Menopause isn’t “for later”—it starts earlier than most expect. In this conversation, Monica Björn breaks down perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, what symptoms actually look like, how HRT works (estrogen/progesterone/testosterone, timing, delivery), and the lifestyle “big 3”: strength training, sleep, stress management.
You’ll learn
Perimenopause vs. menopause (what changes & when)
Common symptoms most women aren’t told about
HRT basics: body-identical vs synthetic, safety, “critical window”
Training through symptoms: how to adjust intensity, volume, and recovery
Protein targets & nutrition basics for 40+
Why “knowledge is power” for women, partners, and coaches
Takeaways:
- Menopause is a transition that affects many women but often goes unacknowledged
- 80-95% of women experience physical and mental symptoms during Menopause
- HRT can prevent hardening of the arteries if started within ten years of Menopause
- HRT may also protect against Alzheimer's and Dementia if started when symptoms appear
- Different types of HRT include synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones, and body-identical hormones
- Progesterone is essential in protecting the uterus lining and preventing cancer
- Women in their 30s should prioritize their life, build muscle mass, and find stress-relief techniques
- Women in their 40s should continue strength training but adjust intensity, duration, and frequency if necessary
- Keeping a diary to log symptoms and interventions can be helpful
- Women may experience frustration and identity crises during perimenopause but can regain their full strength, speed, and ability.
