Woke up with back pain? Knees popping like popcorn? Feel like you've aged 10 years overnight?

Sister, it might not be “just aging”—it could be Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause. Sounds dramatic, right? Maybe. But it’s real, and it’s affecting way more women than we’re talking about.

You didn’t magically become fragile at 45. Your hormones, especially estrogen, play a HUGE role in keeping your joints juicy, your bones strong, and your muscles solid. And when those hormones start leaving the party during perimenopause or menopause, your whole body starts feeling it.

In today’s post, we’re diving into:

• What Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause even is
• How to tell if you’re dealing with it
• Simple, science-backed steps to protect your bones, joints, and energy for the long haul

You’ll walk away with a new level of understanding—and a game plan that puts you back in control.

There is no single pill, supplement, or protocol that creates great menopause health—and that’s exactly why you need a toolkit.

In this episode of Unmute Your Midlife, Joyce breaks down the Menopause Toolkit, a practical, whole-body approach to feeling better in midlife and beyond. We cover how nutrition, movement, pharmacology, supplements, stress reduction, and sleep optimization work together to support hormones, energy, mood, and long-term health.

You’ll learn:

• Why menopause health requires intention, not luck

• Where medications and supplements fit (and where they don’t)
• How chronic stress sabotages menopause health
• How to build a sustainable plan that works for your body

You’re not “aging badly.” You’re not imagining things.
Your gut is calling the shots… and your skin is showing the receipts.

We’ll also talk about gentle ways to support your microbiome using Arbonne’s Digestion & Microbiome Support sticks, Prebiotic Fiber, Green Synergy Elixir, Omnigut Daily, and Fast Melt Probiotics — tools I use and trust as a nurse and midlife wellness coach.

By the end, you’ll understand why your gut might be the missing link in your skin journey — and what simple steps you can take today.
