    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.

    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.

It is a combination of estrogen dropping, not sleeping well, stress stealing our working memory, and the mental load of keeping up with it all. Meg offers 3 practical steps - bedtime routine, moving our bodies, and nutrition. Heather also stresses the importance of having systems in place that work for you.

    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.
