Perimenopause Exercise & Nutrition to Help You Get Healthier & Leaner

Train with Your Hormones, Not Against Them

Perimenopause takes up nearly one-third of a woman’s life, yet there’s still barely any real guidance on how to train or eat during it.

Wild, right? Especially since so many women in this phase deal with:

  • Muscle loss

  • Fat gain (especially in the midsection)

  • Core dysfunction and Low energy

  • And a whole lot of confusion about what’s happening to their bodies

You are not broken. You’re just not being given the tools.

I help women in or entering perimenopause feel strong again—with:

Nutrition strategies that actually support body recomposition
Deep core and pelvic floor training
Smart strength programming for muscle maintenance AND gain

You don’t have to feel like a stranger in your own body for a third of your life.

Let’s take your power back—
one lift at a time.


Perimenopause Exercise & Nutrition App

For Women 35+ Who Want to Stay on Top of Their Goals

Finally, Support for the Season No One Prepares You For.

Most women hit perimenopause with no real prep—just unexpected weight gain, low energy, and workouts that suddenly stop working.

And when it comes to fitness? Most programs don’t even try to adjust for the hormonal shifts happening in your body.

That’s why I create customized fitness and nutrition plans for women in this season.

Because you deserve more than guesswork and one-size-fits-all advice.

Whether you’re noticing early signs of perimenopause or deep in the hot flashes and chaos, this app gives you the flexibility, structure, and support to stay strong, feel like yourself again, and move through this phase in power, not confusion.

“If you feel the same way, don’t wait!”

I didn’t find getting back in shape hard after having babies… I found it really difficult once they were pre-teenagers and I hit perimenopause! Suddenly the “tricks” to get in shape that worked in my 30s didn’t work anymore. Working with Katie has been a total game changer and I’m so glad I found her.

“...in my early 40s things started to shift.”

In my 20s and 30s I never really had to worry about diet and exercise. Then in my early 40s things started to shift. I started feeling tired easily, weight started to creep on, and my clothes didn’t fit well. Working with Katie has been incredibly helpful. She has showed me that having a clear plan for my workouts and diet I am able to realistically follow makes all the difference

Hi, I’m Katie BREARD

Why I Coach Women in Perimenopause and Menopause

I’m Katie Breard—mom of three, certified fitness and nutrition coach, and founder of Methods by Katie Breard.

After coaching hundreds of women in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s, one thing became clear: most of them felt completely unsupported through perimenopause and menopause.

They were dealing with low energy, sleep issues, stubborn weight gain, and workouts that suddenly stopped working—and no one was giving them answers.

This phase can last decades, but most doctors and trainers barely touch it.

That’s where I come in.

Nutrition & Perimenopause Exercise Routines

FAQs

  • As hormones shift in perimenopause, our bodies naturally start to lose lean muscle mass—which is a big deal because muscle is what supports metabolism, joint health, strength, and overall energy. Without proper training, this loss can lead to stubborn weight gain (especially around the belly), fatigue, and a general feeling of “what is happening to my body?!”

    To counter that, fitness in perimenopause needs to prioritize strength training, progressive overload, and functional core work. That’s exactly what I focus on inside my programs.

    Interestingly, perimenopause shares a lot in common with postpartum—your body is transitioning, hormones are in flux, and your core needs to be retrained for deep activation and support. If you’ve had kids, think of this as a second round of recovery—with smarter strategy and more muscle focus.

  • Every body is different, but most women start feeling improvements in energy, strength, and confidence within the first 2–4 weeks. Physical changes like muscle tone, reduced bloating, and fat loss often start showing around 6–8 weeks with consistent training and nutrition.

    This isn’t a quick-fix plan—it’s a long-term strategy to work with your changing body, rebuild muscle, and feel like yourself again.

    • You’re in your late 30s to early 50s and noticing changes in your body, energy, sleep, or mood

    • Your go-to workouts aren’t working anymore

    • You’re gaining weight despite “doing everything right”

    • You want a safe, effective way to build muscle and feel stronger

    • You want coaching that understands this phase of life—not just general fitness advice
