Your body often tells the truth before your mind is ready to admit it. In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise Valentine, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, shares a deeply personal look at what happens when major life stress collides with fitness, hormones, running, and midlife health. Through her own experience with devastating family news, interrupted sleep, inflammation, gut changes, low energy, and emotional overload, Louise explains why pushing harder is not always the answer, especially during perimenopause.Listeners will learn how to recognize when the body is reaching its stress tipping point, why exercise can become counterproductive when cortisol is already high, and how to adjust workouts, fueling, recovery, and lifestyle habits with more care. Louise also shares practical tools like eating more when sleep is disrupted, scaling back intensity, foam rolling with calming music, red light therapy, family connection, therapy, and brain spotting. This episode is a powerful reminder that resilience is not always about doing more. Sometimes, it starts with slowing down before your body forces you to.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Learn & level up faster with a Breaking Through Wellness masterclass here, including my How to Support & Restore Your Gut Health Mini Course.Find a brain spotting therapist near you: https://brainspotting.com/directory/Explore client success stories & educational resources on my blog here.Read my best-selling book, The Art of Breaking Through, found on Amazon here.Explore Joovv Red Light Therapy devices here.Take advantage of our podcast listener discount & save 20% off Kion's science-backed clean products.

In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading perimenopause experts, continues part three of her Ultimate Perimenopause Masterclass for ambitious active women and female runners. She explains why exercise recovery, strategic adjustments in strength training, running, nutrition, and environmental exposure matter even more as hormones shift. Louise shares why women over 35 need smarter fueling, more intentional lifting, better recovery, and less “run yourself into the ground” thinking to protect muscle, bone density, hormones, and long-term health.She also talks about the importance of strength training for longevity, injury prevention, body composition, and staying active for life. Later, Louise covers detox myths, air quality, product ingredients, alcohol, processed foods, and simple ways to reduce toxic load without living in fear or extremes. This episode is a clear reminder that hormone changes do not have to mean decline, frustrating symptoms or setbacks. With the right plan and education, women can feel strong, run well, and age with power.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Learn & level up faster with a Breaking Through Wellness masterclass here, including the Gut Health, Ferritin & Injury Prevention mini courses + Free Summer Planning Workshop mentioned throughout this podcast masterclass series.Learn more on my blog here with client success stories & articles, including simple female age 35+ specific hydration & long running fueling strategies. Take advantage of our podcast listener discount & save 20% off Kion's science-backed clean products.

You were never meant to lose strength, energy, muscle, and confidence just because your hormones started changing!  In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise Valentine, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, breaks down how perimenopause can affect fat storage, protein absorption, blood sugar, recovery, running performance, and injury risk. She challenges the outdated belief that women are destined to lose muscle, see our body composition, health, fitness, and bones decline with age. She explains why the right tools, fueling strategy, strength work, and hormone-supportive nutrition can change the outcome - and how it is for hundreds of women throughout the world.Louise also explains why active women need more high-quality protein compared to the general population, why low-carb dieting and fasted training backfire, and how blood sugar crashes most often show up as fatigue, cravings, night sweats, poor sleep, or stubborn belly fat. This episode is especially useful for female runners and active women over 35 who want to understand their changing bodies without fear, confusion, misleading fads, or extreme rules. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your body is not broken. It just needs a smarter strategy for this new phase of life. This is the conversation every active woman over 35 should hear - because understanding that's happening changes everything.Get ready to learn and level up with a heck of a lot less stress and confusion!

Your body is not failing you. However, it is likely asking you to change the way you fuel, train, and live to support it as your hormones change.In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise Valentine, a multi award-winning women's integrative health practitioner, exercise physiologist and performance scientist, gives an honest, fiery overview of what active women and runners need to understand about perimenopause, hormone shifts, cortisol, belly bloat, energy crashes, sleep issues, gut health, and stubborn body composition changes. She explains why many women feel frustrated when the usual advice around running, dieting, fasting, supplements, or even general medical support does not fully address what is happening in their changing bodies.Louise also shares why ambitious, fitness-minded women often notice symptoms earlier because they are so tuned in to performance, recovery, strength, digestion, and mood. This episode helps listeners see that hormone havoc is not something to ignore or “push through.” With the right education, fueling, training, and stress support, women can work with their female physiology instead of against it and keep feeling strong, energized, and capable as they age.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Learn & level up faster with a Breaking Through Wellness masterclass here, including the Gut Health, Ferritin & Injury Prevention mini courses + Free Summer Planning Workshop mentioned throughout this podcast series.Learn more on my blog here with client success stories & articles, including simple female age 35+ specific hydration & long running fueling strategies. Take advantage of our podcast listener discount & save 20% off Kion's science-backed clean products.

What happens when the goal you once wanted starts costing you the life, energy, long-term health or body composition results you actually want?In this relatable episode, Louise, one of the world's leading exercise physiologists, health, and performance scientists, welcomes Jen back for a conversation about midlife fitness, perimenopause, running goals, family stress, and learning when to pivot. They share how training for the Cleveland half marathon became harder than expected, not because they were doing anything “wrong,” but because life, hormones, recovery, and stress started to collide.Louise and Jen talk about the importance of listening to your body, watching signs like energy, HRV, inflammation, thyroid symptoms, and loss of joy in training. They explore why chasing a PR is not always worth it if it comes at the cost of health, physique changes, improving strength, family connection, or long-term wellness.This episode is a powerful reminder that midlife fitness is not about quitting. It is about adjusting with wisdom. Listeners will walk away encouraged to honor their current season, protect their energy, and build a fitness plan that supports strength, joy, hormones, and longevity.

Great News: Your strongest, most fit, capable, lean, and healthy body isn't behind you - It's just getting started!In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading women's integrative health, fitness and performance experts, breaks down whether women can truly return to peak fitness in midlife, especially through perimenopause and menopause. Her answer is yes, but it simply requires redefining what “peak” means relative to working with your changing female physiology. Instead of chasing old PRs or forcing the same training methods from your 20s and 30s, Louise encourages women to build a body that is strong, energized, injury-resistant, and able to support the vibrant, active life they want for decades.She explains why female runners and active women need to work with their changing hormones, not against them. That includes smarter fueling, strength training, stress and cortisol management, sleep, gut health, and realistic running goals. Louise also challenges the idea that weight loss is the goal, reminding listeners that body recomposition, muscle, bone health, and functional strength matter far more than the number on the scale.This episode is for any woman who wants to feel strong, capable, fit, and confident in midlife without burning herself out.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Take my Fit & Fabulous Summer Planning Workshop for FREE here!Check out my FullScript here where you can see my curated favorite supplement picks, by topic, to address your concerns & save 25% off!  A small portion of EACH sale goes back to support BTW.  Thank you!Take advantage of our podcast listener discount & save 20% off Kion's science-backed clean products.

What if the protein you've been so carefully tracking is giving you a fraction of the muscle-building benefit you think it is? That question stopped me in my tracks, and I think it's going to stop you too. I brought Angelo Keely back to the show for exactly this conversation. Angelo is the CEO and co-founder of Kion, and he works alongside the top scientists in protein and amino acid research. Our last episode together changed how I think about protein entirely, and this one went deeper. Here's what we get into: your protein needs don't decrease as you age, they actually go up, and most of us don't know why. Angelo explains what's happening at the cellular level when you eat protein, why a smaller amount of steak eaten alone can outperform a much larger portion eaten with your vegetables, and what that means for how you're fueling your body every single day. He also breaks down why BCAAs are largely a waste of money (and might actually be working against you), what the research actually says about creatine for women (it does not make your muscles bigger, and the bloating fear is mostly myth), and how to think about leucine, essential amino acids, and what to look for on a supplement label so you're not getting ripped off. If you're on a GLP-1, dieting, or just trying to hold onto muscle as you age, the section on caloric deficits and amino acid needs alone is worth the entire listen. The research Angelo shares from Department of Defense-funded studies will completely reframe how you think about cutting calories and preserving muscle at the same time. This one is practical, science-backed, and genuinely eye-opening. Angelo is one of the clearest voices in nutrition science when it comes to cutting through the noise, and I always leave our conversations with something I can actually use.   Visit http://getkion.com/nataliejill for 20% off your order!   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About KION Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/kion Website ➜ http://getkion.com/nataliejill   Thank you to our show sponsors:  COZY EARTH: Discover how Cozy Earth turns everyday routines into moments of softness and ease.

Not every viral menopause tip deserves a place in your body. In this episode of Maximizing Hormones, Physique, and Running Through Perimenopause, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading perimenopause experts, gets honest about hormone replacement therapy, menopause hormone therapy, and the confusing advice active women are hearing online.Louise explains why HRT and MHT should not be treated as a one-size-fits-all solution, especially for women in their 40s who still have powerful ways to support their hormones naturally. She challenges - with solid science to back it up - popular trends like weighted vest walking and fear-based messaging around menopause. Louise explains why female-specific fueling, strength training, sleep, lifestyle, and proper lab monitoring should be part of the conversation before jumping into medication.This episode is especially useful for active women, runners, and high-achievers who want to age strong, protect their bones, feel energized, and make informed choices without panic. Louise encourages listeners to think critically, ask better questions, work with trusted providers, and build a strong foundation that supports the female body through perimenopause and beyond.RESOURCES + LINKSLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Link to check out Function Health & save $25 off comprehensive, proactive blood work: https://my.functionhealth.com/signup?code=LVALENTINE11&_saasquatch=LVALENTINE11 And - $25 goes back to support BTW with each new sign up!

I explain why total protein intake is only part of the story, and we explore common mistakes (like backloading protein at dinner or relying on high-fat protein sources) that may be holding you back.Plus, in Health News You Can Use, I share interesting results of a new study on vegetarian and vegan diets that sheds light on potential risks for bone health.

In mid-life, unlocking the next level of your health, fitness, or performance is not about doing more, but doing the right things that work with your changing female body - and with consistency.In this episode, Louise, a one of the world's leading women's integrative health practitioners and exercise physiologists, shares four simple reminders for women in perimenopause who want to feel strong, energized, and in control again. She talks about how easy it is to feel overwhelmed when your body starts changing, especially if you are someone who is driven, active, and used to pushing through.One of the biggest takeaways is that the potential you admire in the success stories you hear from the women of Breaking Through Wellness already exists in you. Louise also explains why real, authentic support matters so much in this season. Social media noise, random advice, and trying to figure it all out alone can keep women stuck. Instead, she encourages listeners to find a trusted support system, protect their time and energy, and stay consistent with simple habits that actually fit their life.This episode is helpful for any woman who feels frustrated by changing hormones, low energy, body changes, or the pressure of balancing health, family, work, and fitness.

You think your motivation is the reason you keep showing up… but it might actually be the exact reason you keep quitting. Sal, Adam, and Justin break down why basing your entire fitness identity around how you LOOK is a ticking time bomb… and why the most disciplined, hardest working people are often the first ones to burn out and walk away. This is the episode that changes how you think about fitness forever. The guys go deep on what it actually means to have a HEALTHY relationship with fitness… one that carries you through surgeries, stress, new babies, bad sleep, and every curveball life throws at you. They share real client stories, including a woman who went through surgery and major life stress and almost couldn't see the massive progress she had made because she was so locked in on the wrong metrics. Sound familiar? It should. Because this is almost EVERYONE. Plus… Sal shares the gorilla suit psychology experiment that perfectly explains why fixating on appearance causes you to completely miss all the other incredible benefits fitness is giving you. And Adam opens up about the pivotal moment he finally gave himself permission to just go do four sets of squats and leave… and why that single shift made him look BETTER than his peak shape in his mid twenties. This is the mindset upgrade your fitness journey has been missing. Live caller coaching follows the intro for even more real world application.

What if fueling your best health, hormones, physique, and fitness in perimenopause didn't have to be confusing, complicated, or suck? Answer: It doesn't have to!In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading women's integrative health practitioners and exercise physiologists, and her client Jen talk about why dinner can feel like the breaking point for so many women, especially busy, active moms and runners trying to stay lean, energized, and healthy. They break down how simple, yet strategically balanced meals can support better hormones, stable happy blood sugar, eliminate cravings, improve sleep, and provide your best energy for training and daily life. Also, why and how they eat nachos nearly every single week!This conversation takes the pressure off perfection - yet still drives kickass results! Instead of pushing restriction, Louise and Jen focus on practical ways to build meals with enough protein, carbs, veggies, and healthy fats so eating well feels realistic for the whole family. They also share helpful ideas for sports nights, batch cooking, healthier swaps, and teaching kids that food is fuel - not be feared, but also not to be treated as an everyday buffet of sugar and less nourishing snacks. This episode is especially useful for women who feel like they do well all day, then lose control at night. The big takeaway is that dinner does not need to be complicated. With a little strategy, it can become one of the best tools for feeling better.RESOURCES + LINKSFind Louise's super simple Gluten Free Low Sugar Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe on the Breaking Through Wellness blog hereLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Check out my FullScript here where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20% off under “Catalog” → “Favorites”   A small portion of EACH sale goes back to support BTW.  Thank you!Take advantage of our podcast listener discount & save 20% off Kion's science-backed clean products, including our favorite omega supplement to pair with dinner, Kion Omega.

Feeling confused about how and what to eat for dinner to best support your female body's ability to mitigate perimenopause symptoms and maximize your health, hormones, and fitness in mid-life?In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading exercise physiologists, nutrition, and women's health experts, and her co-host Jen tackle one of the biggest struggles for active women in perimenopause: how to make dinner work for your changing body, your goals, and your family. They share practical ways to build optimal meals that are simple, filling, and realistic, without feeling like you need a separate kitchen just to eat healthy and strategically. A big takeaway is that dinner should include specific portions of protein, carbs, healthy fats, and plenty of colorful veggies to support hormone production, your best stable energy, optimal recovery, performance gains, leaning out, and fat loss results. They also remind listeners that perfection is not the goal. Small swaps, strategic ingredients, and female-specific nutrient timing can make a big difference in empowering you to enjoy "fun" foods while still feeling, looking, and performing your best!This episode is especially helpful for ambitious active women who feel like they “do everything right” all day, then lose control at dinner. Louise and Jen show that you can stay lean, fuel your workouts, enjoy pizza night, and empower your family to fuel vibrantly well without guilt, confusion, or overwhelm.

She opens up about painful experiences, the fight to be taken seriously as a female leader in top health and performance spaces, and how that journey shaped her mission to help women feel, look, and perform their best with female-specific science, simplicity, and ease-filled sustainable success.Louise gives three simple strategies to eliminate brain fog and support vibrant energy in perimenopause. She breaks down the logic and formula of the Breaking Through Wellness morning rehydration strategy, why caffeine timing matters more than most women realize, and how a short walk after lunch can improve blood sugar, focus, brain health, and overall well-being. The biggest takeaway is that perimenopause does not have to feel confusing or miserable. With practical, female-specific strategies, women can work with their changing bodies instead of fighting them.

What if the real answer is not more supplements, but a better understanding of what your female body actually needs?In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading women's integrative health, fitness, and performance experts, challenges the idea that women in perimenopause need a growing list of pills, powders, and quick fixes just to feel normal again. She explains why so many active women are stuck in a reactive cycle with supplements, medications, and restrictive strategies, when the deeper issue is often a lack of female-specific education around hormones, stress, fueling, training, and recovery.One of the biggest takeaways is that supporting the body through whole foods, smart nutrient timing, balanced training, blood sugar stability, and lower daily stress can often do more than chasing the latest wellness trend. Louise also breaks down how underfueling, fasted training, too much caffeine, and overexercising can quietly make symptoms worse, especially for runners and high-performing women in this season of life.This episode is helpful for women who want a simpler, more sustainable way to improve energy, body composition, hormones, fitness, and athletic performance without feeling dependent on endless supplements.

If you're only lifting weights to build muscle… you might be leaving serious gains on the table. In this episode, the guys break down why strength training alone isn't always enough, and how adding the right forms of cardio, mobility work, recovery, and even modalities like Pilates can actually improve muscle growth, performance, and longevity. They explain how your "gas tank" (cardiovascular fitness) can limit your strength, why mobility unlocks more muscle potential, and how tools like sauna use and recovery strategies can enhance results without overtraining. The conversation also expands into modern stress, community, and why human connection may be one of the most overlooked factors in overall health and resilience. Plus, they dive into new research on fish oil and mental health, and share some wild fitness and animal facts along the way.   The Spring Bundle: Symmetry ($187), Prime ($107), Advanced Training Techniques Guide ($47) all for $147 (over 50% off) mapsmarch.com This episode is brought to you by KION ! ⇨⇨go to ⁠getkion.com/mindpump⁠ 20% off, No code needed automatically applied at check out!   This episode is also brought to you by Troscriptions! ⇨⇨go to ⁠troscriptions.com/MINDPUMP⁠ Use code "MINDPUMP" for 10% off your first order   What does Seed Daily Synbiotic do for you?

Protein is everywhere. But the part of protein that actually does the work for muscle, recovery, metabolism, and staying lean is something most people rarely talk about: essential amino acids. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle podcast with Angelo Keely. We also chat about why amino acids outperform protein powder for muscle synthesis, why muscle loss quietly begins after 30, and how essential amino acids help preserve muscle during fat loss, fasting, and intense training.

If you're like the ladies of Breaking Through Wellness - wow, do we love our high-quality sleep so we can keep feeling, looking, and running our best!  Most serious wellness and fitness-minded women already know the importance of high quality sleep and we do our best to protect it. But - then the time changes.  Are you too shocked at the impacts it can have on your training and energy? One night's poor sleep can catch up with us in our training not the next day, but even days later!  And in Louise's sleep specific research, she saw that cognitive decline was significant with just ONE night's poor sleep. Let's take action and do something about it so we can keep leveling up through perimenopause and beyond!Often, the reason our workouts and nutrition suddenly stop working the way they used to has nothing to do with discipline - and everything to do with sleep and our changing hormones!In this episode, leading exercise physiologist and women's integrative health practitioner Louise Valentine explains how sleep disruptions during perimenopause can derail fitness results, energy, and recovery. Even small changes can affect hormones like estrogen and progesterone, leading to fatigue, poor performance, cravings, or stubborn weight fluctuations.Louise shares why sleep is the foundation for hormone balance, fat loss, and  performance, especially for active women and runners navigating hormonal shifts. She also highlights how factors like dehydration, blood sugar, stress, and sleep environment can amplify these challenges.Listeners will learn practical strategies to protect sleep, hormones, and recovery. From maintaining consistent sleep routines and improving sleep hygiene to hydration and fueling strategies, Louise emphasizes simple science-backed lifestyle habits that can help women stay energized, strong, and resilient.RESOURCESLearn with my free nutrition guide & award-winning 1:1 Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Take my free masterclass about Lifewave patches & order hereCheck out my FullScript here where you can see curated best supplement picks, including Thorne's Magnesium Bysglycinate & the Concentrace Minerals mentioned in this podcast.

This simple and effective upgrade to your health, hormones and performance only takes two minutes a day!In this episode, Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading integrative health practitioners and exercise physiologists, explores a hidden challenge many active women face during perimenopause: chronic stress, elevated cortisol and blood sugar. For driven women who love running, training hard, and pushing themselves, the constant “go, go, go” mindset can quietly disrupt hormones, insulin sensitivity, recovery, and long-term health. Louise explains how intense training, under-fueling, caffeine, and daily life stress can compound, leaving many women feeling exhausted, stuck with stubborn fat loss, or even facing rising blood sugar levels.The good news is that the solution does not have to be complicated. Louise introduces a simple but powerful tool called a pause practice. By intentionally slowing down for just a few minutes during stressful transition points in the day, women can calm the nervous system, regulate cortisol, and improve recovery.Listeners will learn how small moments of awareness, breathing, and presence can shift not only their health and training results, but also their energy, mood, and family environment. Sometimes the most powerful performance strategy is learning when to pause.Apply what you learned with a simple yet highly effective daily pause practice in podcast episode 124B that immediately follows today's episode!LINKS + RESOURCESLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Check out my FullScript here where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20 % off.

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your health today is simply pause and slow down to notice how strong, capable, and resilient you are?In this short guided daily practice, listeners are invited to step out of the constant momentum of daily life and reconnect with their bodies through a simple pause practice. Many of us move through stressful days on autopilot, pushing forward without noticing how tension and mental noise build up. This episode offers a practical way to interrupt that cycle.Through mindful breathing, slowing down movement, and tuning into physical sensations, the pause practice helps calm the nervous system and restore inner balance. Host Louise Valentine encourages listeners to lengthen their exhales, notice areas of tension in the body, and gently relax the shoulders, jaw, and face. These small shifts can help quiet racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present moment.By practicing this daily reset, listeners can support healthier stress responses, improve emotional balance, hormone balance, blood sugar responses, and cultivate a deeper sense of calm. Over time, these brief pauses can help shift life from constant pressure and “powering through” toward a more peaceful and energized way of living.Learn how to maximize use of this simple yet highly effective daily pause practice in podcast episode 124A. Louise discusses why it can help hack your cortisol response, balance blood sugar and your hormones with greater calm and ease.LINKS + RESOURCESLearn & level up with my free nutrition guide & award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Check out my FullScript here where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20% off.

What if perimenopause could actually become one of the strongest, healthiest seasons of your life? In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading women's integrative health practitioners, performance scientists, and exercise physiologists, sits down with Jen to share a transformation story that challenges everything many women believe about aging, hormones, body recomposition, running, and performance!Jen highlights how simple, consistent strategies like whole-food nutrition, strategic strength training, and fueling that works with our unique changing hormones and female physiology can lead to meaningful changes in body composition, energy, confidence, and biomarkers without relying heavily on medications or extreme protocols. The conversation explores how small, sustainable, and highly strategic habits compound over time, why a community of strong women's support matters most during midlife, and mindset shifts that can help women move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.Listeners will walk away with reassurance that progress does not require perfection, endless supplements, diets, or expensive tools. Instead, it comes from learning how to work with our female body, not against it.

Perimenopause does not have to be the beginning of decline, but can instead be the start of your strongest chapter! In this inspiring success story, Louise, a leading expert for perimenopausal active women and runners, sits down with Jen, an everyday runner and mom who transformed her health, hormones, and body composition after years of frustration. Jen shares how anxiety, overtraining, fasting, and misinformation left her injured and stuck, despite doing everything she thought was “right.” The turning point came when she learned to fuel her body to build beautiful hormones and mitigate symptoms, apply specific targeted strength training, adjust her running, and work with her hormones instead of against them.Listeners will take away a powerful reminder that thriving in perimenopause does not require extreme diets or complicated protocols. Simple yet strategic consistent habits are often the most effective. This episode also highlights how community support, understanding your body's signals, and using whole foods strategically can improve energy, reduce inflammation, and restore confidence.If you feel discouraged by changing hormones, stubborn belly fat, being told there is nothing you can do about your genetic predispositions, or frustrating injuries that make you question your future as an active woman, Jen's story shows what is possible with the right approach, support, and mindset.RESOURCESLearn with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Take Injury Prevention for Women Runners 30+ or my Female Runners Guide to Support Optimal Ferritin Masterclasses mentioned here.Grab a free monthly goal planning calendar & learn how to use it here.Get $25 off Function's comprehensive labs here or use code LVALENTINE11 Check out FullScript here where you can see curated supplement picks & save 20% off.

Most symptoms we're dealing with as active women and runners aren't random at all, but are instead clues our body is trying to give us.In this episode, Louise, a multi-award-winning women's integrative health practitioner, shares three powerful lessons from her own health journey and client experiences that every woman should know, especially during perimenopause. She explains how hormone shifts can impact everything from medical testing accuracy to inflammation, fat loss resistance, stress sensitivity, and even unexpected symptoms like canker sores. One key insight is the importance of timing medical screenings, such as breast MRIs, with your menstrual cycle to improve accuracy. Another is the complex relationship between estrogen, histamine, and hormone replacement therapy, and how individual genetics can influence reactions.Louise also highlights how stress, calorie restriction, and hormonal fluctuations can trigger symptoms that seem unrelated, and offers practical strategies to manage acute issues while still addressing root causes like gut health and hormone balance.This episode is a reminder that women's health is highly individualized. Understanding your unique physiology, tracking patterns, and using targeted strategies can help you feel more in control, improve performance, and support long-term health through every stage of life.Explore my "All About Gut Health" and other masterclasses here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/store Link to my FullScript where you can see curated best supplement picks and save 20%: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Learn and level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products.

This episode offers a radically compassionate and science-backed perspective on why pain persists - and how true healing begins by understanding the mind-body connection. In this powerful episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, hosts Marnie Dachis Marmet and Stephanie May Potter sit down with psychotherapist, author, and chronic pain expert Nicole Sachs to explore the neuroscience of pain, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional repression. Nicole shares her personal story of healing from debilitating spinal pain and explains why pain is not imagined, emotional, or "all in your head" - but rather a protective response from the brain. Through deep storytelling, real-life examples, and practical tools, this conversation introduces listeners to Nicole's signature practice, JournalSpeak, and offers a hopeful, empowering roadmap for anyone living with chronic pain, anxiety, or persistent health struggles. _______________________________________ What You'll Learn in This Episode: ● Why chronic pain is a protective response from the nervous system ● The difference between acute pain and chronic pain ● Why structural findings on MRIs don't always explain ongoing pain ● How the brain chooses where pain shows up in the body ● What the "emotional reservoir" is and how it overflows ● Why pain often moves locations when the root cause isn't addressed ● How stress, trauma, and perfectionism affect the nervous system ● How journalSpeak is a powerful tool for expressing and processing emotions. ● How meditation supports nervous system regulation ● Why curiosity, compassion, and patience are essential for healing _______________________________________ Noteworthy Quotes from the Episode: ● "Pain is a protective function of the human body." - Nicole Sachs ● "The pain is not emotional - it's the result of your nervous system responding to emotion." - Nicole Sachs ● "Your nervous system is on point. It's doing exactly what it was designed to do." - Nicole Sachs ● "Life is not a choice between what hurts and what doesn't. It's a choice between what hurts and what hurts worse." - Nicole Sachs ● "You are allowed to get curious." - Nicole Sachs ● "You have so much more power over your health than you realize." - Nicole Sachs _______________________________________ Episode Breakdown with Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Nicole Sachs and her approach to mind-body healing 05:12 - Discovering Dr. John Sarno and mind-body medicine 08:57 - Emotional stress and physical symptoms explained 17:06 - Structural findings vs root causes of pain 24:59 - Why lack of pain doesn't equal emotional balance 31:20 - Injuries, genetics, and the symptom imperative 37:33 - First steps for people feeling stuck in pain 40:21 - Learning, surrender, and recovery mindset 46:58 - JournalSpeak explained 59:05 - Healing results and long-term freedom from pain 01:07:59 - How to work with Nicole and free resources 01:09:55 - What the art of living well means to Nicole _______________________________________ Our Favorite Wellness Support:

Often, the reason we feel tired, stuck, or frustrated in our training, fitness, and health as active women and runners has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with under-fueling relative to our female body's energy and support needs.In this powerful conversation, host Louise Valentine, one of the world's leading exercise physiologists and women's integrative health practitioners specializing in active women and recreational runners, sits down with Dr. Megan Hellner to unpack how active women, especially runners over 35, unknowingly fall into Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) and disordered eating patterns. They explain why always eating “clean” or following strict food rules that eliminate nourishing foods can disrupt hormones, damage health, and limit performance.You will learn how fear of carbs, diet culture, misleading marketing, and social media trends quietly drain our energy and resilience. Dr. Hellner shares why RED-S can affect women of all body sizes, how to recognize early warning signs, and when mental health support matters. Together, they emphasize returning to simple, evidence-based fueling, honoring food preferences to keep a sense of joy and balance in life, and building flexibility around eating.This episode reminds you that food is not the enemy. When you fuel well and in alignment with your female body's needs, it recovers better, performs stronger, and supports long-term vibrant health. If you want to run, train, and live with confidence through perimenopause and beyond, this conversation offers clarity, relief, and practical direction.Find a Practical Early Risk RED-S Screening Checklist here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/blog/a-practical-red-s-early-risk-self-screen-checklist Learn more about Dr. Megan & colleagues virtual eating disorder clinic: www.AthleatMD.comDr. Megan Hellner's Email: Megan@AthleatMD.com Learn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/ Link to our FullScript where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20%: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products.

Unfortunately, many of the ways we've been taught to train, eat, and “push through” as females who love to feel, look, and run our best are working against our best health, hormones, and longevity in vibrant active living.In this episode, Louise speaks directly to driven, active women who want to feel strong, lean, energized, and confident through perimenopause and beyond. As a multi award-winning women's integrative health practitioner, top trainer, and exercise physiologist she explains why many traditional fitness, running, and nutrition approaches, including fasting, intentional or unintentional underfueling, traditional best practice dietetic recommendations, and high-volume training, can quietly damage our best health, hormones, body composition, bone health, and recovery.Drawing from her own eye-opening journey and 23 years of coaching female runners, ambitious athletes, and everyday wellness-minded fitness lovers, Louise shares why fueling to support your female physiology, managing stress, and training in hormone-aware ways are essential for long-term health and performance. She breaks down how cortisol, under-eating, fad diets, and outdated male-based training methods contribute to fatigue, injuries, belly fat, performance decline, and frustrating symptoms many women accept as “normal.”You will learn why perfection is not the goal, how to build sustainable habits, and how small daily choices can protect your best hormones, strength, performance, and longevity. This episode is a powerful reminder that you deserve to thrive, not just survive, in this phase of life.Learn & level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Link to our FullScript where you can see curated best supplement picks & save 20%: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products.

Andrea reframes the idea of a “broken metabolism” and walks through the deeper drivers that truly influence how the body functions. She shares why metabolism is about far more than calories and workouts, pulling back the curtain on the roles of nutrition, hormones, the nervous system, training, and even breathing and core stability. Andrea also digs in to how stress, underfueling, and overtraining can quietly work against progress, and how a more holistic, supportive approach can help the body become responsive again for the long game.Make Fit Simple is sponsored by Cozy EarthCozyEarth.com/makefitsimple use code SIMPLE40Make Fit Simple Podcast is sponsored by KION.
