Pregnancy to Perimenopause: How Use Your Cycle to Optimize Your Health
Description
In this episode of the Women’s Fitness and Health Revolution Podcast, we talk menstrual cycle—what’s really happening in our bodies, why it matters, and how understanding it sets us up for success in perimenopause and beyond.
We talk:
Why the foundations of health—strength training, protein, fiber, sleep, daily movement, and stress management—are essential at every age.
How cycle tracking can become one of the most powerful tools for self-advocacy and long-term health.
What irregular cycles can reveal about fertility, stress, lifestyle, perimenopause symtpoms, or underlying health issues.
The connection between our reproductive years, perimenopause, and postmenopause—and why preparing earlier helps ease the transition.
Kinsey also shares personal stories, insights from leading women’s health experts, and practical ways to start tracking your cycle today—even if it’s just one word a day.
Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or already navigating perimenopause, this episode gives you the knowledge and action steps to better understand your body, advocate for your health, and build a stronger foundation for the years ahead.
