Feeling Off? It Might Be Perimenopause
If you’ve been feeling tired, moody, foggy, or just not like yourself, you’re not alone. Perimenopause—the phase before menopause—can sneak up on you with symptoms like irregular periods, weight gain, sleep issues, and random hot flashes that make you feel like you’re melting from the inside out. Fun, right?
The good news? You don’t have to just suffer through it. With the right nutrition, movement, and lifestyle tweaks, you can actually feel balanced, energized, and strong during this time.
How to Feel Your Best During Perimenopause
Move Your Body (But Be Kind to It!)
Your workouts might need a shift during perimenopause. High-intensity workouts every day? That could actually stress your hormones out even more. Instead, focus on:
-Strength training (helps with metabolism & bone health)
-Walking or cycling (gentle but effective)
-Yoga & stretching (great for stress & flexibility)
Eat to Balance Hormones
Your body needs extra love right now, and what you eat makes a huge difference in how you feel. Try to:
- Up your protein (helps with metabolism & muscle)
- Load up on healthy fats (omega-3s are your BFF)
- Get enough fiber (keeps blood sugar steady & supports digestion)
- Watch your sugar & processed foods (they mess with hormones)
Prioritize Sleep & Self-Care
If falling or staying asleep feels impossible, your hormones might be to blame. Here are a few ways to get better rest:
- Magnesium before bed (relaxes muscles & calms the nervous system)
- Limit blue light at night (phone scrolling? Not helping!)
- Create a bedtime routine (yes, like kids do—your body loves it!)
