With my How to Reverse Weight Gain in Perimenopause workshop happening next week, I kept feeling this nagging discomfort about how it might be perceived — especially with all the GLP-1 discourse dominating the conversation right now (and especially in the menopause space). I had a really heartfelt conversation with my sister this afternoon about diet culture, unrealistic norms and the pure exhaustion of being in constant battle with our bodies. I don't want to be part of the problem. I don't want anyone to think I'm contributing to anti-fat bias or diet culture by hosting the workshop. So I wrote this newsletter and I was wondering what you think. I started this community only a couple short weeks ago, and I value your desire to be here: to learn, explore and create community in this space. I think it's what is missing for so many of us. I want us to be able to explore sensitive topics like this. And I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do YOU think about this conversation? I'd be so grateful to have you weigh in.

With simple, strategic, science-backed tools, you can get off the hormonal rollercoaster and finally feel like the 35 year old version of yourself! I created this community after thousands of conversations with women just like you who expressed overwhelm, frustration, confusion and feelings of loneliness.

The menopause transition has a way of shaking up your life in ways you don’t expect. For me, it wasn’t just about the hot flashes or the brain fog—it was the overwhelming sense of losing myself. I didn’t feel like the person I once was. Some people choose not to take HRT. Other cannot. After researching my options, I made the personal decision to go on HRT, and I want to share my experience in hopes that it might help you feel less alone in your own journey.... First, let me say this: deciding whether or not to take HRT is deeply personal. Every woman’s menopause experience is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. For me, HRT offered the opportunity to address some of the acute physical and emotional symptoms I was facing, including mood swings, sleepless nights, anxiety, and debilitating fatigue. My symptoms came on suddenly and severely at a time when no one else in my circle could relate to what was happening to me. Taking the HRT immediately offered relief. This is important: The WHI (Women's Health Institute ) Study released in 2002 was debunked for many reasons. It suggested that there was increased risk with cancer and HRT but as it turns out, it was a skewed study. Here is more. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3963523/ That said, HRT wasn’t a cure-all. While it immediately softened many of the intense symptoms I was dealing with, it wasn’t until I committed to a consistent routine of healthy eating, stress management, exercise, and sleep hygiene that I began to feel like myself again. HRT gave me the relief I needed to start building those habits, but the real transformation came from addressing my overall lifestyle. Women's studies have been severely neglected. I personally believe menopausal women are still one of the most underserved communities in our medical system. Here is a great article from Time magazine that may shock you.
