110. Why You Have No Motivation in Perimenopause (What Most Coaches Get Wrong)
Episode 110
Tuesday, 19 May, 2026
If you feel like you have no motivation to work out, eat healthy, stay consistent, or take care of yourself in perimenopause, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm breaking down why low motivation in your 40s isn't a discipline problem - but a physiology problem. We're diving into how declining estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, blood sugar dysregulation, stress, and cortisol imbalances can create a cascade effect that impacts your energy, sleep, cravings, anxiety, workouts, and overall resilience. I also explain why lifestyle changes still matter deeply - but for some women, hormones and nervous system support need to be addressed first. In this episode, we cover: Why low estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can impact motivation, energy, and stress tolerance The connection between cortisol dysregulation, anxiety, poor sleep, cravings, and burnout in perimenopause Why "just be more disciplined" is often the wrong advice for women in midlife The cascade effect of hormonal depletion on metabolism, workouts, recovery, and consistency Why supporting hormones, blood sugar, and the nervous system can make healthy habits feel doable again FREE TRAINING: Why You Feel Off In Your 40s (Even When You're Doing Everything Right) WORK WITH US: The Perimenopause Method CONNECT WITH CLAUDIA: WebsiteYouTube InstagramInquiries SHOP: Products We Love LOVE THE SHOW?
