Tracy Minnoch (fitness industry veteran and founder of Sexy Aging) takes us through the whirlwind from late-pregnancy at 42 to years of undiagnosed perimenopause—complete with 35 symptoms, crippling anxiety, and dysregulated cycles.

We get real about Mirena vs. the pill, why MHT/HRT isn’t a “weight-loss hack,” and the lifestyle levers that actually move the needle: sleep as medicine, stress down-shifting, protein-forward nutrition, and lifting heavy for longevity.

Tracy shares how she rebuilt confidence, career, and health—plus what she’s teaching her daughter (and son!) so the next generation is menopause-literate.

You’ll learn:

• The postpartum → perimenopause overlap (and red flags to watch)
• What MHT can/can’t do—and how to decide with your doctor
• Why strength training beats “more cardio” in midlife
• Practical sleep + stress protocols that calm the nervous system
