Do you wake up stiff, sore, and moving like the Tin Man until you've been up for an hour? It's not just your age. It has a cause, and my team named it: the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause.

In this episode, I explain why falling estrogen sets off inflammation across your joints, muscles, and tendons, and why that pain hits hardest first thing in the morning. Then I take you through the 10-minute routine I teach my patients. It starts before your feet even touch the floor.

You're not falling apart, and you're not imagining it. Once you understand what's happening inside your body, you can step in front of the pain and start your day moving with ease again.

What we cover:

- Why low estrogen in menopause causes morning joint pain and stiffness.

- How a 10-minute morning routine eases stiff, sore joints.

- How strength training, sleep, and cutting sugar reduce inflammation.

- When joint pain means it's time to see a doctor.
