Eps 416: Chronic Pain in Women Over 40: What’s Really Going On with Stacey Roberts
The aches and pains that show up in perimenopause are often brushed off as “just aging.”
Lately, I’ve been hearing from so many women who feel like their bodies suddenly changed overnight. The stiff shoulders, aching joints, sore hips, random pains after workouts, or waking up feeling uncomfortable from simply sleeping the “wrong” way. In this conversation, I sat down with Stacey Roberts to unpack why chronic pain and joint issues become so common in midlife and why it may have far more to do with hormones, inflammation, gut health, stress, and the nervous system than most women realize.
