@stephaniecrassweller: ❌Perimenopause and postmenopause are NOT the same thing. In perimenopause, hormones are fluctuating wildly🎢 One month estrogen is high. The next it crashes. Progesterone starts declining. Cortisol becomes more disruptive. Blood sugar gets more unstable. This is why so many women suddenly feel👇🏽 * puffy * anxious * exhausted * inflamed * starving at night * like their body changed overnight Your body is unpredictable because your hormones are unpredictable. Postmenopause is different. Now hormones are consistently LOW 🔻 Muscle loss accelerates. Insulin resistance becomes more common. Metabolism slows. Recovery changes. Bone and cardiovascular health become a bigger priority. This is why the strategy that worked in perimenopause may stop working in postmenopause. 👉🏽Different stage. 👉🏽Different physiology. 👉🏽Different roadmap. And this is exactly why generic “eat less and move more” plans fail so many women. At VitalityOET, we don’t guess. We look at: YOUR stage YOUR symptoms YOUR metabolism YOUR stress patterns YOUR blood sugar YOUR recovery YOUR hormone patterns To build a strategy that actually matches the season your body is in.
