Resources I Love
A living collection of what’s helped me reconnect, rebuild trust with my body, and feel more like myself again.
This page isn’t about doing everything. It’s about noticing what resonates, and letting that be enough for now.
Note: This page reflects my personal experience and what has supported me.
It’s not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional when making changes to your health routine.
Listening to the Body
For a long time, I pushed through signals instead of listening to them. Midlife has been an invitation to do the opposite.
Check-in questions
What feels supportive right now?
Where do I feel tension, heaviness, or resistance?
What am I overriding out of habit?
When did I last feel steady — what was present then?
What would “enough” look like today?
These aren’t questions to solve.
They’re questions to notice.
Movement That Supports
Movement has shifted from punishment to partnership.
What I focus on now:
Strength over shrinking
Consistency over intensity
Mobility and recovery matter
Short workouts still count
I ask myself:
How do I want to feel after this, not just during it?
This is where regular strength training, mobility work, and realistic workouts have made the biggest difference for me.
Nourishment in Midlife
I stopped trying to eat “perfectly” and started asking what my body needed more of.
A few things I've learned:
Protein matters more than we were taught
Minerals are often overlooked
Blood sugar balance affects mood and energy
Appetite changes are information, not failure
What’s helped me most is adding in, not restricting — especially when life is busy.
Working With Practitioners: Questions to Ask
Learning to listen to my body also meant learning to ask better questions.
Energy, Fatigue & Mood
Could low iron, B12, or vitamin D be contributing to how I feel?
Are my thyroid levels optimal, not just “within range”?
How might hormonal changes be affecting my energy or mood?
Hormones & Midlife Changes
Where am I likely at in perimenopause or menopause?
What symptoms are common at this stage?
What support options exist (lifestyle, nutrition, medical)?
Muscle, Strength & Metabolism
How much protein should I aim for?
How can I best support muscle and bone health?
What kind of movement is most supportive right now?
Sleep & Stress
How does stress impact my hormones?
Are there ways to improve sleep quality?
Could magnesium or other nutrients help with recovery?
You’re allowed to ask for clarity.
You’re allowed to be an active participant in your health.
