Have You Lost Your Mojo?
Manage menopause symptoms through fitness & nutrition
Menopause can cause hormonal havoc!
You’re here because you care about yourself and your body is telling you something isn’t right, your body is changing and you just are not feeling yourself any more!
Weight gain and bloating
Hot flushes and night sweats
Joint pain and muscle aches
Mood swings and brain fog
Low energy, fatigue, and sleep problems
So why is fitness & nutrition key to managing menopause symptoms & how can it help me?
Your nutrition and lifestyle choices play an integral part in how you experience the menopause transition, as well as impacting longer-term health and risk of chronic disease. Looking holistically at how your diet and lifestyle habits affect your hormone balance and making meaningful changes can help to reduce menopausal symptoms, keep bone density and reduce the risk of heart disease whether or not you choose to take HRT.
The menopause transition period from perimenopause to post-menopause is a critical window of opportunity to support our brains and bodies to recalibrate correctly to the new, lower hormone levels. In doing so we can not only experience a more balanced, calm and smooth menopause transition with fewer disruptive symptoms, but also set ourselves up for great health, vitality and positivity for the rest of our lives.
A healthy lifestyle can minimise the effects of the peri – menopause journey, helping to keep the heart and bones healthy and strong. Many women feel that this is a good time to review the way they treat their bodies, but they don’t know where to start.
I’m Josephine,
I’m on my own perimenopause journey. I am a busy working mum yet I have always had the energy and found the time for exercise and healthy eating habits. However, three years ago, everything changed. I became exhausted, drained, and struggled with sleep disturbances, leaving me fatigued during the day. I even experienced heart palpitations, night sweats, joint pains, and insomnia. It was a scary time, and I had no idea what was happening to me.
After becoming a certified personal trainer and studying living nutrition, I recognised my perimenopause symptoms. Given my family’s breast cancer history, I chose a natural approach and further educated myself on fitness and menopause nutrition. Today, I’m peri meno symptom-free and empowered with the knowledge to manage any challenges.
I’ve embraced the Japanese word for menopause, “KonenKi,” which means renewal of years and energy. It’s a powerful and positive way to describe this journey in a woman’s life.
Every woman’s experience with perimenopause can be different, but we all have the choice to prepare ourselves and manage it. Making the right lifestyle changes and prioritizing our health will prepare us for the years ahead.
