, soreness can last longer and recovery can slow, even with the same training routine.
For a lot of women, the missing piece isn’t effort.. it’s hormonal change.
These symptoms are often connected. And for many women, they’re part of perimenopause and then menopause. A normal transition that DESERVES support. When you understand what your hormones are doing, everything starts to make more sense.
So what’s going on during perimenopause?
*Progesterone often declines first, affecting sleep, anxiety, and recovery
*Estrogen fluctuates, sometimes high, sometimes low, impacting mood, weight, and inflammation
*Stress hormones become more influential
*Muscle mass, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity can shift
These changes don’t happen all at once, and they don’t look the same for every woman, which is why they’re often missed or brushed off.
But they are very real.
What Hormone Support Can Do
Hormone therapy is not about “pushing hormones higher” or masking symptoms. Intentional replacement and symptom management is so important.
When appropriate, it’s used to:
Support more stable energy
Improve sleep quality
Reduce mood swings and anxiety
Help the body respond to training and recovery
Improve quality of life and confidence
It’s always personalized — and it always starts with understanding your labs.
