Let’s Talk: Exercise in Perimenopause

What works, why it matters, & how to make it work for you

About the talk

Perimenopause is a time of real hormonal change—and real confusion.
You might feel like your body has suddenly changed: energy dips, sleep becomes elusive, your usual workouts feel different, and symptoms like brain fog, anxiety or weight gain start creeping in.

This talk is designed to help you make sense of what’s happening—using clear, science-backed explanations—and show you how the right kind of exercise can make a real difference, both now and in the years ahead.

This session combines the latest research with practical, real-world advice. Whether you’re currently exercising or haven’t moved in years, you’ll come away with tools you can start using right away.

You’ll learn:

  • What is perimenopause, and what are the different stages of the menopause transition

  • What is actually happening in your body during perimenopause

  • Why hormonal shifts affect energy, mood, body shape, and more

  • Which types of exercise are most effective—and why

  • How to use exercise to help manage symptoms and support your long-term health and confidence

Who this is for

This talk is for you if:

  • You're in your 40s or 50s and wondering what’s going on with your body

  • You’ve been told to “just exercise more” but it’s not working (or not feeling good)

  • You’re brand new to movement—or it’s been a while—and you’re not sure where to start

  • You want clear, compassionate, evidence-based guidance without the hype
