Lifting and protein intake has been a gamer changer for me in life and running at age 58.

Good stuff here!

Oh yes, I used to gazelle around the Unesco Geopark of Mullerthal (ie my backyard). I still roam, I walk, I stumble, I sit, I hug trees, I lift branches. But gazelle no more. I need to find another animal that fits.

I have changed my diet and supplements, I am doing strength training, I am somatic shaking, I am resting so so much.

I think I am a cat 🐈‍⬛

I am currently listening to Next Level on Audible, following a recent recommendation, with the aim of transitioning off hormone replacement therapy within the next six months to a year. Because of an endometrial ablation, I entered early menopause at the age of 44. However, I have been lifting heavy weights since my late 30s, which has helped alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause. However, I opted for HRT because I was struggling with anxiety and palpitations. I plan to do more research on the adaptogens as I transition. I also agree on the slowing down, and less is more for my training now and more is essential food and calorie wise to sustain it.

Hope you find a way forward Pauline. Sounds like you are gathering up as much information as possible, learning is key huh. :-)
