Why You Want to Push "Snooze" All Day

Feeling sluggish? Wondering why it's harder to motivate yourself to exercise? Scientists just discovered that waning estrogen in our 40s slows our physical activity. I hate to say it, but, "duh." I can't be the only woman who wrestled with a lack of drive when my hormones went haywire. The study, just published in the magazine Nature, hints that scientists are also trying to mimic HRT (hormone replacement therapy) with new therapies. This is all exciting. Like I always say, talk about your perimenopause symptoms with your friends. Share information and tips. We're in this together. DM me at PRETTY RIPE if you need to cry. (I carry tissues.)
