As a woman of 55, everything was great till 53 (when menopause hit). I've always been active and ate well, BMI of 20-21 my whole life, and no depression. Then 53. My only menopause symptoms were weight gain (like overnight of 15lbs) 😮 and anxiety. Started on HRT but didn't solve those two issues. If I could go back and speak to my 49 year old self I would say to weight train 3x week for 40 minutes and eat a lot more protein (120g/daily). And be positive! This is the time to adore your body and take care of it. 🥰
Thanks for sharing! That's exactly the same advice I would give my 49-year-old self :) Exercise and eat protein. I really regret not doing it right. Unfortunately, I was captivated by the idea of "cleansing" and forgot what food is essential for life. Nevertheless, I have a lot of activity in my life, keeping my BMI effortlessly at 20-21. My menopause came this spring when I turned 53. I just lost all of my progesterone-the level dropped to almost zero-and felt terrible. No weight gain yet, but I have drastically reduced all carbohydrates. I replace progesterone (tried cream and capsules, both work for me) and wait until it's over. How are you now?
What I learned in this video: 1. Gratitute walking - love walking! Find nice area to go to walks as much as possible. 2. Hydrate - goes without saying. 3. Supplements (I am taking Mg and B Vitamin complex, sometimes Potassium) 4. Try new things (trying to learn French but I need more than that) 5. Resistance training (I do cardio which probably is not great) 6. Move as much as you can 7. Epsom salt bath (I have Mg spray, does that work too?) 8. Mindset (this can be difficult if you are suffering from depression or anxiety)
I turned 40 in September and I kinda just stopped doing all the things that made me feel good. I made a promise to myself to quit vaping , meditate , journal, strength/ rebound/ walk and hike , I will definitely add an Epsom salt bath to my nighttime routine ❤
When I turned 40, I was still smoking, still had all the “baby weight” (and my kid was 6 😂), and lived in sweats. My hair was falling out. I felt old and ugly. With a lot of intention, now at 43, I feel better and look better than I ever have! 40 feels like to late but it can be just the beginning! Yo got this!
Tracy I’m so glad I found you!! I’m 41 and starting to really feel the effects of hormone changes. Your videos have made me feel so much more comfortable with this and I’ve even started embracing it. Thank you for normalizing menopause and perimenopause and showing us that we can still look and feel amazing no matter what stage of life we are in! ❤
I’m so happy to hear that! Embracing these changes is such a powerful step, and it’s wonderful that you’re already feeling more comfortable with it all. 💕 Hormone shifts can be challenging, but you’re absolutely right - we can still feel amazing and thrive at every stage of life!
Make sure you're using Bob's Red Mill baking soda instead of Arm & Hammer, the latter contains aluminum. Also adding a cup of Borax, yes, Borax, is very detoxifying!
Having your "gym" in your home office is the best! I used to obsess and not take breaks, but now I make a point of taking off 45 minutes in the evening. I have my yoga mats and weights right there. It's great to do shorter breaks to stretch during the day.
You are lovely and I really like your input! I just came down with a nasty sinus infection and it puts my life in perspective again that one’s health is really the most important one and I am grateful that I’m forced to take this time off and I’m grateful of all the comfort around me to get healthy again! Love to all
No sugar exercise try to sleep because is hard to sleep at night and try to associate with positive energy. Age gratefully and happy with what you got. Be alive and reach out some age is something that we have to be thankful grateful. Because life is a miracle ❤
I'm 46 and I've been in a surgical menopause for 6 years. I'm on HRT but have lots of aches and pains and not enough energy. I must do some resistance training!
You’re my menopausal younger sister Tracey! 💕 … I’m 53 and menopaused 2 years ago. I relate to a lot of problems like fatigue, dry mouth etc you’ve shared before and here. I developed joint pains, severe morning stiffness and was diagnosed with polyarthralgia. I have given up sugar gluten and dairy and am doing infinitely better. I am still on the journey to complete healing and I am sure I will get there. Your openness, spontaneity and positive attitude are wonderful! 💕💕
Hello Tracy, great video. I like learning new things and this year, I'm drawing, I'm painting, it gives me a moment of relaxation where I don't think about anything. Thanks for this tutorial, always good advice.🤩🤩🤩
Im finding myself reading more..something I really enjoy. Ive been more mindful about my process sugar since I noticed an influx of it inflames my psoriasis.. this menopause thing is a total lifestyle change and Im just trying to find ways to minimize some of it effects physically and mentally
Hi Tracy could you suggest an electrolyte with no sugar or no sweetness. Im 50 and four years into menopause. Your information is so valuable to menopausal women.
I would still love a hair coloring video❤❤❤❤ I got a box and it's been oh idk 10 years since I've done that I'd really really appreciate some advice stat haha 😂 I'm about to break down
Agree! It’s been a couple weeks now since she made that video asking if we wanted one. However- I DO know she has a life and maybe these videos are recorded weeks in advance!
@@TracyCampoliI use to use both herbatint and naturatint. Then I started using henna instead for some time. Then I started back with dyes and started using naturatint . I was wondering which of the two were more natural if they even are. I saw an interview with Cara Brotman(?) a raw foodist. She said she uses natutint. Because she’s very into health I felt like she probably researched it and fount naturatint to be a bit better. But it’d be nice if you were to compare the two and give your opinion if one is more natural then the other
I live in a climate similar to Miami 's, but going outside to walk is daunting; the heat, humidity, lack of shade. So I appreciate the tip of the walking pad. I think it's something even someone as sedentary as I am can implement 😂
Hi Tracy loving your channel, amazing life tips for us gals....I too live in Miami 🥵 not happy on a really humid day LOL......thanks for all the tips! 😘
I love them! I’d suggest trying them bc the first month is half off! I find a huge difference in my energy and stamina either way them which imo is worth it at almost 50!
I listen to you two times I have a question Yii said cardio is making is lossing toned body Than after suggesting extra walking? How much walking? 5km per day I am from Montenegro Europa I also notice I look ugly and tired after long cardio 1 h cardio for example❤
I know and once you hit menopause you’re not “done” like many women think. There’s often years (decades) of changing which is why my dr (and me too!) prefer to not say post. 🙌

Cardio is good..twice a week do sprint 20sec run as hard as you can, then rest 3 min or 4..repeat 4 times twice a week! Get that hartrate up

Great point on baking soda. How much should a person use. I will google too. Thank you Tracy.
I eyeball it about a 1/4 cup
I'm glad I met u today! 🎉🎉 Thanks for the info. I'm going to be grateful for myself daily ❤
I love all these tips, but the one about expressing gratitude before bed is my personal favorite 🙏🏻💗
The water break 😂 so cute!! I am premenopausal and appreciate all of these tips. Love your videos!!
Thank you sister!❤
You are so welcome💋
Hi! Can you recommend an electrolyte I can put in my water to help me stay hydrated? Thank you in advance.

It’s always hot! 😂😂😂
Hi Tracy . Are you on HRT. Would you recommend it. I do not sleep well and wake up to pee many times. Any solutions.
Ooo what site/program do you use for your online Italian classes?
I think this is the best colour EVER for you!
I agree!!!
Tracy will your TBT program work for me. I'm 49 and struggling to loose weight. Need motivation.
Of course!!! And the best part…it’s fun!!!!
your absolute stunning and inspiring cause ou are so real xo
I have found that running is not benefiting me anymore at 50. But will try and keep on running anyway as I want to stay cardio fit.
Love the red Tracy❤
Doesn't putting baking soda in your bath throw off your ph balance?🤔
first time here, great video,
Welcome!!!🤗
What Italian course are you taking?
Tracy are the gems like a multi vitamin? Is that all you take everyday for supplement?
Yes! And truly delicious and effective! Every single day I take one 🥰
@@TracyCampoli I'm realizing I'm taking supplements I prob don't need and this would prob be what I need. But it's pricey every 25 days.
I love them! I’d suggest trying them bc the first month is half off! I find a huge difference in my energy and stamina either way them which imo is worth it at almost 50!
@@TracyCampoliso I'm hypothyroidism so I'm hoping this is ok for me to take. It prob is.
I take magnesium with glycinate to sleep better
I listen to you two times
I have a question
Yii said cardio is making is lossing toned body
Than after suggesting extra walking? How much walking?
5km per day
I am from Montenegro Europa
I also notice I look ugly and tired after long cardio 1 h cardio for example❤
I like to get in 10,000 steps a day (but often don’t!) but I try!
How much baking soda do you add?
Great question! About a 1/4 cup
Can you do one on Reverse T3
I do most of these, but don't lift weights as much as I should because it can be boring or the thought of it.
Definitely not the bath as we are in a major drought where I life (near Barcelona), but I will try thinking things to be grateful in bed. I love it!!
Love the color
I like your top and leggings, where we can find them?
These were a gift but thank you!😊
😮 aint no way your 49! Wow you look super young ❤
Oh thank you! Turning 50 in November 🎉🎉🎉
There is Peri menopause, menopause (the moment you're menstrual bleed stops permanently), & post menopause.
I know and once you hit menopause you’re not “done” like many women think. There’s often years (decades) of changing which is why my dr (and me too!) prefer to not say post. 🙌
@@TracyCampoli lol. Ok you're the boss! 😉
Menopause is actually 12 months post your last menstrual period
@@carolinewallace6114 No, it's not. It's the moment it stops. Watch any of the hormone doctors on YT. I only know that information from them.
But ultimately, you're right. Wth does it matter... everyone is going to call it all menopause anyway! 😉
All the hormone doctor experts are wrong I guess. 😢
Putting baking soda in bath😊
Living in Miami it might be better for you to learn Spanish! That’s our unofficial language. Miami native here 😊
Don’t feel bad if this doesn’t work for you.
You can’t balance the very low hormones that happen with menopause.
Also not everyone can walk or do these things…
I am so scared about menopause,
Don’t be! It’s natural and I’m here to help🙌💕
