    229. Is this a perimenopause symptom?

    Welcome to Perimenopausal Conversations for Busy Women, where we help busy women navigate perimenopause, hormone balance, and everyday stress using essential oils and practical holistic tools. In this episode, Meg and Heather talk about the myriad of random symptoms that COULD be caused by perimenopausal hormonal shifts. While funny to discuss, there are so many random things. Since we have estrogen receptors all throughout our body, why wouldn't it affect so many parts of our bodies?

    228. Why Consistency Matters More Than Motivation

    Welcome to Perimenopausal Conversations for Busy Women, where we help busy women navigate perimenopause, hormone balance, and everyday stress using essential oils and practical holistic tools. In this episode, Meg and Heather talk about why, especially during the years of perimenopause, consistency matters so much more than motivation. Meg quotes James Clear's Atomic Habits about falling to the level of your systems. Meg and Heather decided that "rhythms" was a great word for reframing the word "systems." Rhythms are goals with fluidity and grace. Meg also talked about Cassy Joy Garcia's new cookbook with high protein recipes that are easy to meal prep, her group Balance in the Messy Middle, and also the concept of don't miss more than one day at a time of any of your rhythms.

    227. Inflammation in Perimenopause

    Welcome to Perimenopausal Conversations for Busy Women, where we help busy women navigate perimenopause, hormone balance, and everyday stress using essential oils and practical holistic tools. In this episode, Meg and Heather talk about inflammation and perimenopause. For most of our lives estrogen has protected us against inflammation, now with the erratic production of estrogen, we are now more susceptible to the damaging parts of chronic inflammation. Meg is offering an Anti-Inflammatory Master Class beginning September 21 at noon and at 7 pm - you choose the one session you would like to attend live on Zoom. In the class she will give 5 simple steps to reducing inflammation. The signs and symptoms of inflammation during perimenopause vary greatly, and you may not have thought of some of these as being related. There are things such as: - joint aches and pains; - brain fog; - fatigue; - increased anxiety; - weight gain, especially in the belly area; - poor sleep; and - hot flashes.

    226. The Food Label Lies We Have All Fallen For

    Welcome to Perimenopausal Conversations for Busy Women, where we help busy women navigate perimenopause, hormone balance, and everyday stress using essential oils and practical holistic tools. In this episode, Meg and Heather talk about the 3 lies that food labels use. #1. The front of the package tells you all. This is not the part to read! Look at the ingredients. #2. The current nutrition trend displayed on the front makes it healthy. #3. If it's made from healthy ingredients, it is healthy for you.

    225. Protein Isn’t Just for Bodybuilders: Why Women in Perimenopause Need More of It

    Welcome to Perimenopausal Conversations for Busy Women, where we help busy women navigate perimenopause, hormone balance, and everyday stress using essential oils and practical holistic tools. In this episode, Meg and Heather discuss the importance of protein, the ton of misinformation out there, and some truths and suggestions. You can't live without protein - it builds and repairs tissues in our body. It specifically builds our muscles which are considered the longevity organ necessary for keeping us moving, protecting our joints, and pushing our skeleton through life. So, how much protein do you actually need? Disregard what you have heard, it is bioindividual. Not only do each of us need different amounts, we need different amounts from season to season in our own body. Good news! Meg can help determine how much you need currently and work with you from there to adjust as your body changes. The bottom line, strive for more quality protein and ask Meg for a free 15 minute initial consult to find out more.

    222. Why Your Health Hustle Isn't Working During Perimenopause

    In this episode, we break down why the old ways of "hustling"—over-exercising, under-eating, and pushing through exhaustion—stop working during perimenopause. We explore the powerful shift women going through perimenopause are making toward a kinder, more intentional approach to health. Plus, we look at why strength training is non-negotiable for aging bodies, and how to build lasting habits using micro-steps.
