Maximizing Fitness, Physique & Running Through Perimenopause

In this episode, Louise shares another success story from the Badass Breakthrough Academy, featuring Chrissy, a yoga instructor and studio owner. She shares how personalized coaching helped her navigate the challenges of perimenopause and menopause, including hormonal changes, weight gain, mood swings, joint pain and unexpected mental health impacts. Chrissy highlights the importance of customizing fitness and nutrition plans to suit individual needs instead of relying on one-size-fits-all programs.
Key tips include balancing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and adding practical health hacks to a busy life. Chrissy stresses that strength training as we age isn't just about getting stronger—it's about building resilience and balance. They also talk about the benefits of shorter, consistent workouts, keeping muscles and bones healthy, and pacing exercises for long-term success.
Focusing on body positivity and embracing life’s changes, Louise, as one of the world’s leading health and fitness experts, also explores the freedom that comes with self-acceptance and learning how to work with your unique female body's changing needs in a way that fits your lifestyle for realistically sustainable success.
