In winter of 2022, my body started changing after turning 40, including what felt like unstoppable weight gain and an insatiable appetite. 

Nothing had changed about my diet or exercise. So I assumed the inevitable...

Was entering peri-menopause?!

(Guys - you're going to want to read on because chances are you know someone who is going through this, too).

Mark, did you know that peri-menopause (the phase leading up to menopause during which some women experience stereotypical symptoms like hot flashes) can start as early as age 35 and last up to ten years?

There is no single, verified test to indicate that you're officially in peri-menopause.

All we can do is test for FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and assess our symptoms, including if we're still ovulating and getting periods.

Here's the thing:

Many women are getting tests done showing low or high estrogen + low progesterone and assuming they're in peri-menopause when really, they're not! They are suffering from imbalanced hormones that's impacting their cycles.

My FSH was normal and nothing changed about my cycle which ruled me as not in peri-menopause, so what the heck was going on?

This lead me down an even deeper rabbit hole of hormone health education.

And what I've been studying all this year has been mind-blowing.

I came to find that I was most definitely not in peri-menopause... 

I was suffering from pre-diabetes, high cortisol, and leptin resistance causing chronic stress and weight gain after age 40.

And after implementing basic, free, simple lifestyle changes, I was able to get my body back to homeostasis rather quickly.

So if not peri-menopause, what was going on?

[Side note: men can suffer from these symptoms, too, of unexplained weight gain after mid-30's, low energy, etc. even if nothing has changed to diet and exercise.]

After age 35, hormones naturally start to down regulate for both men and women. 

This is when we start to see the impact of lifestyle habits - for better or for worse - really start to manifest in the body.

What I came to discover was that all of the dysfunction and inflammation in my body was resulting from a dis-regulation of my master hormones: cortisol and melatonin.

These hormones regulate so many other downstream hormones and processes in the body. 

We can be eating perfectly and exercising the right amount and type... but if our master hormones are out of whack, it will be an uphill battle trying to manage your appetite, energy, and metabolism and you'll likely hit a plateau around your 40's if not earlier.

In our January group coaching cohort, we'll dive deep into easy changes you can make to support healthy hormones and how to actually implement these habits within the context of most modern lifestyles.
