What if I told you that you’re not exhausted because you’re getting older.

You’re exhausted because your body isn’t getting what it needs.

Most women in perimenopause think they need more coffee, stricter diets, or harder workouts to fight fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain. But what if the real problem is how you’re fueling your body?

After competing in a full-contact national box lacrosse championship at 50, playing against women half my age in 2-hour games, five days straight, in 30-36º heat, I saw firsthand how nutrition, hydration, and recovery can make or break your energy levels - no matter your age.

Key Takeaways:

✔ The biggest fueling mistakes most women in perimenopause make - and why they’re making you feel more exhausted, not better.
✔ Why carbs are your friend, not your enemy (and how cutting them can actually backfire on your metabolism, sleep, and hormones).
✔ How to eat, drink, and train smarter so you stop crashing mid-afternoon and start feeling strong again - without extreme diets or over-exercising.

Sneak Peek:

“Some of the younger women were struggling. They were exhausted halfway through because they weren’t eating enough, weren’t eating the right things, and weren’t recovering properly. And I see this all the time with women in perimenopause too.”

Your body isn’t working against you - it just needs the right support.

The way you fuel yourself directly affects how you feel every day. If you’re tired of crashing at 3 p.m., feeling sluggish no matter what you eat, or wondering why your workouts aren’t making a difference, this episode is for you.

Listen now and start making the small shifts that lead to big results.
