    You're Not Broken, Your Recovery Is: Training Smarter in Perimenopause

    You're training five or six days a week. You're eating well. And yet, nothing's budging. You feel more tired, more puffy, and more frustrated than when you started. What if it's not your effort that's the problem — it's your recovery? In this episode of Reclaim Your Strength, personal trainer Danielle breaks down why women in perimenopause and menopause need to completely rethink their approach to exercise — and why pushing harder is actually working against you. What you'll learn in this episode: Why your results happen in recovery, not during your workout How declining estrogen increases inflammation and slows recovery time What chronic overtraining looks like — and how to know if it's happening to you Why constant soreness is a warning sign, not a badge of honour The link between sleep and muscle building — and simple habits to protect both If you're a woman over 40 who feels like her body has stopped responding, you're not broken. Your approach just needs to match your biology. 🎙️ About Reclaim Your Strength A podcast for women navigating perimenopause and menopause who want to build real strength, restore their energy, and stop fighting their bodies.
