Strength Training for (Peri)Menopause: How Dr. Preeti Jha Created a Sustainable, Soulful Online Business Helping Women 40+ Build Pain-Free Power, Prevent Injury & Age with Confidence

If you’ve ever tried to build an online business and rebuild your health at the same time… you know both require something most women in midlife are short on:

Energy. Alignment. Nervous system capacity.

That’s why this episode of Money Magnet Mama with Dr. Preeti Jha feels so important.

Preeti isn’t just a physical therapist and strength coach for women in perimenopause and menopause — she’s also a business owner navigating the online world with the same intentionality she brings to movement, strength, and healing.

And her story is such a breath of fresh air.

💛 We talk about two big things:

1. How midlife women can strength train safely (and actually feel good doing it)

Preeti breaks down why so many women 40–60 get hurt, overwhelmed, or discouraged when they try to follow generic fitness plans — and how a nervous-system-first approach changes everything.

We unpack:

✔ why injury risk increases in perimenopause

✔ how to lift weights without flaring pain or fatigue

✔ the hormone-strength connection

✔ what “pain-free progressive training” actually looks like

✔ how a calmer nervous system leads to stronger muscles

This is THE episode every midlife woman needs before starting (or restarting) strength training.

2. How Preeti simplified her online business — and stopped trying to do it all

This part of the conversation was so real and so relatable.

Preeti shares how she went from:

❌ trying to post everywhere,

❌ overthinking every offer,

❌ doing endless content, funnels, and “shoulds”

…to focusing on the strategy that actually grows her business without burnout:

✨ simple messaging

✨ a clear customer journey

✨ scalable support (her online programs)

✨ and marketing that feels human, not performative

She’s a perfect example of what happens when a mission-driven entrepreneur stops hustling like everyone else — and finally builds her business her way.
