In Episode 92, Ellende Werd sits down with the Nicole Printon for an honest, empowering, and deeply informative conversation about perimenopause—a transition nearly every woman experiences, yet few feel prepared for. Nicole opens up about her personal journey, the science behind the symptoms, and the lifestyle shifts that help women thrive during this season of change.
Nicole and Ellen share about their personal experience(s) with hormonal havoc.
Together, we break down what perimenopause really is:
How it differs from menopause

Why it remains misunderstood and often underdiagnosed, even by healthcare providers
Nicole offers powerful insight into how hormonal shifts affect active women:
Energy, recovery, and muscle-building changes
Weight fluctuations, sleep disruptions, and stress responses
How to adapt fitness routines to feel strong and supported
The types of movement that tend to be especially helpful during perimenopause
We unpack the emotional side of the transition, including:
What’s happening hormonally when women feel anxious, moody, or “not themselves”
How to maintain confidence and self-compassion
Ways to stay grounded when identity feels challenged
Nicole explains what women should look for in a provider who truly understands perimenopause and discusses:
When hormone therapy or medical interventions may be appropriate
The labs or assessments women should request when symptoms don’t make sense
