I’ve said it before and I’ll Say it again…. If you are over 40 and feel like nothing is working anymore…can we talk about protein?😁 SO many women are eating “healthy” - but not eating enough to support muscle, metabolism, and hormone balance. Midlife isn’t about eating less☝🏼 It’s about fueling smarter🙌🏽 This is part of my “Stop Doing This If You’re Over 40” series… Full video on YouTube 🥰 You deserve to understand what your body needs💜 Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Friday!!

Here’s a little bit of a video from my new YouTube series “things no one told me about perimenopause”- and this one was about something we’ve all mentioned we have or do struggle with… Sleeeeep , or lack there of!!😅 I have to say, I do sleep “better” than I was before starting HRT , but I still find myself waking up and moving around a ton , restless- even on my nights I have optimal sleep scores! As you all have seen in other videos, I prioritize my sleeps most nights with different practices and routines. BUT!☝🏽 I can not remember the last time I actually slept all Through the night without waking up multiple times- it’s definitely been years and years! How about you? Can you relate to any of this? 🤔 I’m curious to hear about your experiences below , if you incorporate any of the practices I’ve mentioned in previous posts , and as always- I hope you’re having a beautiful day!💜

Hi ladies, and happy Sunday! I wanted to make a little post about something i'm learning more about with my menopause certification - and also a topic @Alyssa Furukawa mentioned is a great thing we don't talk enough about! ....Our pelvic floor. The pelvic floor isn’t just about kegels, and it’s definitely not just a “post baby” thing. Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports: ✅ your bladder and bowel ✅ your core and posture ✅ your hips and low back ✅ sexual function ✅ stability during lifting, walking, and just daily life During perimenopause and menopause, declining estrogen can affect muscle tone, connective tissue, and coordination ...which is why symptoms like leaking, heaviness, low back pain, or core weakness can show up even if you have never had kids. Here’s the part many women don’t hear enough...A healthy pelvic floor needs strength AND relaxation. That means: ✅ learning how to breathe properly ✅ coordinating the pelvic floor with your core ✅ not over-clenching all day ✅ using functional strength and mobility work 🌸 Some simple things you can start doing today to support your pelvic floor that don’t need fancy equipment for or hours of work, are: ✨ Breathe before you brace...Slow exhales help the pelvic floor relax and coordinate with your core. ✨ Stop clenching all day...Many of us hold tension without realizing it. Periodically check in and fully relax. ✨ Exhale on effort...When lifting, standing up, or carrying groceries , gently exhale instead of holding your breath. ✨ Walk daily...Walking supports pelvic floor coordination, circulation, and your nervous system regulation. ✨ Train your glutes and hips...Strong hips help take pressure off the pelvic floor and improve overall stability. ✨ Prioritize mobility...Gentle hip and spine mobility keeps the pelvic floor working with your body, not against it. Consistency beats intensity here. A few mindful minutes a day can make a real difference💜 Pelvic floor health = confidence, comfort, and longevity! 💜

Happy love day from Stanley, Hanky and I.🥰 Wishing you all the love and spoiling yourself you deserve!🫶🏽

I have to say I LOVE my Oura ring for all that it tracks, including my HRV, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, even biometrics if I’m getting sick….BUT ☝🏼 I find that I am now pretty Much OBSESSED with tracking certain things… especially my sleep score. As you can see here, last night I only got 80%… 85 and above is optimal, and the days I don’t hit 85 or more I stress about it lol. ( I’m learning to let it go when its still 80- 85)… but when it’s 79 or under (which doesn’t happen too too much) I AM SO HARD ON MYSELF! I do love that having my Oura ring has realllly helped me make sleep a priority - but sometimes I wonder if I’d be better off not knowing. 🤔 Any one else track your sleep , steps , macros, etc? How does it make you feel if you don’t meet your goals or optimal health ? Do you find having a tracker has made you a bit “too much” like me? Thanks in advance for commenting and I hope everyone gets an “optimal” Sleep tonight!💜
