I have a confession.
For years, I rolled my eyes at “workouts for women in their 40s” content. I thought it was an excuse to go easier.
And then perimenopause humbled me.
The brain fog. The belly fat that appeared out of nowhere. The pants that fit differently for no obvious reason. And the most frustrating part? I was still training hard. And it wasn’t working.
Sound familiar?
Everything Changed When I Found This Research
I discovered the work of Dr. Stacy Sims — an exercise physiologist who has spent her career studying women’s physiology. Her message stopped me cold:
Women are not small men. And perimenopausal women are not the same as younger women.
The fitness programming most of us follow was built on research done on men and younger women. What worked in our 20s and 30s can actively work against us in our 40s.
So I rebuilt my entire approach from scratch — based on four science-backed pillars. And I’m not just going to feel my way through it. I got a DEXA scan, RMR test, and VO₂ Max test done before starting — and I’m retesting in 90 days to measure exactly what changed.
Real data. No guessing.
Want to know the four pillars, see my baseline numbers, and follow the full 90-day experiment?
