Early perimenopause makes our bodies more sensitive to stress, and too much intensity can push us into survival mode. Moving mindfully, pacing yourself, and slowing down when needed helps your body get stronger without extra stress.

Perimenopause shifts are happening. Let’s notice what your body needs. ✨

Here’s what to pay attention to:
• What you’re putting into your body and in what amounts
• Small nutrition tweaks like adding protein and fiber
• Stress and how it shows up in your day-to-day life
• Moving in ways that build lean muscle and support overall well-being

Make a few intentional tweaks each day. Even small changes add up to more energy, better balance, and a stronger you. ⚖️

Carrying too much can fuel overthinking and overwhelm. 💭

Why does it happen:
Balancing work, household tasks, and family expectations
Meeting internal and societal standards
Feeling like you have to do it all yourself

Noticing the load you carry is the first step.

From there, you can understand why you’re taking on so much and begin to find a sustainable solution. 🌀

So many women are told to “just wait it out” when they start feeling the exhaustion, mood swings, and changes that come with perimenopause.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth. ✨

Marissa was dismissed by her doctor… but she trusted her gut and dug deeper.

Through testing, strategy, and support, she uncovered the real reasons she wasn’t feeling like herself—hormone imbalance, inflammation, low nutrients—and within weeks, everything started to shift.

Perimenopause is not something to just suffer through.

You can feel energized, stable, and at home in your body again.

Progress isn’t all or nothing. Tackling tasks in small steps and celebrating each move — even what’s left — trains your brain to recognize wins, build momentum, and break the cycle of overdoing.

The FDA’s announcement lifting the black box warning on estrogen products comes after 20 years of postmenopausal women being denied, gaslit, or never offered estrogen hormone replacement therapy since 2003.

50 million women were affected by this.

The truth is HRT (especially bioidentical forms) are safe and can effectively improve women’s quality of life and longevity.

When started within 10 years of menopause, women can decrease their risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, and bone fracture. That’s life saving.

Women deserve to make well-educated decisions for their bodies.

Why do so many start to notice an extra layer creep up in their late 30s or 40s?

Our metabolism shifts in this time and we become more sensitive to stress. High cortisol signals our body to hold onto weight because it thinks it’s life or death!

Suddenly doing 5 HIIT classes a week and intermittent fasting makes you gain weight instead of lose it.

But there’s hope. By making subtle changes to your diet and lifestyle — getting the right foods at the right time, exercising smarter to avoid cortisol spikes, and getting diligent on stress support — you can feel better than ever in your body!

Some common medications can tank libido.⚠️

The biggest culprits for women:

Antidepressants (SSRIs)
Spironolactone
Hormonal birth control

If your libido is in the garbage, make sure you’re not taking something that’s making it worse. If you are, talk with your doctor about other potential options.

When you approach your health comprehensively, you can feel your best and reignite the spark of desire.✨

So many women are taught to push through, ignore pain, or put themselves last.

But when women understand their bodies and receive care that supports them — their entire lives shift. ✨

Feeling good in your body is not selfish.

It’s not indulgent.

It’s necessary support — for your health, your relationships, your work, your joy.

When women thrive, everyone around them does too. 💛

Let’s keep spreading education, compassion, and real care.

Our hormones impact our libido in direct and indirect ways.

Testosterone is a big driver of spontaneous desire.
Estrogen helps with feeling open to being intimate.
Progesterone helps us feel like ourselves and at home in our bodies.

Low libido isn’t “just part of getting older.”

It’s your body’s way of saying something’s off — whether that’s hormones, stress, sleep, or connection.

In this week’s Modern Women’s Wellness Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Christine Vaccaro, urologist and women’s sexual health expert, to unpack what’s really behind the changes so many women notice in their 40s.

We talk hormones, stress, pelvic health, and mindset — and how to bring back connection and confidence.
