Menopause & Perimenopause: Fueling Your Body Through the Change

How to Stay Strong and Vibrant During Life’s Natural Transition

Your wellness journey doesn’t pause when hormones shift—if anything, this is the time to care for yourself even more.

Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages of life, but they can bring changes that feel overwhelming: fluctuating energy, mood swings, hot flashes, weight shifts, and sleep disruptions. The good news? With the right habits and support, you can feel strong, steady, and vibrant through it all.

5 Things To Help You Thrive Through This Time

1. Prioritize Protein

Hormonal changes can make it harder to maintain muscle. Aim for a source of protein at every meal or shake—this will absolutely impact your metabolism, strength, and energy levels.

2. Hydrate Like a Pro

Hot flashes and night sweats can leave you dehydrated. Sip water, teas, and aloe throughout the day to keep your skin, digestion, and mood in balance.

3. Focus on Strength Training

Gentle cardio is great, but building muscle through resistance training supports bone health, protects your metabolism, and boosts confidence. Don’t worry about bulking up but rather understand that this will help you to avoid becoming frail and weaker as you age. It will also help you to maintain your balance (how about helping to avoiding falls as well!!!).

4. Balance Your Plate

Fluctuating hormones can increase cravings. Include healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil) and plenty of fiber (veggies, fruits, whole grains) to stabilize blood sugar and keep you feeling full. These types of foods also help with weight management.

5. Create a Rest Ritual
Quality sleep is often harder during this time. Build a calming evening routine—power down screens, enjoy a magnesium-rich snack or calming tea, and keep your bedroom cool and dark. It’s a challenge for all of us now but stopping any and all screen use for at least an hour or two before bedtime is huge!
