WHY UNDERSTANDING YOUR HORMONES CHANGES EVERYTHING

Feel Like Your Body Isn’t Playing by the Rules Anymore?

You’re eating healthy (mostly). You’re dragging yourself to the gym. You’re skipping the wine (okay, sometimes). And yet… the weight keeps creeping up, your energy is flatlining, and your mood is a rollercoaster you did not sign up for.

I want you to know, that it’s not about a lack of willpower, discipline, or effort on your part.

It’s about your hormones.

Most women hit their late 30s and early 40s and suddenly feel like nothing works anymore - but that’s because what worked in your 20s and 30s won’t work the same way now. Your body’s needs have shifted. And if you don’t understand why, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of frustration, self-blame, and exhausting guesswork.

But when you understand what’s going on under the hood, everything changes. Here’s why.

1. LESS FRUSTRATION, MORE RESULTS

Perimenopause isn’t a problem to fix - it’s a transition your body is going through.

The real problem?

Most women are trying to force their body to behave the way it used to.

And that’s where the frustration kicks in.

• Why is nothing working anymore?
• Why do I feel like my body is fighting against me?
• Why does eating healthy and exercising not seem to make a difference?

It’s because perimenopause is a phase of hormone change - not balance.

For years, you’ve been told that health is about eating less and moving more. But when your hormones shift, that old equation stops adding up.

That’s why the old tricks - cutting calories, doing more cardio, skipping meals - don’t just stop working, they backfire.

When you understand your hormones, you stop asking “Why isn’t this working?” and start asking “What does my body actually need right now?” That’s when you see real results.

2. MORE ENERGY, BETTER SLEEP & A MOOD THAT DOESN’T SWING LIKE A TEENAGER’S

If you’re waking up exhausted, wired-but-tired at night, or snapping at your partner for breathing too loudly, your hormones are likely involved.

Understanding them means:

✅ You can spot what’s draining your energy (hint: it’s not just “getting older”)
✅ You can support your body instead of pushing through exhaustion
✅ You finally start waking up feeling refreshed instead of like you’ve been hit by a truck

And the best part? You don’t need to rely on caffeine to wake up or a glass of wine to wind down, because your body actually feels good again.

3. FOOD FREEDOM (AND NO MORE GUILT OVER CARBS OR CRAVINGS)

Raise your hand if you’ve been:

🚫 Craving chocolate at 9pm
🚫 Feeling hangry between meals
🚫 Eating “too many” carbs 

Your hunger and cravings aren’t random. They’re messages from your body.

For decades, women have been told to ignore cravings. That you just need to try harder, resist the yummy foods and drinks, to be able to lose weight and be healthy.

That’s absolute nonsense.

Your hormones and neurotransmitters control your hunger, fullness, and cravings. And when they shift?

• You crave sugar when you don’t eat enough, and your blood sugar is unstable.
• You crave carbs when your body needs an instant energy hit or a mood boost.
• You crave wine because you’re chasing a dopamine hit, not the alcohol itself.

Understanding your hormones means you can stop fighting cravings and start working with your body.

Instead of:

❌ Trying to “resist” cravings (which never works)

✅ You can eat in a way that prevents them from hijacking your day

And no - you don’t have to quit carbs. You just need to know how to eat them in a way that works with your hormones, not against them.

4. NO MORE WASTING TIME & MONEY ON THINGS THAT DON’T WORK

Let’s be real. Women are constantly being marketed quick fixes:

💸 Expensive supplements that promise to “balance your hormones”
💸 Detox teas that claim to reset your metabolism
💸 Meal plans that leave you starving and exhausted

And it’s easy to fall for them, because when you don’t understand what’s happening in your body, you’ll try anything to feel better.

Knowledge is power.

When you understand your hormones, you cut through the noise and know exactly where to focus your efforts.

No more:

🚫 Wasting money on supplements that don’t actually fix the problem
🚫 Following generic meal plans that aren’t designed for your body
🚫 Hoping something works without knowing why

Instead, you’ll make informed choices - because you understand what your body actually needs.

5. YOU’RE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR A HEALTHY, ACTIVE FUTURE

Perimenopause isn’t just about getting through today - it’s about setting yourself up for a strong, healthy body in your 50s, 60s, and beyond.

The choices you make now affect your:

✅ Metabolism – so you don’t just “accept” weight gain as inevitable
✅ Bone health – because osteoporosis isn’t just a post-menopause problem
✅ Heart health – because declining estrogen can impact your cardiovascular system
✅ Brain health – because dementia risk can be influenced by the choices you make now

Let’s not forget that many of us grew up being told to trust doctors without question.

• Take the pill.
• Go on HRT.
• Cut your calories, exercise more.

But the medical system was built for disease and acute injury treatment, not preventative health. And for too long, women’s health - especially perimenopause and menopause - has been misunderstood and dismissed.

When you understand your hormones, you stop feeling like a passenger in your own body - and start making intentional choices that serve you.

Because let’s be honest—you don’t just want to survive this phase.

You want to thrive.
