Inflammation, Injury, and Aging: What No One Told You About Your Tendons After 45

Why do tendon injuries and inflammation increase after 45, especially for active women? In this episode, we explore how hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause affect connective tissue health, slow recovery, and create lingering pain. Learn why estrogen and progesterone are crucial for tendon strength, and discover actionable strategies—from training tweaks to hormone optimization—that help break the injury cycle and keep you thriving. If you’re dealing with stubborn elbow, hamstring, or Achilles pain, this episode will give you new tools and hope.
