Happy Satiated Saturday! 

As I move closer to my 40's, I've noticed many changes in my body. A few more gray hairs. Some distinguishing wisdom wrinkles. 

I'm excited to see that the changes a woman's body goes through in her life is becoming more openly discussed and normalized. Your body is going to change as you transition from your menstrual years, to peri-menopause, and into menopause. 

I like to think of it like a play (for those of you that don't know, I was a former actress and have been in more plays than I can count). 

Act 1: pre-menstrual years. Act 2: menstrual years. Act 3: post menstrual years. 

In each act, your body is going to need different kinds of support. It will ask for different forms of physical movement and have changing nutritional needs. 

I know you've heard me often say that we cannot change what we're not aware of. So, the more awareness you have, the more you can prepare yourself for each act of your life. 

In this week’s episode, I chat with Kitty Blomfield, cofounder of NuStrength and Saturee, about the importance of weight lifting as you transition into perimenopause, how to step off the restrict-binge cycle, eating more (not less!) including carbs and sugar, and committing to the journey with your ever changing body.

As a heads up, a few F-bombs are dropped in this episode so if you have little one's around, be sure to put on headphones. Additionally, we do discuss a bit on tracking your intake. We make it clear in this episode that if you're someone who has a history if disordered eating or an eating disorder that tool will not be one that you will want to utilize.
