Connie Pretula

Connie Pretula I’m The Menopause Navigator and Certified Nutritional Practitioner. Contact me to get started. Medical doctors told me for years there was nothing wrong.

I specialize in helping women thrive through menopause and beyond with personalized health strategies and support. Pursuing our goals and dreams is so much more fun when we feel great. I challenged the narrative of what life should be after 50 and decided to live the life I wanted. My nutrition education finally gave me answers and insights and allowed me to learn how to heal my body with whole food ingredients and herbal medicine. I also incorporated lifestyle changes, remember there is no silver bullet, health and wellbeing has many components. One thing I can assure you, it’s not about starving and long hours of exercise. If you are ready to start living your best life, reach out, I’d love to learn more about you.

Snoring in menopause is more common than most women realize, yet very few people talk about it.

If you have found yourself snoring for the first time, snoring louder than before, or feeling more fatigued despite sleeping through the night, hormone changes may be playing a significant role.

In this Navigating Midlife Live episode, I explain why snoring often increases during perimenopause and continues into post menopause, and what it may be telling you about your health.

We explore:

• How declining estrogen affects airway tissue
• The role of progesterone in breathing regulation
• Why weight gain can impact snoring
• The connection between cortisol, stress, and disrupted sleep
• When snoring may signal sleep apnea in women
• Practical steps to support better sleep during menopause

Snoring is not just about aging. It is often connected to hormonal shifts, nervous system regulation, body composition changes, and overall metabolic health.

Understanding what is happening inside your body allows you to make informed, supportive choices rather than brushing it off as “just getting older.”

You do not have to navigate menopause alone.

Menopause and gut health are deeply connected, yet this is one of the most overlooked foundations in perimenopause and post menopause support.

For over a decade, I have started here with my clients. Not with symptom chasing. Not with extreme diets. I begin with the gut.

In this episode of Navigating Midlife Live, we explore:

• How hormonal shifts alter gut motility and drive bloating and constipation during the stages of menopause
• How the microbiome influences inflammation and hormone balance
• The gut–brain connection and its impact on mood and stress
• Why pelvic floor concerns and stool leakage should never be dismissed
• The foundational shifts that make the biggest difference

If you feel like your body has changed and nothing seems to fully resolve your symptoms, this conversation will help you understand why.

Menopause is not just about hormones. It is about how your whole body is changing. When the gut is supported properly, everything else becomes easier to manage.

In this episode of Navigating Midlife Live, I explore why motivation often dips during perimenopause and continues into menopause and post menopause, and why this is not simply a lack of discipline. We talk about why consistency matters more than willpower at this stage of life.

We cover:

• How hormone shifts affect energy and focus
• Why small daily habits support cognitive clarity
• The danger of all or nothing thinking
• Why accountability makes sustainable health possible

If you are navigating midlife while managing a career, family, or leadership role, this conversation may resonate.

Why does everything feel so hard during perimenopause and menopause?

Many women experience emotional overwhelm, increased sensitivity, anxiety, brain fog, and feel less able to cope with life during perimenopause and menopause like they used to. Tasks that once felt manageable can suddenly feel exhausting. Emotions feel closer to the surface. Stress feels harder to handle. Life feels heavier.

In this Navigating Midlife Live episode, I explain why this happens and what is changing in the brain, nervous system, and hormonal system during the stages of menopause. We talk about why overwhelm can feel unfamiliar and intense, and why this does not mean anything is wrong with you.

This video is for you if you have been asking:
- Why am I so emotional during menopause?
- Why does everything feel overwhelming?
- Why can’t I handle stress like I used to?

Understanding what is happening beneath the surface can bring relief and perspective during this transition.

Why does s*x start to hurt during perimenopause? Many women experience painful s*x during the menopause transition, often beginning earlier than expected and continuing well beyond their final period.

In this episode of Navigating Midlife Live, I talk openly about painful s*x during the stages menopause and why this experience is far more common than most women are told. As hormones shift, vaginal tissue, lubrication, and pelvic health can change, which can make s*x uncomfortable or painful, even before periods stop completely.

I explain why painful s*x can begin in perimenopause, how it can continue through menopause and post menopause, and why understanding the menopause transition is key to making sense of what your body is experiencing. This conversation is meant to bring clarity, reassurance, and practical insight, not fear or pressure.

Painful s*x during perimenopause, menopause and post menopause is common, but it is not something women need to silently accept. When we understand what is changing in the body, we are better equipped to explore supportive options that protect comfort, intimacy, and confidence in this stage of life.

If you are experiencing painful s*x, vaginal dryness, discomfort with intimacy, or changes in s*xual comfort during perimenopause, menopause and post menopause, this episode will help you better understand what may be contributing and what can help.

Topics covered include:

- Painful s*x during perimenopause and menopause

- Why s*x can start to hurt earlier than expected

- Hormonal changes that affect vaginal tissue and lubrication

- The menopause transition explained clearly

- Supportive steps that can help improve comfort

Recovery can feel very different after menopause, especially after illness.

In this episode of Navigating Midlife Live, I’m sharing a personal experience of being sick over the holidays and how two weeks of rest, reduced movement, and comfort eating shifted my body, mood, and motivation more than I expected.

Post menopause, hormonal changes, including lower estrogen and testosterone, can influence muscle mass, energy, mood, and motivation. When illness forces us to slow down, it can be easier to fall into sedentary habits, feel discouraged, or struggle to return to routines that once felt supportive.

In this conversation, I talk about:

- How menopause can change recovery after illness

- Why motivation may feel harder to access post menopause

- The emotional impact of setbacks on health goals

- Why this is not a failure, but a normal response

- How to reconnect with habits that support your body

If you’re navigating menopause and finding it harder to bounce back after illness, stress, or time away from your routines, you are not alone. This episode offers perspective, reassurance, and a reminder that recovery does not need to look the same as it once did.

Menopause can be a time when many women feel they should just push through or bounce back the way they used to. If that hasn’t been your experience, you’re not alone. There is nothing wrong with you.

If you’d like support, or simply a space to talk through what you’ve been noticing in your body, you’re welcome to connect with me for a complimentary 30-minute conversation https://l.bttr.to/mXhux. I’m here to listen and help you make sense of what this stage of life may be asking of you.
