Jen St. Clair invites you to Hey, Ladies!
Welcome to Hey, Ladies! a bi-monthly correspondence from the frontlines of perimenopause and menopause.
What started as a personal journey has become a passion to empower women to get smart about their health. If you're on this great new adventure, welcome! If you're not quite there, buckle up; it's wild.
A few years ago, I realized I wasn't my best self; I had brain fog, depression, insomnia, hot f**ing flashes, and a magic 20-pound weight gain that made me suspect I was in perimenopause. When my doctor handed me a hormone prescription and said to exercise and eat better, that pretty much summed up what I knew about the massive transformation my body was going through. I was stunned and felt really alone. But I wasn't; every woman I talked with felt the same.
That's when I decided to take matters into my own hands. I enrolled in integrative medicine and nutrition classes to understand my health and how food can serve as medicine. I want women to have the tools and information to kick a** during this phase of life.
Starting on this path has reenergized me - my love for my public relations career, returning to school, and building a community around Hey, Ladies!
In the coming weeks, we'll explore the greatest hits from menopause - "You're so hormonal," "Ma'am and other curse words," "Sexy-ish time," “The (brain) fog of war,” "Why drinking is my frenemy," "Bodybuilding is for babes," and so much more. I'll also share insights and resources so you can get smart and take control.
What can you do?
- Take an honest look at your lifestyle, including your diet, stress levels, sleep habits, and exercise routine. Do you feel your best? Let's get strong and healthy.
- Educate yourself. Do you know which stage you're in? It's essential to know your options and make informed decisions about your health.
- Sign up for Hey, Ladies! and share it with your friends.
- Reach out to me at Jennifer@heyladies.co with topics you'd like to explore.
I can't wait to embark on this journey with you. I’ll see you in two weeks.
With love,
Jennifer
