Episode 369: 5 Things to Include in Your Perimenopause Exercise Routine

And we are so excited - not just because we are in that age range of the target audience - but because this is not something that has been talked about before, and not only are we discussing it, but we are swiftly moving to better available care for people in perimenopause and beyond (finally/thankfully). Listen for 5 things to consider for your perimenopause exercise routine (and exercise examples)!
