I am smack in the middle of peri/menopause. No period here for 7 months! My symptoms have been going strong since about 2020. This is what I have experienced on a off: joint pain, fatigue, moodiness, low energy, headaches, hot flashes, night sweats, dizziness, ear ringing incisively, heart palpitations, loss of patience, vertigo, clumsiness, low iron, gas, bloating, the list goes on and on. Some weeks are better than others and I chug along. i can not take HRT since I had a health issue 12 years ago. I workout, walk, try to eat lots of protein and stay as hydrated as possible. I breath deep, stretch a lot, pray and meditate as often as I can and try to smile all day. Is it easy? No! Especially having two teenage boys, a husband and an elderly mom and sister with with special needs! Whew! It's a lot but it is doable. Why is it doable? Because my livelihood depends on it! Ladies, prioritize YOU first as often as possible. I know life happens but we must get back on the train and focus!!! This is what works for me and its a rollercoaster ride. It's ever changing and I go with the flow, I don't fight it! I am 50 btw
Thank you so much for sharing!!
of course! i love to help anyone when i can
This 💯 sounds like me in every way!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Vitamin C oil serum in the morning and Rosehip oil in the evening has drastically helped. And good face creams.
Thanks for the tip!
I adore facial oils 👌🏻, I reach for them much more often than moisturizer 🧴 (although I need a gallon of that too!) 😆 Carrot seed oil is a great after sun ☀️ oil for age spots and spf. 🤗
Thank you!! I’m 42 and just this week learned that I am in perimenopause. Your video is so encouraging!!❤❤ Love your workouts too! You helped me heal a hurt knee this summer with your knee stretch videos. I am so thankful for you!
Jessica, you are always so helpful and such an inspiration. I am a 68 year old woman, a fitness enthusiast since I was in my 20's. I wish I had this perimenopause info back in my day, but thankfully I did alot of my own research and kind of figured it out. I can't say enough how important movement, exercise and walking has been on my aging journey. You are a wonderful resource, with such valuable information and I so appreciate all you do. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much!
I wholeheartedly agree and feel grateful for your sharing these golden pieces of advice, Jessica. I turned 54 this last Summer and in the middle of menopause. Yes, I have had a lot of changes both inside and outside of my body. Last year, I even broke my 5th metatarsal bone on my right foot and got a repair surgery, which stopped me from my 20 something year old daily running. I felt miserable, realizing my weakened bones, incompetent physical capability for training, lots of sunspots that are always ready to get darker, thinning hair, etc etc... UGH. It just felt like I was in deep darkness without my running for almost half a year, but thanks to your wonderful pilates and stretching videos, I had been gradually, slowly, but steadily able to get back on my feet again, Jessica. How could I ever thank you enough, Jessica. As you mentioned, I have learned how to accept the positive sides of ageing and how not to push myself to limit, especially when my body is screaming for help and quality rest. Today, I still log 7-8 miles a day, 5 to 6 days a week, feeling grateful and peaceful at my own pace. Girls, believe in yourselves and love yourselves just the way you are, no matter what.
Again, I deeply appreciate your precious words for us all, Jessica. Stay well!
Thank you so much for sharing and I'm so glad you are starting to get back to the things you love ❤️
Your analogies are so true I loved your reference to the exercises being a ‘bank’ to prep you for the next phase of life. I exercise every day and try not to do too much to put me under stress, rather focusing on slow careful and controlled moves, this helps for me and I exercise according to my needs. I love weights and try to prioritise sleep as then other things fall in place slightly more easily. I loved your perimenopause work out. I also walk lots too. Thank you I am new to your challenge and your information is so valuable and helpful ❤️x
This is so helpful. Thank you. I will listen to the podcast.
Thank you so much for sharing, Jessica. I found tapping (EFT) very helpful for my emotional health. I started with reading Nick Ortner's book, then bought the app, and I find both as very helpful tools on my journey through peri. Love the idea of walks and focusing on gratitude and positivity!
I've been wanting to try to learn EFT!
For me, perimenopause has brought on excessive sweating and odor that I didn’t have before. I’ve cut back tremendously on my workouts and walks because my odor is so offensive.
I personally wouldn't cut back on walks. They are low stress workouts great for any sage in life
I Love and Like this video it’s helpful and it heals all the negative stuff off my body and brain
Thankyou so much for this ❤ i find your videos so helpful i had a hysterectomy 5 months ago i was getting bone and jount pain beforehand but from a day or so sfter my surgery i started with constant bone pain in my ankles, knees,hips, hands fingers thumb etc currently under rheumotologist having various tests one of the things i have been diagnosed with is joint hypermobilty spectrum disorder i am following some of your videos especially the ankle and foot strength exercises doing those each morning i feel is helping as my ankles get so bad i struggle walking some days. Big thankyou i really feel that you are an nspiration ❤xxx
Thanks for this. Have a look at using a retinol oil in the evening. Caroline Hirons is a great person to follow for guidance on skincare and mature skin. I also took the decision to stop any alcohol intake and my symptoms are so much better. My body just did not process it at all well and my night sweats were always worse for consuming it.
Thanks for the tips!
💯 I haven’t had any alcohol in over 3 years and no desire to drink it again. Pineapple 🍍 juice 🧃 is great . Trader Joe’s has four pk cans or you can get Dole as well. 😇
Hi Jessica, I love watching all your videos but unfortunately I'm not able to do all the exercises b'cos I've knee problems (doing some knee exercises from one of your videos on knee problems) and had hip replacement two years ago. I want to know whether I can do the exercises to tighten inner thighs which was on one of your videos after hip replacement surgery. Thank you for all the pilates exercises.
It's been almost ten years of hell for me severe headaches joint pain muscle cramps depression irregular periods night sweats histamine reactions weight gain poor sleep... A natropath said I had a blocked liver turns out have estrogen dominance now taking Dim and biodentical progesterone and warm water with lemon first thing but even that had minimal effect.I am a plant based eater and kept following a HCLF diet amd starch solution... I decided to add more protein. Tofu edammme beans and protein shakes it's only been a week and my body has settled I feeling like myself again after all these years protein is key. ❤❤❤Love and blessing to all thx for this great video amd channel.
How many walks a day so you take, or for how long? I looove walking, mentally and physically. I’ve been doing these things and I’m now done with menopause and it’s made a huge difference, but it’s nice to hear someone else affirm it.
I personally try to do 25 minutes a day as I find that the minimum of what makes me happy and works for my body :). I'll do maybe a little shorter on days I have a big workout and many times I'll do longer around 45 minutes if I have the time!
@@JessicaValantPilates That’s about what I do also. Therapeutic!
What kind of moisturized lotion would you recommend? I've tried so many different kinds. Aveeno is nice, but it's just not cutting it.
I have a lot of my favorites listed over on Instagram! Look at my highlights for favorites :). @jessicavalantpilates
Try NIVEA in the dark blue bottle...I live in the desert and this has helped more than anything else I have tried
Try Eminence organics Strawberry 🍓 or their Lavender age body oil (which is a thick creamy consistency). Or Farmacys Honey Savior. 🐝
I'm experiencing something strange with my right hip. I've suddenly lost range of motion with it and I don't recall an injury etc. I've had an x-ray and my hip joint looks fine. I recently read in a book by Christina Northrup that she experienced limited range of motion in her hip during perimenopause and did pilates to loosen the muscles around the hip. I'm just curious as a pilates instructor (and PT) if you've seen this relation between a sudden limited range of motion in a joint like a hip and perimenopause. I don't have any issues when moving my leg forward and back (like walking), but bring my leg across the midline of my body (like trying to stretch my knee to opposite shoulder) or out to the side (sitting in butterfly) there is some pinching in my thigh. I literally feel like my right hip is stuck and no amount of stretching or trying to mobilize the muscles around my hip will bring the range of motion any further.
Hormone changes definitely affect every single part of our bodies including joints, muscles, ligaments, bones, etc. Remember, women are losing Estrogen, Testosterone & Progesterone. Gentle exercise is so vital, good sleep, minimal stress, eating clean, etc. Every one is different. Each woman is so unique. For me, starting bioidentical Hormone replacement therapy along with diet, exercise, sleep, managing stress, etc has helped tremendously! No synthetic hormones & absolutely NO birth control in any form.

No synthetic hormones & absolutely NO birth control in any form. My symptoms have been before starting BHRT were: severe anxiety, hot flashes, sweaty feet, overall sweaty, sleep disturbances, vertigo, tinnitus, joint pain, brain fog, depression, dry eyes, dry mouth, dry skin, skin changes, irregular periods, sudden rapid weight gain, very low ability to handle stress, cognitive changes & so much more!! All of that on top of being hypothyroid & it all overlaps. Thankfully BHRT has tremendously helped! Self care is so important.
