Celebrating 100 Episodes: Consistency, Commitment & Courage
I cannot believe, it’s our 100th episode and that I have that much to say. But here we are.
100 episodes is no easy feat. And I’m celebrating because doing something like this requires consistency, commitment, and trying something new even though fear was there.
And that’s the overarching theme in this episode today. Because now more than ever, I believe the things that truly move the needle when it comes to our health, especially after 40 require consistency, commitment and doing things that may feel uncomfortable – but are needed to create the very change that you say you want.
When I launched this podcast, it didn’t come from a place of confidence. It came from a place of feeling called to say things that weren’t really being said.
And that also meant being willing to figure it out along the way. There were plenty of moments where I questioned whether it was worth my time, whether anyone was listening, whether I should have more “trending” or “algorithm-friendly” topics.
But what I’ve learned – both in business and in health – is that chasing trends often pulls you away from what feels meaningful.
This podcast has been a creative outlet for me; it’s helped me to get more confident in what I believe in and has forced me to get really honest with how I want to move forward in this health & wellness space.
So today I want to share some truths about health after 40 that I wish more women heard sooner. This isn’t about supplements or the perfect protocol – my hope is that it gives you perspective and helps you zoom out on your life and start to see where you’re getting distracted, what really matters, and what it truly means to be successful – in health, business, relationships & life.
My Backstory: From Publishing to Health Coaching
Quick backstory: I became a health coach over 13 years ago, after working in publishing for about a decade. I had been struggling with my health for years and in my 20s, when shit really hit the fan, I started to dig deeper, learn all I could about women’s health & hormones, advocated for myself, started to heal, and decided to change careers because I felt so passionately about this work.
When I started over 13 years ago, I learned about the different factors that contribute to health beyond diet & exercise. Things like the work you do, your relationships, movement, rest, joy, connection, spirituality and so on.
But over the years, as I dug deeper into functional health, I began to focus more on testing, protocols and supplements. I believed very strongly in these tools.
And don’t get me wrong: those things matter, we still use them in practice, I believe they have a place.
But what I’ve learned – through my own life, health, and working with hundreds of women – is those things are not the center of the work.
Yet the online space, especially, will have you believing that the next test, supplement, or intense protocol is what will ‘heal” you or get you the results you want.
But what women want (and what I want myself), more than anything, is to be heard, to feel validated, and supported. To feel happy most days, good in their bodies and fulfilled in their work and relationships.
In the last 5 or so years especially, I see women more overwhelmed than ever, taking endless supplements they don’t really need, spending thousands on fancy testing that isn’t clinically relevant – and still feeling lousy.
And again, while certain testing (i’ve mentioned blood work and mineral testing many times here), supplements, and hormone therapy – have a time and place, those things alone aren’t going to magically change your health or life – without doing the deeper work.
Before I get into the truths I’ve come to realize…
What I see in midlife is this…women aren’t just dealing with hormonal shifts.
They’re dealing with the weight of decades. Decades of saying yes when they wanted to say no,
decades of being the “reliable” one or in my case “the strong one”. Decades of putting themselves last, shaping themselves around relationships, careers, family expectations, and roles they never stopped to question.
Midlife symptoms show up and they are LOUD. Whether it’s anxiety, relentless fatigue, sleepless nights, weight changes, low desire, body pain, or digestive issues — it’s very tempting to think the answer is one more test, one more supplement, or one more thing to optimize.
But what I’ve learned is that symptoms are often less about what’s “wrong” with your body…
and more about what you have been ignoring for years, a depleted body, over extending yourself, thinking you’re never good enough, and never experiencing true self-care.
Now I’m not saying that if you finally start setting boundaries, get a new job, or leave your husband – that all your ailments will go away. No, I’m a realist and firmly believe we need physiological support as well. Hello, I’m on all the HRT and you’d have to pry it out of my hands – that’s how much it’s helped me.
But…we can’t keep telling ourselves that true health & happiness is found in a bottle, some fancy test, an estradiol patch or cold plunges.
So here’s what I know now
As a 43-year old woman who still has a lot to learn, but also after 13 years of doing this work and decades of personal experience…
- Midlife health doesn’t require more discipline or pushing harder; it requires intention, discernment and long-term thinking about how you want to age and feel.
- Your relationships affect your health more than you think; chronic resentment, people-pleasing, staying in draining dynamics – that emotional stress doesn’t stay emotional; it often manifests as physical symptoms. A good book to read about that is called “The Body Keeps the Score” – I’ll link to it in the show notes.
- Pleasure, intimacy, and desire are not over after 40. For many women, those things get better — when the body is supported, you learn to slow down and receive, and your needs are no longer ignored. This chapter can be deeply satisfying.
- You can’t out-supplement chronic depletion. No “supplement stack” fixes under-eating, chronic stress, overfunctioning, or burnout. Supplements are meant to support a foundation — not replace it.
- Labs, tests, scales, and trackers are tools; they offer context, not certainty; they guide decisions, but they don’t heal you. For many women, more data creates more anxiety and less trust in their body. How you feel, how your body responds over time, and how your symptoms change matters just as much as what’s on paper.
- Your intuition is the best compass – when you sit quietly and listen to your body, you’ll know what you need – usually it’s more sleep, more water, more food, more movement, or more connection.
- Your health impacts everything – your relationships, your work, your overall happiness – you simply must advocate for yourself; and that means outgrowing providers, changing your approach, and adjusting expectations that no longer fit this season of your life.
- Hormone shifts don’t just change your periods, sleep and mood; they impact your nervous system, your tolerance for stress and emotional resilience. But with the right emotional and physiological support, simplifying your health “regimen” and focusing on what matters – you can feel calm and happy most days. I’m living proof of that.
- Feeling good again isn’t just possible; it may surprise you. Your body may not look like it did in your 20s or 30s. But you may feel stronger and more confident.
- Lastly, health foundations matter more in midlife than they ever did before. In a season of life when we’re pulled in different directions-caring for kids, aging parents, and ourselves, we really have to cut out the noise, the distractions and prioritize the things that truly move the needle: nourishing yourself with real food every day, hydrating with clean water, moving your body often, prioritizing rest and fun, doing work that feels good to you, and connecting with people you love. I cannot emphasize this enough – we spend our lives focusing on things that don’t really matter because some “expert” told you to.
What Hormones Can’t Teach You
You know, I’ve lived this too.
I’ve overworked, over-functioned, built businesses, chased goals, pushed through exhaustion, focused on revenue, and ignored my own needs because that’s what felt responsible and productive.
And I blamed my hormones for feeling anxious, disconnected, with full body pain and exhaustion — and yes, hormone therapy and supporting my thyroid helped me – I’m very open about that.
But HRT didn’t teach me…
how to slow down, rest without guilt, to say no, create healthy boundaries, communicate my needs, notice where I was feeling discontent, the quality of my relationship, the pace I was living, or how to stop constantly proving myself.
All of that came from paying attention to what my life was asking of me.
I’ve even shared in previous episodes how Mike and I went through a rough patch. But we didn’t heal our connection, our relationship, and intimacy with supplements or HRT alone.
Hormones supported us, absolutely – we’ve both seen incredible improvements – but respectful communication, better boundaries, honesty, and presence changed us.
When you ignore the resentments you have…
When you don’t communicate your needs…
When you stuff down emotions…
When you live in constant work-mode…
Your body will carry that. It shows up as inflammation, pain, gut issues, fatigue, insomnia, low libido, low mood, and anxiety.
The Evolution of The Perimenopause Method
And everything I’m sharing today is being reflected in my work with clients.
The Perimenopause Method has evolved a lot over the years. The version of the program I created years ago reflected who I was then: highly driven, very focused on fixing and optimizing. Lots of testing and supplement protocols.
The woman I am now and the women I work with now — need something different.
They need space to talk, perspective, guidance that cuts through all the noise. They need reassurance that what they’re feeling makes sense in the context of their life – not just what their labs say.
Yes, we utilize some testing, we recommend targeted supplements when it makes sense, and we educate on hormone support, when the time is right.
But they’re tools — not the work itself. The work is learning how to:
• Set boundaries without explaining yourself
• Say no without guilt
• Slow down without feeling lazy
• Make time for rest, pleasure, and creativity in your life
• Improve relationships through honesty
• Stop outsourcing your intuition to data and devices
That’s the part that actually changes how a woman feels in her body.
So before you ask…
- What supplement should I take?
- Should I buy this test?
- Which health tracker should I buy?
- Should I take collagen or creatine?
- Is this peptide better than that one?
They are not what truly moves the needle when it comes to your happiness, the quality of your relationships, your sense of fulfillment, and peace in your body.
Instead, consider that you may be fixating on these surface-level things because you’re resisting the deeper work…it’s much easier to change a supplement than to admit:
I’m not eating enough real, nourishing foods.
My relationship doesn’t feel good anymore.
My job drains the life out of me.
I’ve been over-giving for decades.
I don’t know who I am outside of taking care of everyone else.
I crave more joy, pleasure, freedom…and I don’t know how to create it.
The Real Work of Midlife
Midlife has a way of turning the volume up on all of this.
The body starts whispering and then it starts shouting. That’s when symptoms manifest physically.
And you can’t diet, biohack, supplement, or optimize your way out of those things. Trust me, I’ve tried.
We can talk all day about estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid — and that matters – it’s why I do the work that I do.
But your nervous system and your emotional safety matter just as much, if not more.
Perimenopause or menopause, depending on where you are in your journey – isn’t a problem to “fix”. It’s a transition that asks for self reflection, honesty and more self care than you’ve ever given yourself before.
When I say honesty, I mean getting honest about…
What you’re currently tolerating.
What you’re desiring.
Where you feel discontent.
The real work of midlife isn’t necessarily more data, more testing, more supplements.
It’s more self-trust, boundaries, rest, nourishing your body with good food, movement, with less people-pleasing or living in fear of what others think of you.
And the best part?
When a woman finally starts listening to herself…
the labs tend to improve, hormone therapy responds better, your body feels safer.
Not because you found the perfect product, tool or the provider — but because you stopped abandoning yourself.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be resurfacing some of the most important conversations I’ve had on this show — episodes that remain incredibly relevant for midlife hormones, energy, metabolism, and stress physiology.
There’s a lot of noise in the health space, and some of these earlier discussions cut straight to the foundations that truly matter.
If you’re newer to the podcast, this will give you a chance to catch some of the core ideas that shape how I think about women’s health.
And if this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman you care about. Until next time.

After years of struggling with debilitating periods, thyroid issues, a pituitary tumor, and a rocky start to perimenopause, Claudia knows exactly what it’s like to be dismissed by doctors and overwhelmed by conflicting advice. Her own healing journey led her to a functional health approach — and now she helps women cut through the noise, advocate for themselves, and finally feel like themselves again.
When she’s not deep in client labs or recording her podcast Perimenopause Simplified, you’ll find Claudia hanging at home with her partner Mike and their rescue pup, Dawson — the real star of the show.
