Our symptoms matter, and so does our long-term health. In fact, heart disease, mental health, metabolic health, and bone health are all associated with symptoms during the menopausal transition ⁽¹⁾. We all know that what we do to take care of ourselves matters, but around midlife, it can feel like all the rules changed.

It's not your imagination, it's your biochemistry. As our hormones change, so do our bodies' responses to stress, nutrition, exercise — pretty much everything. The workout and meal plans and hectic schedules that worked for us in our younger years hit different in midlife, right when we need them most.

It's time for a new plan.
