Summary of Transcript:
This video discusses the importance of being prepared for perimenopause, which is the time leading up to menopause. Perimenopause can start as early as in women’s 30s but typically starts at 40-44 and lasts between 4-8 years. Managing stress is important during this time, as chronic stress can lead to weight loss resistance, and strategies such as eating a balanced plate, drinking green tea, doing high-intensity interval training, practicing yoga, walking after meals, and meditation can help combat stress. Sleep is also crucial during perimenopause, and low progesterone levels may be causing symptoms and difficulty sleeping, which can be helped with bioidentical progesterone and melatonin supplements. The video also emphasizes adding muscle to improve metabolism and overall health during perimenopause.

Perimenopause: A Time for Preparation
As women approach middle age, their body undergoes a significant transformation known as perimenopause, the start of the gradual transition to menopause. This period signals greater levels of hormonal fluctuations and other changes, which can be challenging for women. However, perimenopause also provides an opportunity for women to prepare for the upcoming changes that full-blown menopause brings.
In this video, JJ provides seven effective strategies to get a jumpstart on the significant changes in menopause, supporting you to transition better and looking and feeling better than ever.
Stress Management – Critical for Hormone Balance
Stress management is crucial for hormone balance in perimenopause. It is essential to recognize the sources of stress in your life and develop stress management techniques such as regulating breathing, going for walks, or doing yoga. JJ shares some useful techniques to manage stress in a podcast episode linked in the video description.
Optimize Sleep for Hormone Regulation
It’s common for women entering perimenopause to experience a range of sleep issues, including night sweats, insomnia, and restless sleep. JJ advises focusing on establishing a consistent sleep routine, investing in a comfortable mattress, and relaxation techniques to optimize sleep. She also provides a link to her Sleep Candy supplement for gut health, which is specifically designed to boost restful sleep.
The Overlooked Secret for Weight Loss
JJ shares an often-overlooked secret for weight loss, building muscle. Building muscle is particularly important in perimenopause, where muscle mass can deteriorate with hormonal fluctuations. JJ recommends an 8-minute HIIT workout to support muscle building, and she also shares additional resources on muscle building and weight loss in the video description.
Healthy Thyroid = Healthy Hormones
The thyroid gland is an essential hormone-regulating gland of the endocrine system. JJ emphasizes healthy thyroid function as a key factor in overall hormonal balance. She provides thyroid health tests to investigate thyroid function and other lab tests to request at home to track hormone levels.
The Right Foods for Healthy Estrogen Metabolism
Foods can help you support healthy estrogen metabolism and avoid weight gain during perimenopause. Extra fiber supplements and dark chocolate are excellent sources of estrogen-metabolizing compounds. JJ also shares a list of other foods packed with nutrients to support hormone balance.
Further Resources
JJ provides further resources on mastering perimenopause and a playlist of videos on nutrition and weight loss. She also links to her supplement store to buy specific nutrition support supplements and probiotics.
Conclusion
Perimenopause heralds a time of change in hormonal balance and other areas of a woman’s body. However, with the right preparation, women can transition through to menopause looking and feeling better than ever. JJ provides practical advice on stress management, sleep optimization, weight loss, thyroid function, and the right foods to help you through this time of life in the linked video resources.
