These shorts fit last summer. Same diet. Same workouts. Different body. 👀
So I went looking for answers and found— and I can’t stop talking about it.
Here’s everything it does (because nobody told me this existed 🤔)
⚡️ METABOLISM
It activates AMPK — basically your body’s “burn mode” switch. It helps your cells use glucose and fat for energy more efficiently. This is huge in perimenopause when metabolism naturally slows.
💪 MUSCLE & BODY COMPOSITION
It supports muscle preservation and growth — critical when estrogen drops and we start losing muscle faster than ever.
🔥 INSULIN SENSITIVITY
Helps your body respond to insulin properly, which directly impacts belly fat storage and energy crashes. Perimenopausal women are more prone to insulin resistance & this works against that.
🧠 BRAIN & COGNITION
Supports mitochondrial function in the brain = less brain fog, better focus, sharper memory. (Yes, that’s a perimenopause symptom too.)
🦴 BONE DENSITY
Emerging research suggests it may support bone health — something every woman 35+ needs to be thinking about.
😴 ENERGY & FATIGUE
Because it works at the mitochondrial level (your cells’ power plants), women report more sustained energy throughout the day.
❤️ INFLAMMATION
These have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects — and chronic inflammation is at the root of so many perimenopausal symptoms.
It’s something your body actually produces naturally — but output declines with age. Adding it back in is what I’m exploring right now.
