This week’s guest is Emily Barclay. Emily created The Perimenopause Hub three years ago and now has 40,000 members. Emily is also a personal trainer and a dog lover!

Emily’s passion to support other women in a way which is supportive and practical shines brightly throughout this conversation.

In this episode we talk about:

• How Emily was the fittest she’d ever been at 39 and how she’d been training for an iron man triathlon.
• How only 4 months later, she was exhausted, gaining weight and had trouble sleeping but had no idea why until 3 and half years later.
• How overexercising can be more of a stressor rather than a stress relief.
• Why listening to and trusting your body is so important during perimenopause.
• The power of cycle tracking.
• How Emily was inspired to create an online space to raise awareness and support other women going through Perimenopause.
• How perimenopause can be a pivotal time of life and a trigger to finding your true purpose.
