Mini Pause #52: Say YES! to a Younger, Energized & Stronger You in 2025

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

I’m starting and leading a brand new program for perimenopausal women in January. I’ve designed this 8-week program to help you lose fat, gain muscle, and feel your most vibrant.

WHY

I’m currently writing my second book with a focus on perimenopause. After publishing “The Betty Body” on menstrual cycle literacy, I realized there is a journey so many women go over the arc of their lives. We are not really taught about the ebbs and flows of our hormonal landscape in our fertile years, and we most certainly are not educated on how to stack the deck in our favor in preparation for perimenopause.

My second book gets into how to set yourself up for the best perimenopausal transition. We will talk about hormones, nutrition, exercises, and getting you into a relaxed, tranquil state more often than you likely are now.

With my focus and formal education in nutrition, exercise physiology, and biomechanics, I will once again be tailoring a program within the book to suit women.

And before the book is published, I want to run several studies with women (aka – you!) to make sure it’s a solid program. I’ll be asking for your honest feedback along the way.

WHAT

I’ve long been a fan of hormone replacement therapy, but I’m going to give it to you straight–you cannot rely solely on hormones to get you through perimenopause.

  • HRT is not going to lift the weights for you.
  • HRT is not going to build meals for you.
  • HRT is not going to set boundaries for you.

Only you can do that.

So, I’m going to teach you how to major in the majors:

  • The what and how of muscle building.
  • The what and how of nutrition for a perimenopausal woman.
  • The what and how of stress management in midlife.

It’s going to be you, me, and a group of awesome women. It’s going to be glorious!

HOW

You’ll be joining YES: Younger, Energized & Stronger, an eight-week program I’ll be leading you through with weekly live coaching calls. The program pillars will include:

Younger

I am going to teach you how to eat and exercise to help your cells act like younger versions of themselves. In many cases, we will be actively getting rid of old cells in favor of new ones. This pillar is all about mitochondrial health and is designed to reduce your biological age.

Energized

I am going to teach you the strategies to increase your energy and reduce brain fog so you can meet the demands of your day with ease. This pillar is all about metabolic health and how to improve your glucose and insulin regulation. I’ve also created a nutrition plan that can be adapted to your specific needs that we will be going over together.

Stronger

I am going to teach you specific female biomechanics so you can squat, lunge and deadlift properly. I have designed a weight lifting program that we will be going over during the eight weeks that will specifically target glute growth and the upper body muscles that create an hourglass figure.

NOW

To be part of the new program, email support@drstephanieestima.com with the word YES in the subject line to join the first session for FREE, and I’ll send you all the details.

We’ll start this new 8-week program with the FREE first session on Tuesday, Jan. 14, at 7 p.m. ET.

  • The first class is my gift to you with no obligation to continue.
  • If you'd like to join the first session, but can't make that date & time, send me your “YES” and I'll send you the replay.
