Happy Friday! Today I thought I’d share foods that have helped me so far.
- Sauerkraut and Kimchi
- Tofu
- Bone Broth protein powder (pure) by Ancient Nutrition
- Lentils
Do you any foods that have been a game changer for you?

I’m hoping that post menopausal polers will join too as you all have experiences that we haven’t had. Most women say that once your post menopausal things are “normal” and you feel amazing, but I don’t think that’s the case for everyone. So I’m grateful you mentioned your struggle so others know they’re not alone.
I’m not sure if I’ll have a chance to do more podcasts about this topic but I do plan on sharing some things that have helped me and I hope other share too. This Friday I’m sharing foods that have helped balance my hormones (so far) as I know things can change.
As far as training post menopause, in general the fitness industry has treated us as small men, we are not! The things you did in you’re 30s will not always work in your 50s and while there is some information out there on training as a female but most of it is for athletes who are under 30. We need more representation because the internet and marketing seems to think after 50 your should only do chair workouts! hahaha I keep getting stupid ads for chair workout apps that are more suitable for my mom who is 87 and has dementia.

Hey, hey! Welcome. It’s crazy how different it is for everyone. I know a few people who never even knew they were in peri and one day their period just stopped. I was totally in peri sooner than I realized. I don’t have any family that is able to tell me what they went through due to surgeries my older sister had, my other sister passed years ago, and my mom is 87 and dealing with dementia so she doesn’t recall much. She did tell me she remembers spending a lot of time crying in the trees lol

Me too! It can be such a lonely time I think.

Hello, most members don’t use the discussions, all the action is in the tutorials. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I replied to your comment on day 10.

Ok. It’s looking good. Seeing and hearing the video, I bet you’re having a hard time because the SM is too “heavy”, and happening too fast. To make it lighter and slower try this:
The flip needs to be more vertical, right now it’s too sideways, making it harder to control.
You need to be able to almost stall at the top, so you can control the descent. This will allow you to choose how and where you will land. Working on getting the flip more vertical will help a lot with this.
Think UP instead of OVER. Using the Veena grip like you are, should allow you to go slower than other grips.
You can try different head positions too. Try looking up for as long as you can, to help you maintain a more vertical trajectory. Looking towards the shoulder can help complete the flip, but only if you’re able to get vertical.
You’ve got this!

Great! You’re very welcome.
