Here’s the link for my 30 minute hips and pelvis routine https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/hips-and-pelvis-routine-live-lesson-1810/?current-category=49

Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve found has help me:

1. Spending time in the sun and nature.

2. Avoid prepackaged foods, if I do eat them, I check the ingredients and always choose whole grains.

3. Eat very little sugar.

4. I eat more protein than before, including tofu and non dairy yogurt for gut health.

5. Eat to prevent inflammation, I love real ginger tea and sauerkraut.

6. I use cannabis in the evening for sleep, inflammation and muscle recovery.

7. Journal to find patterns in my cycle and life.

8. I find ways to regulate my nervous system. Mediation, music, playing guitar, hugging my dog etc.

9. I no longer “identify” as a woman in perimenopause, but I still honor my bodies changing needs.

10. TARGET TRAINING MY JOINTS! Before this I was having a hard time sleeping because my joints would feel like they’re about to fall off my bones! It was so uncomfortable.

I’m fully aware that I’m just beginning the process of moving into my next phase of life so by no means I’m I stating to be an expert. This is not medical advice. I’m also not trying to downplay anyones struggles or experience with perimenopause and menopause. I know when hormones are not balanced they do very crazy things as I experienced this with my birth control struggles, you feel totally out of control. I did feel like I was living in a different body until more recently when I changed my diet and perspective.
