Menopause

2018 I stood right in this corner next to my little fridge and wondered WHY am I struggling to lose this weight I gained that I “thought” was from a traumatic event in my life!

I had participated in several Tough Mudders, ran a few 5k races and STILL it wasn’t coming off!

All the way through 2019 when I started having real symptoms that I couldn’t explain.  Doctor performed many tests to see what was going on.  

She thought it sounded like autoimmune issues, diabetes, low this low that.  

Every single test came back  negative.  I was HEALTHY!

EXTREME thirst, dehydration, frustration, irritation, weight gain not getting worse but not getting better in spite of my exercise.

I must not be trying HARD enough!

Not any of that!  

I had only had 1-2 periods in that span of time but we (my doctor was younger than me) had no clue that MENOPAUSE was entering my home!

In 2020, when things weren’t better and I had researched the HELL OUT OF EVERYTHING I asked her about this menopause thing.  

I had no clue!  Never studied it, never watched my mom go through it!  I’d heard women COMPLAIN and that was it!

Doctor ordered some blood tests and sure enough I was considered POSTMENOPAUSAL!

Ok, so I IMMEDIATELY take a course from Dr. Stacy Sims on menopause and athletes.

Learned a TON!

Although I was doing what was mostly right, I wasn’t doing them “enough” and “in the right order”.

2021 I had an accident that began the hardest healing journey for me yet!

Not knowing that from 2018-2020 I was so low on estrogen and had stopped major strength training during covid, I actually helped my body get MORE FRAIL!

I had never once in my life imagined myself weak.  But here I was losing muscle mass like crazy in my legs.

Now I’m injured and losing it faster!

The loss of ESTROGEN threw me for a loop and I had NO clue!

I know better now, have my own program helping other women make better choices and I’m healing myself WITHOUT surgeries!
