Stefanie Billette joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful women’s health conversation on perimenopause, hormone changes, hot flashes, weight gain, low energy, thyroid health, sleep, nutrition, strength training, and why women need a better strategy for this transition.

Perimenopause can feel like your body is working against you. Energy drops, sleep changes, hot flashes start, weight gain shows up, and workouts stop working the way they used to. But this does not mean your body is broken.

This episode reframes perimenopause as something women can understand, support, and thrive through. Stefanie breaks down what’s happening in the body and how nutrition, sleep, fasting windows, fermented foods, strength training, thyroid support, cortisol regulation, and metabolic health all play a role.

This conversation is not about fear. It’s about ownership 💪 — helping women stop fighting their bodies and start listening to what their bodies are communicating.

Justin and Stefanie also unpack:

🎯 Why symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain, belly fat, and low energy are signals — not proof that your body is broken.

🥑 How women can support hormones naturally through food, healthy fats, protein, fermented foods, gut health, and better blood sugar rhythm.

💪 Why more HIIT, cardio, and intensity can backfire — and why strength training, sleep, recovery, and nervous system regulation become essential.

⚠️ What women should know before choosing hormone replacement therapy — and why HRT may be a tool, but not the whole strategy.
