Did you know that NOT MOVING ENOUGH can actually increase your stress? 😲
Let’s talk about mid-day movement or exercise, especially for those women who are going through perimenopause or menopause.
Let me tell you, I used to hit intense morning workouts, then sit at my desk all day. But something felt off—I was still sluggish and stressed as the day wore on.
So, I switched it up.
Now, I incorporate consistent movement throughout the day and save my tougher workouts for noon. The result? My energy levels have skyrocketed! 😲
Why is this crucial during perimenopause and menopause?
Regular movement helps manage stress, balance hormones, and improve mood. Plus, it supports bone health—super important as we age.
And when you move less, your body doesn’t release enough endorphins, which can keep stress hormones like cortisol elevated. This can make managing weight, sleep, and overall well-being even tougher.

After years of battling with her scale, struggling to deciphering the misinformation on the interwebs and struggling with what to eat help with her menopause symptoms and weight loss, Apryl ditched the guesswork, followed my Meal Plans for Hormone Health, and dropped 10 pounds in a month. Who knew balance could taste so good? She told me I am cooking more at home now, I’m buying produce and I’m loving the way I look and feel. She even ran her first 5k. We are so stinkin’ proud of her. Drop the word 'MEALPLAN' below, and I'll send you this plan so you can start seeing results—and enjoying your meals—this week!"
Estrogen is such a Drama Queen. Well I have a tip for you to help keep the crazy away. And no it ain’t HRT… let’s do this naturally. It’s Flaxseed oil…flaxseed oil contains the omega 3’s that help boost our mood by increasing the production of serotonin, our mood regulating neurotransmitter ( a neurotransmitter just sends signals to other cells). Added bonus, that serotonin is what gets converted into melatonin for a good night’s sleep. 😴So when you’re having feelings that fluctuate Try Flaxseed oil in your smoothie, protein shake or even as a finishing oil or in dressings and soups after they cook. Bonus, you can use it on your skin for moisture and hair for growth. You’re welcome ☺️I have so many more useful, effective, holistic solutions for managing all your symptoms in #perimenopause & #menopause to help you finally feel like yourself again naturally.

It’s amazing to me how quickly the body can become deconditioned but I also welcome the new phase of rebuilding. 💪🏾
It allows me to really listen to my body and find what I truly enjoy. And for me it’s strength training. But given the enormous amount of stress I was under last year, I have to pay attention to how my body responds.
If my cortisol is still high then high impact will keep me stuck. So I spent time allowing my body to rest and recover and I am down 11lbs for January 💃🏿
Now, with today being a new month I am excited about hitting new goals as I get back to rebuilding my body, taking care of me, prepping to take the stage again and #agingforlongevity

Perimenopause isn’t that bad, it’s a time often viewed with apprehension but it’s actually a period brimming with potential.
As you journey through these transformative years, your body experiences a symphony of hormonal changes, each playing a crucial role in your overall well-being. In perimenopause, we still ovulate and there are two key hormones we can still enjoy the benefits of.
Thats estrogen and testosterone.
Let’s start with estrogen…
Rising Estrogen can be you ally for vibrancy.
As you approach ovulation, your estrogen levels will start to rise. This Increased estrogen can boost your serotonin levels, leading to a more positive outlook, making you feel happier and emotionally stable.
This hormonal surge also contributes to a healthier skin tone, resulting in a natural, radiant glow.
Your testosterone levels will also subtly rise (yes ladies…we make Testosterone too, just in smaller amounts). This rise in T can be a time of heightened energy and endurance, perfect for embracing new fitness challenges, strength training or HIIT workouts.
This rise in T will also help many women experience an increase in sexual desire, making this an ideal time to reconnect with that special someone.
But wait, it gets better….that boost in Testosterone can also enhance mental clarity, focus and creativity, aiding in personal and professional endeavors.
Key foods to focus on leading up to ovulation are cruciferous veggies to help metabolize any excess estrogen, helping prevent estrogen dominance…which tends to present as belly fat.
Perimenopause can be an amazing time if you know how to maximize it.
Have you notice any of these benefits leading up to ovulation before?

My first time in Puerto Rico was a blast and I didn’t even get to do everything as I was mostly here on business.
But I’ll def be back next winter and stay longer.
Although I had a great time my grief almost sent me home on day one. I’m learning that the year of firsts is hard because the state of disbelief is wearing off.
The first few weeks and maybe even months after you lose a spouse or anyone you loved you still can’t believe they’re gone.
Sometimes I’d walk into a room I expected to see him in and was stopped in my tracks when he wasn’t there and often I found myself saying out loud “did you really die?” Did you really leave me here alone?”.
Now I find disbelief being replaced with tears and deep sadness for everything he’s missing.
Lately though, I’ve noticed what God is doing:
He’s been sending these faith filled women into my life to let me know I’m not alone.
To show me it is possible to heal from this as I LIVE and enjoy every moment and opportunity.
I feel like I’m being guided as I rediscover who I am now that my children are grown and my husband has been called home.
I felt so empty when he first died. I kept telling people “my children are grown and my husband is dead.” That can be a really dark place. But today, I noticed that has lifted a little.
I still miss him and I’m still saddened by all he’s missing. But I can’t stop living and I refuse to waste any more time that God has granted me on this planet.
