EP 252: Your Ovaries Left the Group Chat: Perimenopause, Overtraining + Why You Feel Like Shit
Welcome back to Strong + Unfiltered. This episode turned into a spicy little reality check about perimenopause, overtraining, body recomposition, endurance culture, nervous system overload, and the internet making women think they're doomed in midlife. We're talking about why your habits matter more than your hormones, why some women are running themselves into the ground emotionally and physically, and why HRT is not magic fairy dust you throw onto a metabolic dumpster fire.
We also get into body recomposition in your 40s, what actually worked for me over the last 16 weeks, why I intentionally stopped running, how much protein women actually need, the importance of sleep + recovery, and the role stress, histamine, and nervous system dysregulation play in how you feel.
And yes… we somehow also ended up ranting about marathon culture during pregnancy, social media support, avocado-induced histamine chaos, and why some endurance athletes respectfully need therapy.
