#123 - Part 2: Jen Reverses Biomarkers, Ditches Injuries, Belly Fat, Maximizes a Physique & Running Transformation at 47

What if perimenopause could actually become one of the strongest, healthiest seasons of your life? In this episode, Louise, one of the world's leading women's integrative health practitioners, performance scientists, and exercise physiologists, sits down with Jen to share a transformation story that challenges everything many women believe about aging, hormones, body recomposition, running, and performance!

Jen highlights how simple, consistent strategies like whole-food nutrition, strategic strength training, and fueling that works with our unique changing hormones and female physiology can lead to meaningful changes in body composition, energy, confidence, and biomarkers without relying heavily on medications or extreme protocols.

The conversation explores how small, sustainable, and highly strategic habits compound over time, why a community of strong women's support matters most during midlife, and mindset shifts that can help women move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered.

Listeners will walk away with reassurance that progress does not require perfection, endless supplements, diets, or expensive tools. Instead, it comes from learning how to work with our female body, not against it. Whether you are navigating hormonal changes, struggling with a fitness plateau, or want to feel your best in your body, this episode offers hope, clarity, and practical perspective.
