When most people think about menopause, they think about hot flushes.

But for many women, the first signs of perimenopause can look very different.

Brain fog. Poor sleep. Low energy. Difficulty concentrating.

What many women don’t realise is that the transition can begin years before menopause itself, making it easy to attribute these changes to stress, ageing, or a busy lifestyle.

Recognising the signs matters.

Understanding what may be changing can help you have more informed conversations about your health and seek the support that’s right for you.

Chronic inflammation doesn’t wait for an injury.

With age, the immune system can lose its ability to self-regulate, shifting the body into a slow, persistent inflammatory state that contributes to biological ageing from within.

This is what researchers call inflammaging: chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with ageing.

The good news is that inflammation is not fixed. It is influenced by the signals the body receives every day.

Blood sugar instability. Low muscle mass. Poor sleep. Chronic stress. Visceral fat.
Nutrient gaps. Low daily movement.

These all contribute to the inflammatory load.

At Global Glow, we look beyond a single biomarker. We assess the wider pattern, helping you understand what is happening inside your body and what can be changed.

Chronic inflammation is measurable.
And in many cases, manageable.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed people for decades, and one of the clearest threads running through lives that go well is not achievement, status, or perfect health habits. It is feeling connected, loved, and supported.

Chronic isolation can elevate inflammation, disrupt sleep, dysregulate the stress response, and increase cardiovascular risk in ways that are measurable and significant.
At Global Glow, we place social connection in the same framework as sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress regulation. These pillars do not function in isolation. The relational environment you live in shapes your physiology.

This is not just emotional. It is biological.
If you are optimising your health but not asking about connection, you may be missing an important part of the picture.

As we move into a new season, attention and energy tend to shift, but for many, the mental fatigue from constant digital stimulation doesn’t.

The concept of a “dopamine detox” is often misunderstood. It isn’t about eliminating dopamine, it’s about reducing the frequency of high-stimulation reward cues that fragment focus, disrupt habit formation, and make sustained attention increasingly difficult.
The behavioural neuroscience behind this is clear, and the practical strategies are straightforward.

We’ve published a full guide on the science, and where to start. Read it via the link below.

A patient can understand the doctor’s plan completely and still struggle to live it.

Not because they’re unwilling. Because life doesn’t pause for recovery. Work. Travel. Family. Stress. Poor sleep. Uncertainty.

These don’t compete with good intentions they bury them.

That’s where the gap usually lives. Not in the quality of the advice, but in whether the patient has the structure around them to keep acting on it.

This matters for clinics.

Patients don’t always need more information. They need help staying connected to what they already know they need to do.

That’s what Global Glow is built for: making the patient journey feel less fragmented once someone walks out of the appointment.

Julie Katerine Turcotte, Founder and CEO of Global Glow and Co-Chair of the Wellness and Wellbeing Pillar at , joined a conversation with Nannette de Gaspé Beaubien, Founder of , and Natalie Kjellstrom, Managing Director of Natalie K and Partners, on healthy ageing and the foundations that support it.

One theme that stood out was the importance of staying mentally active.

For the patients Global Glow supports, this matters because cognitive health influences more than memory alone. It affects focus, confidence, motivation, and the ability to stay engaged with the routines that support preparation, recovery, and long-term wellbeing. Recent research continues to support this. A 2025 meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies found that cognitive training was linked to measurable improvements in cognitive function

Global Glow founder Julie Katerine Turcotte in conversation with , Phd, naturopathic nutritionist, expert in healing and restoring internal imbalances, and formulator behind the products.

In this conversation, they explore the role of daily rhythm in shaping long-term health, from how we begin the morning to how stress can influence hormonal balance and overall resilience.

In the clip, Simone shares one of the ideas that stayed with us most: if you want to win your day, win your first hour. She speaks about the foundational pillars that support health over time, and why the body responds best when those foundations are strengthened consistently rather than occasionally.

As part of the Global Glow Talks series, this conversation reflects Global Glow’s wider interest in the habits, patterns, and internal conditions that influence how well we function, adapt, and sustain health long term.

Recent research keeps pointing in the same direction: what happens around treatment matters.

A 2025 BMJ review found that prehabilitation strategies such as exercise, nutrition, and psychosocial support were associated with fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and better physical recovery after surgery. (https://lnkd.in/eh3ZYgRp)

A 2026 JAMA Surgery study reinforced that sleep plays a critical role in postoperative recovery, influencing immune function, pain perception, neurocognitive performance, and wound healing. (https://lnkd.in/eu8ZHg2w)

And a 2026 Scientific Reports study found that social support was positively associated with treatment adherence, both directly and through improved health literacy. (https://lnkd.in/eSgbR82n)

The intervention matters.

But so do the conditions around it:

how well someone sleeps,
how supported they feel,
how clearly they understand what to do,
and whether the right behaviours can actually be sustained in daily life.

That is the layer Global Glow is built to support.

We work alongside medical teams to strengthen what happens before, between, and after appointments, because treatment does not happen in isolation, and neither do outcomes.

Part Two: More takeaways from .

A few ideas stayed with us.

From Robert Waldinger, MD: social disconnection is a key driver of unhappiness. In a treatment context, that matters. People cope, recover, and follow through differently when they feel alone versus when they feel supported.

From Peter Fifield, LCMHC, EdD: people often resist change not because they do not care, but because they do not feel safe enough in the conversation around it. That matters in any medical journey. A patient may be given excellent advice, but if they feel overwhelmed, judged, or unsure how to implement it, follow-through becomes much harder.

From Charles Czeisler, PhD, MD: sleep deficiency is not a minor issue, but a public health issue. It affects cognitive performance, metabolic health, mood, and safety, all of which can influence how someone prepares for treatment, recovers afterwards, and manages the demands of healing.

What stayed with us most was this: treatment does not happen in isolation. Outcomes are shaped not only by the intervention itself, but by what surrounds it, how supported someone feels, how well they recover, and how able they are to sustain the behaviours that help treatment work.

That is the gap Global Glow is built to support.

Part One: A few key takeaways from Harvard Medical School

This week, Global Glow Founder and CEO Julie Katerine Turcotte and COO Katarina Kupcikova completed the Lifestyle Medicine and Wellness Coaching Immersion at Harvard Medical School.

A few ideas stayed with us.
md spoke about the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, a reminder that long-term health is shaped by how we eat, move, sleep, manage stress, connect, and avoid harmful substances.

Rich Joseph, MD, MBA spoke about exercise as medicine and the role of movement in healthspan, performance, and long-term vitality. One point he made stayed with us: we would never tell someone with diabetes to simply “eat better” without offering structure, targets, and follow-up. Movement should be treated with that same level of seriousness if we want it to meaningfully support long-term health.

And from Robert Brooks, PhD, author of The Power of Resilience, one message stood out deeply:
we should never underestimate the impact one person can have on another person’s life.

His work on resilience reinforced something essential, that resilience is not built in isolation, but through positive relationships and human support.

A powerful few days, and a strong reminder that better outcomes are often shaped by what helps people sustain health in daily life.
