At 48 years old, Gina Perin is in the best shape of her life but her journey here was anything but easy. As a fitness trainer, entrepreneur, and midlife women’s coach, Gina knows firsthand what it’s like to face the physical and emotional challenges of perimenopause while trying to stay healthy, run a business, and live life to the fullest.
In this deeply personal and empowering conversation, Gina shares how she transformed her body, mindset, and business after experiencing devastating life events, including her brother’s passing and the onset of perimenopause a stage she knew almost nothing about when it began.
From hot flashes and rapid weight gain to emotional overwhelm and the frustrating reality of doing everything right but still not seeing results, Gina learned the hard way that traditional fitness and diet advice often fails women in midlife. That’s when she took control, sought out a hormone specialist, and completely changed her approach to training, nutrition, and self-care.
In this episode, you’ll learn
Why lifting weights is essential for women in perimenopause and beyond and why the “pink dumbbells” won’t cut it
How to balance strength training with smart cardio for optimal health and fat loss after 40
The early warning signs of perimenopause that every woman should watch for (even in her 30s)
How tracking your cycle and symptoms can help you take back control of your energy, focus, and mood
The truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and why working with a specialist can be life-changing
Why mindset shifts and self-awareness are just as important as physical training during this stage of life
Gina also opens up about launching the Coach Gina app, a safe, private space designed specifically for midlife women to track their health, access tailored workouts and nutrition guidance, learn about hormonal health, and find emotional support from a like-minded community.
Whether you’re already experiencing perimenopause, approaching midlife, or simply want to future-proof your health, Gina’s advice is practical, compassionate, and backed by personal experience. She breaks down the misconceptions, tackles the stigma, and shows you how this can actually be the most empowering time of your life.
Listen, learn, and take the first step toward your strongest, healthiest midlife.
