In this conversation, trainer and coach Samantha Montpetit-Huynh and Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and cofounder of wearemorphus.com, discuss perimenopause and menopause, including race, symptoms, stress, GLP‑1s, strength, and how culture shapes experiences in perimenopause and menopause.

Highlights:

Samantha’s experience growing up biracial, coming into her power, and finding her voice in midlife.
Women of color experience earlier/more intense symptoms, care gaps, and medical racism.
Women who feel unheard can experience increased stress and cortisol levels, which can impact their sleep and lead to weight gain, especially around the belly.
Vocabulary that helps us discuss race respectfully and clearly.
GLP‑1s are now a part of flashy influencer promos, while it's still unclear what the long‑term health risks are, and why solid lifestyle foundations matter the most.
Overtraining in midlife: signs you’re doing too much and simple workout modifications to prevent it.
The considerable importance of protein + strength, blood sugar management, and how these factors can influence our long-term independence and quality of life.
80/20 food approach and ditching guilt because balance beats perfection.
