We had a tough time narrowing this interview down into any one specific topic, but here are a few of the highlights you get to look forward to:

What Laura and (I agree with her) hates about the fitness industry, and how it's served us wrong
Why you should stop seeking 'balance' and what to do instead
What needs to happen to create, and then stick to habits, and how to do it
Why it's so important to shift how you see yourself, and how to create that shift
And so much more :)

134: Keeping Fit Through Menopause with Jenny May Clermont 0

Jun 17, 2019

The body changes as we age, especially through peri-menopause and menopause. Bring on the sleepless nights, midsection weight gain and stronger urge to wind down with a glass of pinot.

True, our bodies change. Also true: there are a few SIMPLE things you can do to help your body as she transitions through menopause.

In this interview with Jenny May Clermont, you'll learn:

Why we gain weight around the midsection, and what to do about it
The right kind of exercise to support your body into your 40s and beyond (and you don't need to log long hours on the treadmill)
Simple in the moment strategies to reduce stress and balance your hormones

Jenny May Clermont walked away from a successful 15 year career as a chemist (most of which revolved around hormone therapy products) to educate people on how to LIVE better through nutrition and movement.

Jenny May believes that whether you are over 40 and want to lose belly fat or an equestrian trying to enhance your riding performance or an athlete (or weekend warrior) looking to run faster, jump higher, and play harder you should receive the same quality of training and care as a professional / Olympic level athlete, which is why Jenny May seeks to be the best by learning from the best coaches in the health & wellness industry.
