Improving your physical fitness and health WHILE also living and enjoying your life IS possible. In fact, I’m sharing...

[40:02] Slowing down is NOT a sign of weakness for women, it’s a sign of STRENGTH
[44:25] How Dr. Pelz used fasting and listening to the signs of her cycle to support her body and NOT go into menopause before the optimal age range which is age 52-55
[47:49] When estrogen goes down, collagen goes down - which impacts your skin & makes you more prone to injury
[50:15] What we can do for women who are still struggling with menopausal symptoms even 10 years after going into menopause (& it’s worked for every single one of Dr. Pelz’s clients)
