🌸 SEPTEMBER IS PERIMENOPAUSE AWARENESS MONTH 🌸

How much do you REALLY know about perimenopause?

For many women, perimenopause can feel like your body has suddenly decided to rewrite the rulebook without giving you the updated copy 😅

Here are some key facts 👇

💗 Perimenopause commonly begins in your 40s, but some women start noticing changes in their mid-to-late 30s.

💜 Oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can fluctuate, which can affect your periods, sleep, mood, energy and so much more.

🔥 Perimenopause can show up in MANY ways, including:
• Hot flushes & night sweats
• Poor sleep
• Mood changes & anxiety
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Changes to your periods
• Joint & muscle aches
• Changes in body composition
• Reduced libido

No, you're not imagining it! ❤️

📚 Many women don't feel prepared for perimenopause or realise that the symptoms they're experiencing could be hormone-related.

💪 WHAT CAN YOU DO?

✨ Track your symptoms
Keep a note of changes to your cycle, sleep, mood, energy and symptoms. It can be really useful when speaking to your GP or healthcare professional.

✨ Keep moving
Strength training, walking and regular movement can play an important role in supporting your health during this stage of life.

✨ Prioritise the basics
Good nutrition, adequate protein and fibre, hydration, sleep and stress management all matter.

✨ Don't suffer in silence
Talk about what you're experiencing. Ask questions. Seek support. You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

🌸 Perimenopause is a transition, not a breakdown.
Understanding what's happening to your body is the first step towards feeling more in control.

Let's break the silence and start the conversation. 💗💜

If you're navigating perimenopause and don't know where to start, SLOFitness is here to help.

✨ 8‑Week Perimenopause Programme progress update! ✨

This incredible client came to me at the start of July wanting to build strength, improve her well‑being and make positive lifestyle changes as she navigates perimenopause 💜

She has given 100% every single week - no excuses, no shortcuts just pure consistency. Around week 4 her weight started fluctuating, then completely plateaued and yes, it was disheartening for her 😔

She kept going. She trusted the process. She showed up. She persevered 💪

Fast forward to her 8‑week check‑in this week!

💥 She’s down a few lbs and absolutely over the moon!
But the REAL magic happened when we compared her photos and measurements!

📏 8 weeks difference
⚖️ Only 3lbs down
🔥 BUT a HUGE 19cm lost overall!

Including:

5cm from her waist

5cm from her hips

That is phenomenal progress and the perfect reminder that scales are NOT the be all and end all of a healthy lifestyle ❎

Her body is changing. Her confidence is growing. Her strength is building RAPIDLY. Her lifestyle is shifting.
To top it off, she’s doing it all while navigating perimenopause like an absolute powerhouse 💪💜

My clients choice of words for her 8 week check in are - Motivated! Energised! Happier! Grateful! 🩷🤗
So proud of you! Keep shining ✨

✨ ANTI-AGING HABITS 👇

Getting older is inevitable. Feeling older than you need to? Not necessarily 💗

The goal isn’t to chase youth. It’s to build a body and lifestyle that keeps you strong, energetic, healthy and confident at every age.

🌸 9 habits worth prioritising 🌸

🥗 Eat nourishing, protein-rich foods
💧 Stay hydrated
🏋️‍♀️ Move your body and build strength
😴 Prioritise quality sleep
☀️ Protect your skin from the sun
✨ Look after your skin from within and out
🧘‍♀️ Manage stress

🚭 Ditch smoking and keep alcohol in check

If you're a woman in your 40s, 50s or beyond, strength training deserves a BIG tick. Strong muscles and bones are an investment in your future self. 💪💕

Forget trying to turn back the clock.

Let’s make getting older your strongest chapter yet. 🔥
