Hey there, welcome back to the Make Fit Simple podcast. This is a podcast where together we ditch

the overwhelm and break down health topics into bite-size, doable steps. And today we're tackling

the most annoying alarm clock that you have never set. The one that goes off at 3 a.m. and it is your

wake-up call. Okay, for some people, it could be anywhere from 2 to 4 a.m.

But it's that middle of the night wake-up call. This is actually something that I was experiencing

myself, and it was driving me to the edge of insanity. I'm not even kidding. So I started to

research myself trying to understand it and then combined with the current hormone course I am in, I have learned

why it's happening and more importantly, what you can do about it. So that's what we're going to

talk about today. And honestly, this is something that can happen to anyone at any age. While I am

going to touch on why it's happening for any demographic, I'm also going to touch on why it is happening

for people who are in perimenopause. So this really is an episode for everyone because it's a two-fold

issue of what is going down to make you wake up in the middle of the night. And the worst part

about waking up in the middle night is in these situations, it's incredibly hard to go back

to sleep. And that's also what I'm going to break down today. If you find this episode helpful and you

learn from it, please don't forget to share it with your friends, share it with your social media

accounts. I love to see those. Don't forget to tag me or write a review for the podcast and let me know your

thoughts or any other topics you want me to cover. And before we get into today's episode, if your

goal is building muscle, if your goal is even maintaining muscle as you age, or if your goal is

fat loss, I'm going to highly suggest that you get on an essential amino acids supplement.

So essential amino acids are the amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own.

This is why we call them essential.

We have to ingest them.
