Hey Sister! Mailbag: Perimenopause Training Secrets You Need to Know

Today, Michelle is diving back into the Hey Sister! Mailbag and answering your questions about one of the biggest transitions women face: perimenopause - and how training, lifestyle, and mindset can help us navigate our way through it.

This episode is personal. Michelle shares her journey of discovering she was in perimenopause (during lockdown no less), the choice to go on HRT now known as MHT (Menopausal Hormone Therapy), and how she now approaches training, nutrition and life.

Spoiler: strength training, fueling your body and proper recovery are non-negotiables!

We cover:

Why your metabolism isn’t “broken” - and how the right training can fire it back up
The sleep–fuel connection: what you should eat, when and why rest is a must
Yoga and Pilates are great... but here’s why they can’t be the only thing you do
The eternal debate: weights vs cardio
What really works when it comes to managing weight in midlife - no fads, just facts

Supplements Michelle recommends: Creatine, Vitamin D (sun and spray), Magnesium (glycinate for sleep and relaxation and malate for energy and muscle recovery), pre and probiotics, protein (20-30g per meal) and Omega 3s (500-1000 milligrams).

A huge thanks to Hey Sister! and 12WBT for making this episode possible.
