Do you always get stuck at the same number on the scale — no matter how many times you try to lose weight?

In this episode, Nikki breaks down the truth about set point theory, why parts of it are real, why most women misunderstand it, and how the way you’re losing weight may be the very thing causing your plateaus and rebound weight gain.

If you’ve ever lost 10–20 pounds, stalled, rebounded, or believed menopause “locked” your body into a certain weight — this episode will flip that belief on its head. Nikki explains what’s actually happening inside your metabolism, why rushing weight loss backfires, and how women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are breaking past long-held plateaus without starving or living in the gym.

This isn’t about willpower.
It’s about biology, strategy, and patience — and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What “set point” really means — and why it’s not a fixed number
• Why your body defends weight from day one, not just at plateaus
• How rushing weight loss triggers metabolic slowdown, cravings, and stalls
• Why getting stuck at numbers ending in 5s and 10s is often psychological, not physical
• The difference between a true metabolic plateau and self-sabotage
• Why how you lose weight matters more than the diet you choose
• How midlife women are breaking plateaus they thought were impossible

Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end — but the stories we tell ourselves can make it feel that way.

In this solo episode, Nikki lays out the exact conversations she’s no longer willing to have — with friends, clients, or anyone else — because they drain energy, reinforce stuck identities, and keep women outsourcing their power. This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending life is easy. It’s about refusing to stay married to excuses that quietly sabotage your health, your confidence, and your future.

From weight loss and menopause narratives to boundaries, belief systems, and personal agency, this episode is a bold reminder that your body, your energy, and your life respond to the stories you choose to keep telling — or let go of.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired of explaining yourself, or frustrated by conversations that go nowhere, this one will hit home hard — in the best way.

Midlife shouldn’t feel like your body is betraying you — but the hormone chaos of your late 30s, 40s, and 50s can absolutely make it feel that way. In this powerhouse conversation with Dr. Sarah (board-certified in Emergency Medicine + Integrative Medicine), we break down the REAL science behind hormone replacement therapy.

If you’ve ever been dismissed by a provider… told you “don’t need hormones”… or felt too scared to see what your treatment options are — this episode is your reminder: you get to make informed choices about your body. Not your doctor. Not TikTok. YOU.

We walk through real risks, real benefits, and the massive quality-of-life improvements women see when they actually get evidence-based care. Consider this your crash course in navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the messy in-between years with confidence and clarity.

It seems like half the world is on a GLP-1, AKA "the shots".

And everyone has an opinion, a whole lot of speculation, and most of it I just roll my eyes at.

But my take on this class of drugs may actually surprise you.

I'm not here to say you should or shouldn't take this, or any other medication.

Because I am not a doctor.

However, there are pros and cons, and in my opinion, as someone who helps women lose weight for a living...

a sustainability aspect that could be implemented that is being missed by most people taking these.

So, let's dive into the good and the bad, and how I'm personally thinking through this topic.

And, when you're ready to lock in a framework that protects your female metabolism while you lose weight...

The truth about fat loss after 40 that nobody’s talking about.

In this episode, I’m joined by Coach Debbie and our client Heather — who went from stuck, frustrated, and surviving on chicken and broccoli...

to down 2 pant sizes, eating 1,850 calories, and actually loving her life (and food!) again.

We’re diving into what really works for fat loss in menopause — and spoiler: it’s not what you’ve been told.

Heather shares how she stopped obsessing over the scale, healed her metabolism, and found joy and confidence in the process.

→ Why Heather's dieting wasn’t just failing — it was making weight gain worse.

→ How she went from barely losing weight at 1100 calories… to eating 1850 calories and finally seeing results.

→ What finally helped her stop obsessing over the scale — and trust her body again.

→ The unexpected “symptoms” of healing her metabolism: better sleep, fewer mood swings, more confidence.

→ How slow, strategic change is actually speeding up her weight loss.

→ What it looks like to find yourself again in menopause — and how you can do it, too.

→ Why your husband will love our fat loss methods even more than you do. 😂
