Why does something as familiar as exercise suddenly leave you breathless during perimenopause or menopause - and what is your body really trying to tell you?

Feeling unexpectedly out of breath during workouts can be unsettling, especially when nothing about your routine has changed. In this episode, Adele unpacks why this common experience can show up during perimenopause and menopause - from hormonal shifts and nervous system sensitivity to stress and breathing patterns. Through a grounded, evidence-informed lens, you’ll gain clarity on what’s happening in your body and, most importantly, how to respond in a way that supports your energy, confidence and long-term health.

Are you turning to AI for answers about your health, and could the instant validation be shaping the way you think about your menopause experience?

In this episode, Adele explores the surprising psychology behind why tools like AI can feel so supportive, especially for women navigating perimenopause or menopause. From instant answers to reassuring responses, AI can offer a sense of validation that many women feel they’ve been missing in traditional healthcare settings. But what happens when that constant agreement starts to shape our thinking? Adele unpacks the neuroscience of dopamine, the power of validation, and the hidden risks of relying too heavily on AI for reassurance.

Adele is joined by Dr Salas-Whalen to explore the evolving role of GLP-1 medications in perimenopause and menopause care. Moving far beyond outdated BMI measures and “skinny jab” stereotypes, they unpack body recomposition, metabolic health, strength training and protein intake, and ask whether GLP-1 therapy and HRT could one day work hand in hand to support women’s long-term health, cognition and cardiovascular wellbeing.

This is a nuanced, empowering discussion designed to help you make informed, evidence-based decisions about your midlife health.
