Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and studies have found that one in four (28%) post-menopausal women are likely to suffer from tooth loss within five years. Your gums can influence your health elsewhere in the body. Floss your teeth, save your gums, save your teeth. #menopause #dentalhealth #flossing @The Pause Life @TheCentervilleDentist Factors Associated with Tooth Loss in Postmenopausal Women: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study PMCID: PMC6843320 PMID: 31623275

Where do you start with beginner weightlifting? I like this weighted bar (this one is 30 pounds). I also love kettlebells, however any weight will work for your home exercise program. #homeexercise #beginnerweightlifting #weightliftingforwomen

Here’s why you can’t get to the ground and get back you: mobility and weak quads. Don’t worry, we can fix this! #mobility #musclestrength #quadriceps #weaklegs #homeexercise

One of the best non-hormonal treatments for perimenopause…moving your body. Okay, so it doesn’t take away hot flashes, but the menopause transition is more than hot flashes. Your entire being is changing, I need you to change. Weightlifting, yoga, walking…these are a few of my favorite things. I promise someday we will have the research to show how much this will change your life. It’s part of the toolbox for being in your 40s, 50s and 60s. Future you will thank you for making these changes. Save your body by saving your muscles. #weightlifting #perimenopausesymptoms #sarcopenia #muscle
