The Perimenopause Method, a transformative program featuring leading Australian doctors and specialists, empowering women in their 30s and 40s to understand the impact of perimenopause and take control of their health. The program provides essential education and tools to navigate the physical, mental and emotional shifts associated with the perimenopause transition.
1 in 5 women experience symptoms of perimenopause by the age of 40, however many women in their 30s still don’t know what perimenopause is. All too often they suffer in silence, thinking changes including fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, mood fluctuations and more are just a natural part of aging. Many women endure years of symptomatic distress before understanding the underlying condition, and one in three women will experience perimenopausal depression and anxiety. The Perimenopause Method aims to change this narrative, providing expert-backed education, workouts, nutrition guidance and mindset strategies tailored to this critical life stage.
Building on the widespread success of The Menopause Method program which launched in 2024, The Perimenopause Method is the latest addition to Michelle Bridges’ suite of programs, designed to provide comprehensive support and education for women throughout their entire menopause journey. It also follows Michelle’s recently launched podcast, We Have a Situation, which debuted at #2 on the Australian health and fitness podcast chart.
Having personally experienced the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause, Michelle Bridges is on a mission to educate, guide and connect women going through this often misunderstood phase of life, providing an action plan to manage symptoms and futureproof the following years leading up to menopause and beyond:
“I want women to know that they don’t have to suffer. When you understand perimenopause, you can take action – supporting your body, your mind, and your future wellbeing. I’ve been through it myself, I’ve learnt so much and I’m here to guide them through it.” said Michelle.
“When it started for me, I felt anxious, flat, sleep deprived, and unmotivated. My hip ached, I had tinnitus at night and I’d put on weight. I put it down to a range of things that were happening in my life and my GP even misdiagnosed it. I was a walking perimenopause textbook, and no one had told me!
The reality is that perimenopause can start as early as 35, and then symptoms can continue for years after menopause has officially occurred. For some women, this means they are battling perimenopause and menopause symptoms for a significant part of their life. This natural transition is the time for a reset, leading to long-term health, wellbeing and vitality,” stated Michelle.
The Perimenopause Method is a comprehensive 12-week program that combines the latest research and science with practical advice, and provides a supportive community for women to connect and openly share their experiences. The program is designed to help women navigate perimenopause with a holistic approach, focusing on fitness, nutrition, mindset, community and more, with expert advice from leading Australian doctors and specialists.
The program includes:
- Exercise plans and workout videos tailored for women experiencing perimenopause, focusing on progressive strength training to build lean muscle, balance, agility, low-impact cardio, and Pilates.
- Meal plans with simple and easy to prepare Mediterranean-style recipes and Asian flavours, designed to support hormone balance, bone, heart, gut and brain health, and energy levels. The customisable meal plans seamlessly connect to the recipes and generate shopping lists.
