Why are the things I’ve done before just not working for my health and fitness?” If you’ve asked yourself these questions, then you’re absolutely not alone! Me too! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Bria and I talk about the truth about midlife &amp;amp; perimenopause and why we do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; need to wave the white aging flag.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bria Gadd is a personal trainer, holistic health coach and integrative nutritionist who specializes in female hormones. She is the founder of The Period Whisperer Podcast and the P4 formula, helping women with weight release and energy gain in pre and post menopause, and finding clarity in hormonal chaos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode we talk about:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What exactly is perimenopause and how to know if you’re in it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The first step for finding clarity in hormonal chaos&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How midlife makes us ready for change to create what we crave!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plus, we’d love to hear from you!
