Sleep is one of the key foundations of health in life. Without quality sleep most of the time, you will always struggle to build health, especially in perimenopause. The challenge here is that we cannot control sleep, only ALLOW for it since the root cause of sleep challenges will always be tied back to the state or your central nervous system.

“You are the picture of health.” These were the words my doctor spoke to me after reviewing my blood work 5 years ago. I should have been relieved. But I was exhausted., I was anxious, my periods were out of control and I couldn’t think straight. Inspire of 6 workouts a week and calorie restriction, I was gaining weight and fighting sugar cravings every afternoon.
Sadly this has become a very common story that I hear from my clients. Some of them have spent years being told that they are fine, when they most definitely do NOT feel fine. Why are blood tests telling us we are healthy when we don’t feel that way?
I have the answer for you. In this exclusive expert interview with personal trainer and Functional Practitioner Jenn Malecha, we dive deep into why this is happening and what you can do about it ASAP.
