Perimenopause Coaching
Type A woman over 35?
You're in the right place.
Perimenopause, but my labs are normal?
Hello,Midlife
I am a Type A woman.
I have two children, I'm married, and I work full-time in healthcare.
When I turned 39, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. I gained almost 20 pounds over 2 years. I was shocked, I had a decent diet, and I exercised...a lot. I'm talking 45 minutes of hard cardio daily plus CrossFit workouts. I thought my diet was pretty good. It didn't make sense.
My sleep was terrible, but it had been terrible since my first child was born. And now, to add insult to injury, I was sweating at night, sweating so much that I was soaking my bed sheets.
On top of all of that, my energy was trash. I could barely keep my eyes open after lunch.
I also noticed my hair was falling out, my skin looked bad, and everything was annoying. Annoying and too loud. I was snapping at my kids, and my husband was on my last nerve.
I went to my PCP and my GYN - they told me my labs were normal. The end. No further conversation.
But I did not feel normal. I felt awful.
Something was wrong.
If you're a Type A Woman, this is for you
Are you:
- Driven
- A high achiever
- The organizer
- The planner
- The glue holding everything together
For years, you pushed through. You survived on adrenaline and caffeine. You made it work.
But now? Now you're exhausted.
Overwhelmed. Overstimulated. Over everything.
Here's what's actually happening:
You're in perimenopause — and your body needs something different.
The strategies that used to work? They don't anymore.
Dropping weight with the latest diet trend? Nope.
Amping up cardio? Makes it worse.
Surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep? Your brain can't recover.
Eating clean during the week, letting loose on weekends? Your hormones can't handle it.
Sorry, sister. Those days are gone.
Don't worry! It's not your fault!
I blame men, ha, just kidding...
We need to adjust our lives at this point. That's the truth. We are not the same.
And if nothing changes, nothing changes.
We need to understand what is happening and take charge, no more sitting back when the doctor says, this is just normal. No.
Perimenopause + Type A personality
We need to understand our physiology - that of a perimenopausal woman with a highly ambitious personality.
And when you understand what's happening (estrogen drops, dopamine tanks, cortisol spikes), you can work with your physiology instead of fighting it.
That's exactly what we do in the Noncompliant Midlife.
No more "your labs are normal, see you next year."
No more dismissing what you feel in your body.
No more shrinking your expectations.
You get:
- Answers that actually make sense
- Hormonal support that works (BHRT, GLP-1s for AZ residents)
- A roadmap to feel strong, clear, and capable again
