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.For more about the podcast: www.perimenopausalconversations.comTo join a community of like minded women who meet bimonthly to question and get challenged, check out https://balanceredeemed.myflodesk.com/bimmTo learn more about Heather Skold, check out Juggling SimplicityTo learn more about Meg Fittsgill, check out http://www.balanceredeemed.comHosts: Meg Fittsgill and Heather SkoldProduction Team: Meg Fittsgill and Heather SkoldEditor: Heather SkoldShow Notes and Content: Meg Fittsgill and Michelle MiddletonDisclaimer: Donald FittsgillThis podcast may contain affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them at no extra cost to you.
