The menopause lie that destroyed millions of women’s lives…

The truth? Most doctors haven’t been trained in hormone therapy since 2002.

Why? Because the WHI study scared the hell out of them and they never bothered to look at the follow-up data

The result? An entire generation of women thrown under the bus.

✅Estradiol protects your bones, brain, heart, metabolism and it’s demonized.

✅Progesterone stabilizes your mood, sleep, and uterine lining and it’s ignored.

✅Testosterone supports libido, muscle, and mental sharpness but they’ll never mention it.

Instead, you’re told it’s “just part of aging,” handed an SSRI, or worse, a hysterectomy.

This is not medicine. This is neglect.

If you’re a woman over 40, you deserve more than Mickey Mouse bloodwork and recycled 20 year-old fear-mongering.

We don’t wait for permission from the system. We fix the damn problem.

DM me ‘TRUTH’ if you want to know what your doctor isn’t telling you — and don’t forget to follow for no-BS menopause solutions that actually work.

I know I spend a lot of time talking about the basics. Because the basics work, regardless of what demographic you are in, the basics still work. Sure there can be various strategies that may be beneficial for specific populations in addition to the basics, but the basics are good for virtually ANY population: resistance train, be active, control calories, eat enough protein & fiber, get sleep, manage stress, & avoid alcohol/tobacco/drugs as much as possible. The basics work. That’s why I love this post by @teambiolayne coach @tinywarrior2020 because menopausal women get inundated with salesy information & ‘special’ protocols & do not hear about the basics enough. If you need help, comment ‘COACHING’ & I’ll DM you info on how to get expert help

Repost from @tinywarrior2020 

Perimenopause nearly buried me. Literally. I feel I can’t fully share these stories yet -at least until my littles are older and can understand. But know, it’s a miracle that I’m still here to post this.

The worst part? I felt like I wasn’t allowed to struggle.

I work in health and fitness. I’m supposed to have the answers. I’m supposed to be in control. But when perimenopause hit, I wasn’t ready. My body changed seemingly overnight. My mind spiraled. The shame was crushing.

I was exhausted, anxious, and felt like I was losing myself. And because I “should have known better,” I suffered in silence. The mental health toll nearly broke me.

If I could go back and tell my 25-year-old self one thing, it would be this:

Stop starving yourself to fit into body trends that won’t serve you later. Prioritize strength over size. Nourish your body instead of shrinking it. Track your cycle, your mood, your energy—NOW. Learn about perimenopause before it blindsides you. Information is POWER.

I won’t let anyone else go through what I did. I will use my voice so no one suffers in silence. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. And if you’re younger, please take this seriously.

💬 If you’ve been through this, what’s one thing you wish you had known sooner? 04/03/2025

Navigating the ages and stages of menopause shouldn’t feel like a solo journey. Yet so many women find themselves facing this complex life stage without the support they deserve.

Why is it so hard to find a knowledgeable provider? For decades, our healthcare systems have emphasized women’s reproductive health, but left female health beyond fertility in the shadows. This has led to a gap in education and training on menopause and related care, leaving women with limited options and often struggling to get answers.

In this video, I dive into the unique phases of menopause and why finding a trained, supportive provider can be a challenge. Knowledge and support are key—every woman deserves to feel informed, empowered, and truly seen during this time.

1️⃣ Muscle is an investment for long-term health. Muscles serve as an amino acid reservoir. As protection from oxidative stress (lifestyle choices, etc) wanes with the decrease in estrogen, amino acids are released from muscles back into the blood stream so they can go to other organs in need of repair.

2️⃣ Chasing skinny or thin is catabolic — breaks down — muscle tissue. There’s no investments being made for protection later on. Even when losing weight, often becoming more metabolically INEFFICENT as body fat *percentage* rises and lean mass decreases. Leaving someone more susceptible to metabolic disease, injury, and reduced quality of life.

3️⃣ It’s not too late to start. Everyone needs muscle for physical tasks, immune function, glucose disposal, and more regardless of age…

But it will always be better to start sooner rather than later 💪
