At Skill of Strength, we’ve seen perimenopause affect so many of our members—from disrupted sleep and low energy to changes in strength, body composition, and overall confidence. For many women in their 40's and 50's, these symptoms are frustrating and discouraging. It can feel like you’re doing everything right, yet not seeing the results you expect—or the ones that used to come more easily when you were younger.
Join us at Skill of Strength in Chelmsford for a free talk with Laura Brown, MS, WHNP-BC, MSCP from Sapphire Women’s Health.
- Perimenopause symptoms & what’s “normal”
- Hormone therapy (what you should know)
- Strategies to feel better, stay strong, and age well
This event is free and open to the community. You must register online to secure your spot.
I Just Don't Feel Like Myself - We Get It!
At SOS, our goal goes beyond great training sessions in the gym. We want to give you the tools, knowledge, and support you need to thrive outside the gym as well. That might mean helping an athlete chase peak performance—or helping women in midlife navigate perimenopause and beyond with strength, confidence, and energy.
For a sneak peek of what Laura will cover at this event here's the five major points of note, but you can check out the full blog in the link below.
Blog: A Menopause Expert's 5 Tips to take Back Control in Perimenopause
By Laura Brown, WHNP-BC, MSCP, Coach, Founder/CEO of Sapphire Women's Healthcare
Perimenopause can sneak up on you. One minute you're feeling like yourself, and the next you're exhausted, not sleeping, gaining weight despite your efforts, and wondering why you can’t stand the sound of your partner’s breathing!
As a menopause specialist, I see this every day — and I want you to know you're not broken. You're just in a major hormonal transition. Here are my top 5 evidence-based strategies to help you feel better, stronger, and more like yourself again.
1. Hormone therapy is often the most effective tool — and yes, it's safe for most women.
2. Local estrogen can completely change your vaginal and sexual health.
3. Testosterone may help with libido (and it’s not just for boys!)
4. Lift heavy things and eat protein — your body needs both now more than ever.
5. Sleep is not optional — protect it like it’s your job.
