February is Heart Month, dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health, the second leading cause of death in Canada

As someone who has a strong genetic predisposition for cardiovascular disease - this type of research is what drove me to pursue menopause care ❤️

Although there are changes we can make to prevent heart disease (I can help with that! 🙋‍♀️), not everything is within our control.

But knowledge is power.

Sharing to my feed to save for later.

Understanding the powerful connection between hormone therapy and cardiovascular health.

Menopause isn’t one moment.. and it often starts much earlier than most of us expect.
For many women in their late 30s and early 40s, changes can quietly show up as poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog, stubborn weight changes, heavier or irregular periods, or a sense that something just feels off.

In this free online workshop, we’ll unpack the most common myths and misconceptions about menopause and perimenopause, so you can understand what may be happening in your body and why these shifts can begin years before periods stop.

You’ll gain clarity around what’s common, what deserves attention, and how having the right information early can make this transition feel less overwhelming; and help you feel more confident about what’s ahead!

Maybe your training isn’t as effective as it used to be. Maybe your nutrition plan suddenly isn’t working. Maybe your recovery feels slower, your sleep is off, or you’re noticing mood swings or shifts in body composition you didn’t expect.

You are not broken. You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just in a different physiological state—and when you understand what’s going on, you can work with your hormones, not against them.

Let’s break it all down so you can take back control of your training, nutrition, and performance—whether you’re in perimenopause or postmenopause (or supporting someone going through it).

Key Differences: Perimenopause vs. Postmenopause

Think of perimenopause as the transition phase. Hormones—especially estrogen and progesterone—start fluctuating, sometimes wildly. You might feel great one week, and off the next. Sleep, recovery, energy, and performance can all take a hit. Estrogen may spike or dip unexpectedly, impacting everything from insulin sensitivity to mood to muscle protein synthesis.

Postmenopause is what’s on the other side; it becomes the new baseline. Once you’ve gone 12 months without a period, you’re considered postmenopausal, and your hormone levels are low and relatively stable. That stability helps (you shouldn’t have any more wild hormonal spikes or dips), but estrogen’s protective effects on muscle, metabolism, bone, and brain are diminished.

Too many thoughts to formulate into an Instagram or Facebook post... so I wrote a blog about it! 👀

I hope you will find it relatable. Because you do really deserve that grace.

Feeling exhausted, anxious, or not like yourself in midlife? Learn why perimenopause deserves the same grace we give postpartum recovery - and how small steps make a big difference.

Nobody warned us that menopause could change our bladder, our va**na, and our confidence all at once 🤯

Frequent UTIs. Burning. Dryness. Leaking. Pain with s*x.

These issues are often part of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) ♀️

When estrogen declines:
• protective bacteria decline
• va**nal pH shifts
• tissue becomes thinner and more fragile
• micro-trauma happens from everyday things like wiping or underwear

This isn’t weakness. It’s physiology.

And the good news?
GSM is common, diagnosable, and treatable.
You don’t have to “just live with it".

Options include:
▪︎ va**nal estrogen
▪︎ non-hormonal moisturizers
▪︎ pelvic floor therapy
▪︎ lifestyle and s*xual health support
and more..

You deserve comfort, confidence, and good care.

Hi to all my new followers 👋 So glad you're here!

I’m Kim; a Registered Nurse specializing in perimenopause and menopause care.

I got into this work after noticing something that stayed with me: women were more likely to break bones, end up in nursing homes, and die of heart disease - and no one was really connecting the dots back to menopause.

That curiosity turned into education, certification, and a mission to help women protect their health before problems start.

Midlife isn’t a decline. It’s an opportunity to understand your body and care for it differently ❤️

If you’re here because you want answers, support, and a little humor along the way.. Welcome 🤗

You’re in the right place.
