Real Talk on Perimenopause, Hormones & Midlife Health If you’ve been doing “all the right things” — eating clean, working out, pushing through — and your body still feels different after 40… this show is for you. The Second Half Strong Show is where strength meets science for women navigating perimenopause, hormones, and midlife health. Hosted by Heather Hausman of H2, this podcast breaks down what’s actually happening inside your body during perimenopause — from shifting estrogen and rising cortisol to muscle loss, belly fat changes, sleep disruption, and nervous system overload. No fear tactics. No extreme trends. No shame. Just real conversations about: • Hormones & physiology • Metabolic health & muscle • Nervous system regulation • Body recomposition • Longevity & performance in midlife Because perimenopause isn’t the beginning of decline. It’s the beginning of a different kind of strength. Welcome to your second half — stronger.
