If you’re in midlife and wondering why the things that used to work no longer do, hear this clearly:
You are not broken.
Your body is changing and it’s asking for a different kind of support.
During menopause and perimenopause, hormones like estrogen and progesterone fluctuate and decline. These shifts affect blood sugar, metabolism, sleep, stress response, and even motivation. What once felt easy can suddenly feel frustrating or impossible.
Many women respond by doing more:
- eating less
- exercising harder
- being stricter
And that’s where things often backfire.
Your nervous system doesn’t feel safe.
Your blood sugar becomes unstable.
Your body holds on instead of letting go.
Your blood sugar becomes unstable.
Your body holds on instead of letting go.
This isn’t a discipline issue.
It’s a physiology and mindset issue.
In this season, the body needs stability before intensity.
That’s why I focus first on:
- blood sugar balance
- hormone support
- liver function
- nervous system regulation
- mindset and self-talk
When those foundations are supported, weight loss becomes a byproduct, not a battle.
Menopause is not a punishment.
It’s an invitation to listen differently.
It’s an invitation to listen differently.
And when you do, your body responds.
As we are just getting off the holiday frenzy, I found this the perfect time to start the Whole Body Cleanse and Liver Tone to begin the cleansing process. This helps balance your hormones and counter the seasonal food frenzy. Additionally, I use daily hormonal essentials like PD 20/80, Femigen, and Progessence Plus to support hormone health.
Reflection: Where have you been blaming yourself for something your body is simply asking support for?
