Mageline Concepcion shares her journey from endurance athlete to perimenopause wellness pioneer, revealing how her body's changing needs forced her to completely reimagine her approach to nutrition and fitness after 40.

• Started fitness journey in her 20s focused solely on "getting skinny" through running and endurance sports
• Transitioned to viewing movement as essential for mental balance and stress management in her 30s
• Pregnancy at 37 required first major lifestyle adjustment and more mindful eating
• Discovered at 39 that previous workout and nutrition strategies no longer worked
• Experienced frustration when consistent weight training led to weight gain instead of loss
• Learned that perimenopause requires completely different nutrition timing and workout approaches
• Embraced "radical honesty" about food choices and movement patterns
• Uses technology (fitness tracker, food logging app) to maintain accountability
• Accepted that wellness changes are "for life" rather than temporary fixes
• Found peace in approaching health with grace and self-awareness
• Recognizes that ancestral patterns and colonialism impact our relationship with food measurement
• Encourages listening to your body's signals rather than following external rules
