I'm Karen Cerezo and I'm here to make sure nobody gets blindsided the way I was.
I was flabbergasted.
I was a grown woman with over a decade of experience in health and fitness. I had coached hundreds of women. I knew bodies. And when perimenopause hit me, I had absolutely no idea what was happening.
Nobody warned me. Not my doctor. Not my mom. Not a single person in my life raised their hand and said hey, this is coming, here's what to expect, here's how to prepare.
I gained weight I couldn't explain. I hit walls of exhaustion that sleep didn't fix. I moved through brain fog so thick I questioned whether I was losing my mind. And I kept thinking: if I, someone who does this for a living, was this unprepared, what about everyone else?
That question changed everything.
Now I'm the warning nobody gave me.
🎤 Today I speak on stages, lead workshops, and work directly with women to make sure perimenopause and menopause are never again treated like secrets — in our homes, our doctor's offices, or our workplaces.
My TEDx talk, "Why Gen X Women in Menopause Are So Dangerous," explores why midlife women are redefining power, purpose, and possibility — and why the world better catch up. It's the talk that launched a thousand DMs. And it's just the beginning.
Because this isn't just a health conversation. It's a culture conversation. And it belongs in every organization that wants to retain, support, and celebrate the women who are quite literally running the place.
Watch the talk
The fitness background isn't a footnote. It's the foundation.
For over 10 years I've coached women 45+ through the physical side of midlife strength training, nutrition, sleep, stress, and the kind of movement that actually works for a body in hormonal transition.
I bring that same evidence-based, real-world lens to everything I do. When I speak about menopause, I'm not speaking from a textbook. I'm speaking from the gym floor, the coaching sessions, and my own lived experience.
That combination - clinical knowledge, personal story, and a decade of practical coaching - is what makes the conversations I lead actually land.
Let’s make this season one of strength, clarity, and confidence.
