This question came in in the past week from another site for which I contribute Strength Training commentary, VitalHealthZone. Given that the writer and I share the same age, I thought it was purposeful to share my response, given perhaps the differences in our perspectives on managing peri-menopause and the required work, nutrition and support of a body over 40+
I shouldn’t be surprised because the results have been magnificent. But this surely explains why I have been sooooo happy with my haircut. Turns out Gary Evans, my new stylist extraordinare, is a celebrity stylist for many names you may know, and some we can’t even mention.

I am a little torn by this “announcement.” Delighted that the issue is put to rest for the athlete and her family, glad that the “officials” finally got it right, yet disturbed that strong, fierce, dedicated athletic women are so disturbingly confusing for much of the world.
I remember the first time I saw those tight, strong arms on Linda Hamilton in the first Terminator movie. Way back in the day….circa 1991. They were fierce and powerful. I wanted them.
