At 41, everything changed for me, and not in a good way.
Out of nowhere, I was hit with:
😵💫 anxiety that made zero sense
😣 moods that felt like a rollercoaster ride
🌫️ brain fog so thick I thought I was heading toward early dementia
My doctor called it “mom stress” and handed me an antidepressant.
But the real story?
I was in perimenopause, and no one even brought it up.
So I went searching, researching, reading, experimenting, and finally found answers through a functional medicine approach. Once I started giving my body what it actually needed, everything shifted.
Here’s what helped me get my life back:
✨ Eating whole, real foods and prioritizing protein + fiber
✨ Cutting way back on sugar and processed stuff
✨ Creating a nighttime wind-down routine
✨ Lifting weights 2x/week to support strength + metabolism
✨ Managing stress with yoga, breathwork, walks, journaling, meditation
✨ Staying hydrated, adding electrolytes, and ditching afternoon caffeine
And the results were worth every simple step:
💛 I got off my antidepressant
💛 My energy came back
💛 No more afternoon crashes
💛 I lost 10 pounds in 3 months, without obsession or restriction
Now I help women over 40 do the same with simple, realistic tools that work in every day life… not just on paper.
If your body feels like it’s rebelling, your brain won’t quiet down at night, or you just feel blah all the time, you don’t need a pill. You’re in a powerful transition, and you deserve support.
Start small.
