Is Pilates the missing piece for midlife hormone balance?

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, sits down with Beth Sandlin of Trifecta Pilates to discuss why Pilates is one of the most powerful forms of exercise for women over 40 navigating perimenopause, stress, and body changes.

Beth shares her personal journey of discovering Pilates while recovering from cancer treatment. She didn’t need intense workouts or high cortisol training — she needed movement that helped her heal, reconnect, and rebuild trust with her body. What she found was a sustainable, strength-building approach that supports both physical and emotional resilience.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional workouts may backfire during perimenopause
• How Pilates supports nervous system regulation
• The connection between stress hormones and overtraining
• How to build strength without increasing cortisol
• Why intentional movement improves metabolism and longevity

If you’re feeling frustrated that what used to work no longer does, this episode will help you understand how to move in a way that supports your hormones — not fights them.
