If we don’t know why something happens in a female body it may be because we haven’t asked the question. My intention for today is to empower you with what we do understand AND to give you permission to trust your body’s intuition and wisdom.  Menopause is a natural transition; it is not a death sentence.

For the scope of today's discussion we will stay within the boundaries of the body.

If you’ve ever felt the frustration of mystery “overnight” weight gain or doing everything right and not getting the results you’re after. Or struggled to find a good night sleep in spite of exhaustion. This is the episode for you. Our work IN today is a look at the link between sleep and cravings and how we can leverage the gut brain communication pathways to reset our metabolism AND get more restful restorative sleep.

For me anything that you do that takes your body beyond what it can already comfortably do can be resistance training. But that’s the hard part. To do that we have to push ourselves. We have to be willing to try things that we aren’t sure that we can do. So not only is there physical resistance, we also have to overcome the mental resistance to being uncomfortable.

Once we can do that we can do anything.

But why? Why should we care about this kind of exercise?
