Follow-along workouts might feel motivating. Someone’s there, telling you what to do, keeping you motivated. But here’s the truth: they’re disconnecting you from your body and your strength.
In this episode of 50 Something with Cam Allen, we’ll talk about why chasing someone else’s pace actually keeps you from building strength, balance, and self-trust in midlife.

Learn how to tune in, listen to your energy, and move in a way that actually supports your body in menopause.

Welcome to a brand-new series on The Menopause Method all about biofeedback in menopause: How to listen to your body’s truth instead of chasing what worked years ago.

In this episode, I share the raw story of my hysterectomy and how ignoring my body’s signals became the turning point that showed me why biofeedback matters in midlife. Together, we’ll explore how the 4 bodies, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, all give feedback you can learn to read.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What biofeedback really means in midlife
• Why your body is a barometer of truth
• How the unconscious mind speaks through your body
• The Awesome/Awful Test you can start today
• Why presence matters more than “doing more”

Because healthspan isn’t about how many years you live. It’s about adding life to those years by listening to the signals your body is giving you right now.
