Building Stronger Habits for the Decades Ahead

Building Stronger Habits for the Decades Ahead

Building Stronger Habits for the Decades Ahead

We don’t get to choose everything about aging, but we do get to choose how we support our bodies, our minds, and our daily lives along the way, this is epigenetics. 
For me, hitting this new perimenopause era has been a wake-up call. Not in a doom-and-gloom way, but in a “pay attention” kind of way. 
The habits I hold onto now will carry me into the decades ahead—either making them easier, lighter, and more enjoyable… or leaving me struggling to catch up.
That’s why I’m choosing stronger habits.

Habits Become Your Future

It’s easy to think that one skipped glass of water, one sedentary day, or one fast-food meal doesn’t matter.  And in isolation, maybe it doesn’t. But string them together, and suddenly you see how your daily patterns shape your future.

  • Hydration: Staying consistent with water intake supports digestion, hormone balance, energy, and clearer thinking. Even mild dehydration can impact focus and mood, while consistent hydration helps regulate hormones and keeps energy steady.
  • Movement: Regular daily movement keeps joints flexible, muscles strong, and your metabolism humming as you age. Research shows that consistent activity can reduce physical limitations by 36%, helping you stay mobile and independent in later years.
  • Whole Food Choices: Choosing nutrient-dense foods gives your body the fuel it needs to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and power through your day.  Studies show that whole food–based resets can significantly improve energy levels by 35% and support a healthy inflammation response.
When I picture myself 10, 20, 30 years from now, I don’t see perfection. I see vibrancy.  I see myself still moving with ease, laughing with friends, traveling, and living with purpose.  And that vision depends on the habits I’m building today.

It’s Not About Perfection

Stronger habits don’t mean rigid rules or living in deprivation. For me, it’s about:
  • Prioritizing hydration to keep my body energized, clear, and supported.
  • Making movement a daily non-negotiable, whether it’s a walk, stretching, or strength training.
  • Choosing whole food options that fuel my hormones and keep my digestion happy.
And yes, it still leaves plenty of room for joy, fun, and chocolate (because balance matters, too!).

Why Now Matters

Perimenopause has been my teacher. The bloating, energy dips, and mood shifts are real, but they’ve also shown me how powerful simple changes can be.  Stronger habits aren’t just about preventing problems—they’re about creating possibility.
I want the decades ahead to be filled with vitality, not limitations.  And that starts now.

About Me

 
I used to struggle with severe hip pain. It was the kind of discomfort that made everyday tasks a challenge. Having tried everything as a massage therapist and yoga instructor... I felt lost, unsure of how to find relief. Then, I discovered how perimenopause affects the muscles and joints of women. This realization changed everything in my approach. I learned that these hormonal changes were a big part of the pain I was experiencing.

With this new understanding, I started to make small changes to support my body. Gradually, I noticed improvements. This journey led me to a new passion. Now, I help people who are amidst hormonal changes. I want to share what I've learned to make your journey through similar challenges a little easier!

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
