Ever feel like your mornings are running you?
What if they were your biggest opportunity to reconnect with your body and reset your hormones—naturally?
As we move through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, our rhythms shift—and so should our routines. That’s why I’ve simplified my mornings to support energy, metabolism, and hormone balance, without the tech or trends.
Let’s talk about what actually works.
☀️ Why Your Morning Routine Matters More After 40
Hormone shifts in your 40s, 50s, and beyond affect your energy, metabolism, sleep, and cravings. The earlier in the day you create stability, the better your body responds.
That’s why I treat mornings as sacred.
A simple, grounded start can regulate:
- Cortisol and melatonin (hello, better sleep!)
- Blood sugar and insulin
- Mood and mental clarity
Your morning is your reset button.
🌞 Start With Light — Not Screens
Forget the phone. Your body is wired to respond to natural light.
I step outside within 30 minutes of waking — no sunglasses, no glass between me and the sun. Just bare eyes, bare skin.
This helps:
- Regulate your circadian rhythm
- Kickstart hormone production
- Set you up for better sleep later
💪 Move Gently, Build Strength
You don’t need a long, intense workout — you just need to move.
Walking, bodyweight movement, or even a few kettlebell swings can:
- Boost metabolism
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Preserve muscle mass
Strength training is non-negotiable as we age.

🍳 Protein First — Then Coffee
Forget toast or fruit. If you want stable energy and fewer cravings, start with animal protein.
For women over 50, this helps:
- Stabilize blood sugar
- Preserve lean muscle
- Reduce hot flashes and mood swings
Keto-carnivore eating has helped me — and many women I work with — feel stronger, leaner, and more balanced.
🌿 Mindfulness Over Mayhem
Before the world rushes in, I take a few minutes for grounding.
This might look like:
- Journaling
- Gratitude practice
- Breathwork
- Sitting outside with bare feet on the earth
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about presence.
✨ My Real-Life Morning Routine
This is how I start most of my days:
🌀 Rebounding to get my lymph flowing
💪 Kettlebell bursts to fire up metabolism
🪥 Oil pulling while I prep for the day
🧽 Dry brushing for skin glow + circulation
🥚 A protein shake with raw egg + collagen (hello, energy!) — and no, I don’t overdo the water. Drink when thirsty, not out of habit
🚿 Cold shower to seal it all in
Not every day is perfect. But it’s about momentum — not mastery.
Start small. Stay consistent. Build a body you love living in.
