FERNANDA LIMA compartilha ensinamentos para mulheres que estão passando pela MENOPAUSA

Key wellness strategies & self-care / productivity tips

Get a proper medical evaluation

• If you identify with menopausal symptoms, see a doctor.
• Ask about perimenopause (the phase before menopause), since diagnosis may be delayed because you may still be cycling.
• Encourage doctors to test and discuss perimenopause, rather than dismiss symptoms as “fine.”

Don’t self-diagnose fear—seek information and clarity

• The video highlights that many women leave appointments thinking they have serious conditions (e.g., Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, chronic insomnia) when symptoms are actually part of perimenopause/menopause.
• Learn as much as possible so you can understand what’s happening to your body.

Be supportive of yourself during a difficult transition

• Practice self-respect and self-support during this phase.
• Recognize that menopause/perimenopause is difficult but temporary—many symptoms lessen over time, even if people say it “doesn’t pass.”

Reframe aging positively and focus on living better

• View aging as a natural direction everyone is headed toward.
• Aim to age gracefully and improve quality of life through intentional habits.

Strength training to prevent age-related muscle loss

• A major point is that aging leads to muscle loss, which contributes to bigger health problems later.
• Use weight training/strength training as a key intervention.
• The speaker emphasizes consistency and practicality (e.g., doing it regularly and making it part of daily life).
• Strength training is positioned as self-care that helps you feel capable and supported by what you’re doing.
