If you're trying to reduce coffee (and kick that cortisol craziness to the curb), BUT you still want steady energy, this has been my current favorite adaptogenic coffee alternative!!!☕⚡.

As someone who talks about hormone balance, cortisol, blood sugar stability, and nervous system regulation all the time on my channel and in my office- I'm super careful about how I do my caffeine

I have shared before my love for Pique tea and now they make a coffee alternative, Nandaka, that is so much better than any adaptogenic coffee alternative I have tried!

Nandaka is made with:
Chaga
Fermented Pu'er Tea
Reishi
Ceremonial Cacao

All ingredients are organic and triple toxin screened. And the result is incredible.

I have been living this as part of my morning routine- particularly on busy clinic days or heavy writing and filming days!

I’ve used WalkFit consistently for a full year, so I finally sat down and reviewed it honestly — not as a trend, but as both an app user AND a functional med physician who helps women in perimenopause adjust their lifestyle to meet their shifting hormones.

I cover:
• who this app actually helps
• what surprised me over time
• what didn’t matter as much as I expected
• and whether I’d still recommend it a year later

If your sleep started falling apart in your 40s or 50s, estrogen is likely part of the reason.

Estrogen helps regulate: • Melatonin (sleep hormone)
• GABA (calming neurotransmitter)
• Core body temperature

When estrogen becomes erratic or declines in perimenopause, sleep often becomes lighter and more fragmented — especially waking between 2–4 AM.

What actually helps 👇

✔️ Consistent bedtime + morning light (supports melatonin)
✔️ Protein at dinner to prevent overnight blood sugar dips
✔️ Magnesium glycinate or threonate for nervous system support like l-theanine, ahswagandha, or phoshatidyl serine
✔️ Lower evening cortisol (breathwork > scrolling)
✔️ Cool sleeping environment (estrogen affects temperature control)

This isn’t a willpower or sleep hygiene issue —
it’s hormonal physiology. And there are things you can do shift it, it can take time but stick with it!

Save this if sleep has felt harder lately 💛 and check out the full blog in estrogen and sleep in my profile!

Thinking about starting strength training but not sure where to begin — especially in your 40s and 50s?
You’re not alone. As estrogen drops during perimenopause, we lose muscle faster… which means a slower metabolism, more stubborn weight, and more fatigue.

The good news? Strength training can reverse so much of that. 💪✨

Here are the 5 beginner moves I recommend for women over 40:
✔ Squats
✔ Glute bridges
✔ Rows
✔ Modified push-ups
✔ Tricep extensions and bicep curls

Aim for 8–12 reps, 2–3 sets, 2–3 days a week.
Start slow. Focus on form. Your body will respond.

I also just published a full blog with even more resources + a simple 4-week plan to follow.

Struggling with a slower metabolism in your 40s? It’s not your age — it’s under-eating, stress, poor sleep, and too much high-intensity exercise. Your hormones shift in midlife… and your metabolism shifts with them. 💛

I break it all down in my new midlife metabolism guide — link in bio.

🌼✨ Struggling with blood sugar balance during perimenopause? It' actually super common! 🌼✨

As hormonal changes can lead to unpredictable blood sugar levels, it's important to eat balanced meals- protein forward (eat your protein first and make sure it's at every meals, and eat high fiber carbs earlier in the day- check out protein and carb balance breakfast ideas in the posted pictures- and for meal plans get my free pdf through the video link in my linktree/link in bio). 🍳🥑🍓

Did you know that estrogen plays a key role in glucose processing? As levels drop, your body's ability to manage sugar can become a bit wobbly. This can lead to worsening menopause/late perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, irritability, and weight gain. But don’t worry! With the right strategies, you can regain control. 🙌

Here are some tips for stabilizing your blood sugar:
1️⃣ Incorporate high-fiber foods and healthy fats.
2️⃣ Time your carbs wisely—opt for complex carbs in the morning.
3️⃣ Keep track of your levels for better insights. I like to recommend tracking your food a few days per week so you can track your fiber and protein intake. I like CarbManager, MyFitnessPal, and Cronometer apps for tracking.

Let’s break the cycle together! For more info, check out the Youtube video (https://youtu.be/rM0-0CZ12iw) and blog link (https://www.perimenopause.help/perimenopause-blood-sugar/) in bio! 🔗💖
