Weight gain, headaches, fatigue, extreme emotions, memory problems, loss of sex drive, etc... Could this be Perimenopause?
Welcome to my blog!
This is my first post and I am here to share information, my experience and knowledge that I have gathered so far as I journey through Perimenopause.
I am a personal trainer, yoga teacher, post rehab conditioning specialist and I am passionate about nutrition and health. I am 45 years old and started going through Perimenopause about 2 years ago.
When I experience something that affects my health and well-being I jump into it, research it and find out everything I can about it and what I can do. How I can bring myself back to feeling healthy and happy. I loved my 30’s – I’d say that is when I looked and felt my best. The early 40’s were still pretty good. Then, I hit my mid 40’s and some strange things began happening.
I have always been fit, healthy and active. I had tons of energy and my moods were level and I felt as if I was cruising through life and enjoying the ride.
Then…..it happened…. I began feeling more irritable, emotional and I gained weight around my mid-section. I even felt a little depressed at times. My PMS seemed to last the whole month! I felt as if I was going through puberty again. Since my daughter had a crazy 2 years from 13-15 (she is now 20), I remember all to well what she went through and I could actually now relate to the extreme emotions and how little things became HUGE problems! Why was I feeling like this?! It was like adolensence all over again.
What was causing all these feelings, sensations, physical changes? I am far too young for menopause!! I didn’t even think of that being the cause of “whatever” I was experiencing.
Then began the research, I had to figure out a way to handle this. I will NOT let something take control over me. My body and my mind (which is what it felt like). That is when I found out about Perimenopause.
At the same time I was experiencing the symptoms of perimenopause and researching it, I noticed that many of my clients were also having similar issues. I was trying to help them lose weight, tone up, eat better, but they seem to be stuck. What worked for them in the past was not working anymore. I noticed that with myself also. The lack of energy did not help either.
So what did I discover? What worked for me? Even though I was living an active and healthy life, I had to change some things. If what I was doing was not working – I had to make some changes.
Stay tuned to my future posts where I will let you know what worked for me, give you suggestions what could work for you. I have NO weight problem now at all. I don’t really diet, I have just changed how and what I eat. And I love the food - I feel so much better!
I am here to share what has worked for me. You too can keep the weight off, balance your moods, release some stress, be healthier and happier. Stay tuned for my next post!
I will let you know the #1 thing that made the most difference for me.
