If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Should I push through this workout… or should I rest?” — you’re not alone.

In midlife, that question carries more weight than it used to. What once felt like motivation can suddenly feel like pressure. What once felt empowering can start to feel confusing. And when hormone imbalance enters the picture, even your best efforts at menopause exercise or strength train routines can feel unpredictable.

I was sick and I didn’t even know it.

I was a mess. My hormones are out of whack, my energy levels were at an all-time low, and my mindset was toxic. I couldn’t get enough sleep. Day in and day out, I would think about how miserable I was. This, combined with the loss of a close friend and two of my teens struggling with other issues, led to a lot of stress. I was also going through perimenopause, which caused many hormonal imbalances in my body.

I tried to fix myself. I’d exercise, but if I overdid it, it would mess with my adrenals. I tried the Whole Raw diet, but that wrecked my gut. It got to the point where I finally threw in the towel and visited my Gynecologist. She gave me two options:
