Nobody told us perimenopause was gonna be like this. So consider this your warning. Which one got you?? 👀

A woman messaged me this and then apologized for “oversharing.”

She wasn’t oversharing.

She was describing a measurable hormonal shift that almost no one explains to women in their forties.

Lower testosterone kills the out-of-nowhere desire.
Lower estrogen changes blood flow, lubrication, and tissue down there.

Wrecked sleep and low progesterone finish off whatever’s left.

It’s not one thing and it’s not in your head.
It’s a stack, and most of it is workable once you know which piece is actually driving yours.

If this is you, comment SPARK and I’ll send you the breakdown of what we look at first. No shame, no candle advice.

Your friend’s perimenopause looks easy. Yours feels like hell. And quietly, you’ve started wondering what’s wrong with you.

Nothing is. You’re just not her.

She can do daily HIIT, run the business, juggle the kids, and thrive because her body can handle the load right now. Yours might already be maxed out, so the same things that work for her just break you down.

This is also why HRT makes one woman glow and leaves another bloated and anxious. Why peptides transform one woman and do nothing for the next. The tools were never the answer. What’s happening underneath, your hormones, your gut, your stress, your sleep, is.

I learned this the hard way. I was the picture of health, trained on national TV, and I still can’t force my body back into that shredded version without losing my sleep, my patience, and my s*x drive. So I stopped chasing what worked for everyone else and started building around what MY body actually needed.

That’s the work I do with women. Not the same recycled protocol for everyone, reading what’s really going on in YOUR body and changing the course from there.

And right now I’m giving away free DUTCH tests so you can finally see what’s actually happening with your hormones instead of guessing.

She’s 42.
Newly divorced.
PCOS her whole life.
Then perimenopause hit and everything stopped working.
Scale stuck.
Up at 3am wired.
Snapping at everyone.
The anxiety she thought she’d beaten, back again.
Nobody tells women this: PCOS doesn’t leave in your 40s.
It collides with perimenopause.
Progesterone drops, insulin resistance climbs, and every old symptom comes back louder.
She wasn’t doing it wrong. She was fighting two hormone shifts at once with advice made for neither.
Since April: down 13.3 lbs.
Cycle 41 days to 31 (she’s ovulating again).
Sleeping through the night.
Calmer.
The depression she carried for years hasn’t touched her since.
Her kids watch the end of her workouts now and ask about it. That’s the part that made her cry.
If this is you, comment HER and I’ll send you where we’d start. 🤍

I lost 160 pounds. I beat stage 2 thyroid cancer. I’d built a career, gotten remarried, and by every outside measure I had it together.

And then perimenopause walked in and nearly took me out.

I’ve never said this part out loud to most of you. There was a stretch where I was so far down that I wrote out a list of mental health facilities for my husband, just in case. I genuinely thought something was deeply wrong with me. I thought I was the problem.

It wasn’t me. It was my hormones shifting, and not one person around me was connecting the dots.

Perimenopause is not just hot flashes and missed periods. It can hit your mind and your body at the same time the anxiety, the 3am wake-ups, the rage, the weight that won’t move and too many women get handed an antidepressant and sent home without anyone ever looking at the full picture. (And to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with that medication when it’s truly needed. I just knew, in my body, that something else was going on too.)

So if you’re in it right now, start here. Track the pattern, not just one symptom it’s the cluster showing up together that points to peri. And when you go to your doctor, don’t just ask for “hormones.” Ask for a full thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4, and antibodies not just TSH), estradiol and progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and SHBG, plus fasting insulin and a morning cortisol. And ask them to look at your free hormone levels, not just the totals. That’s so often where the real answers are hiding.

I came back from the bottom. If you’re standing where I was, I promise you can too.

💬 Comment CARE and let me show you exactly how I help women in peri get their bodies and their minds back.

Save this for the hard days. And send it to a friend who’s been told “it’s all in your head.” 🤍

I said what I said 😂
Capricorn here and slide 11 is a personal attack. Three Q4s deep and still acting like the hot flashes aren’t hot flashing. Thankfully not anymore! 👏🏽
Tag yourself 👇 which one are you??

Shana was told she had PCOS (now PMOS) and would never have a regular cycle and told losing weight will be tough and not to expect much.

148 days between periods.
Inflamed.
Exhausted.

Foggy.
After working with us, back to back cycles at 31 days, less inflammation, energy back, mind clear.

Here’s the thing most women don’t know, PCOS isn’t an o***y problem. It’s a whole body metabolic problem. That’s literally why it’s being renamed to PMOS, polycystic metabolic syndrome.

There are 4 types of PCOS, insulin resistant, inflammatory, post pill, and adrenal.

If no one tells you which type you have, you’re treating the wrong thing.

Shana’s was adrenal and inflammatory, driven by her gut. We tested. We found the root. We built a protocol for HER body.

That’s the difference.

Comment ROOT and I’ll send you info on how we work. 👇

The amount of women sliding into my DMs getting MAD when I ask questions about their symptoms and tell me

“I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT LABS TO GET RUN.”

Sis. I get it.
You’re exhausted.
You want answers.
You want someone to hand you a list and fix this.
But lab work without a strategy is just paper.

You can’t out-supplement hormones your body can’t use.

You can’t diet your way through a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

You can’t exercise away a histamine response.

Perimenopause isn’t a lab problem. It’s a whole body problem. And until someone looks at the whole picture, your natural detox, your gut, your minerals, your nervous system, your hormones together, you’re going to keep spinning.

Tell me why women over 40 need a whole team of doctors just to feel normal again…
❤️Cardiologist for the racing heart.
😣 GI for the bloating.
🧠Neurologist for the migraines.
🗣️Therapist for the rage.
😴Sleep doctor for the 3am wake-ups.
And NOT ONE of them connects it back to your hormones.
Or your cortisol.
Or your nervous system that’s been running on fumes since your last kid was born.
It’s not “just stress.” And it’s definitely not 5 separate things wrong with you.
It’s perimenopause. And the system isn’t built to catch it.
If you’re nodding while you read this, comment READY. I’ll show you what it looks like when someone finally puts the whole picture together. 💕

re-introducing myself for the new folks (and a refresher for the day-ones 👋). i’m Erica, but my husband and kids call me Fit Love.

✨ Capricorn to my core; always climbing, always chasing the next thing (it’s a character flaw, i’m working on it)

✨ former Biggest Loser trainer on USA Network turned founder of Fit Love Health, where i’m focused on helping women navigate perimenopause with a team of incredible coaches from all over the world 🌎

✨ rise-from-the-ashes is kind of my whole thing: single mom, thyroid cancer survivor, autoimmune warrior, currently surviving perimenopause with my sense of humor (mostly) intact

✨ mom of 3 humans + 3 dogs (forever 4 in my heart — RIP sweet Tito 🤍)

✨ some say I’m spicy but insanely sweet. If you’re in my circle, I will go to the ends of the earth for you. Im an introverted extrovert. i cuss too much, throw a damn good party, and you’ll have to pry my crispy McDonald’s Diet Coke out of my cold dead hands. My local McDonald’s knows me by name, Hi Everrett 👋🏽 My HOA hates me because I decorate for
every holiday.

now tell me something about YOU 👇 are you a day-one or brand new here? and what’s your “Diet Coke” the thing you’ll never give up no matter how healthy you get?
