    Because if you don’t make a plan, it’s really just a wish. In this episode I walk you through my simple 3-part approach to set realistic goals, gather the right resources, and pair it all with nutrition so you can actually drop a few pounds keep that momentum going all the way through the season.

    I also get honest about expectations, because the gap between what we want and what’s actually possible in four weeks is where most women quit. Not this time!

  • Why You're Not Losing Weight in Perimenopause
    Jun 16 2026

    You're doing all the things to lose weight in perimenopause: eating better, getting your protein in, trying to move more. But the scale? It will not budge. If you've quietly started to wonder "what's the point", this episode is for you.

    I keep hearing the same thing from women in my world. They feel like they're trying everything and nothing is working, so they've started to give in at the barbecue and stopped bothering with workouts. Inside this episode I walk you through the bridge between where you are now, and where you want to be, and why the gap in the middle is driven almost entirely by the way you think.

    We get into the three pillars that decide whether you lose weight in perimenopause: a true calorie deficit, strength training with heavy enough weights, and consistency. Plus, I show you the sneaky thought hiding underneath each one (that is stopping you from actually losing weight).

    If you feel like you're on an island with your health while the rest of your family eats however they want, this episode is for you.

    What You'll Learn

    • Why a 1,200 calorie diet keeps you stuck, and how much you should be eating instead
    • The macro balance that actually protects your muscle and your energy in midlife
    • Why 5 and 8 pound dumbbells feel heavy when they really aren't, and how to talk your brain into lifting more
    • How more muscle quietly buys you food flexibility through your metabolic rate
    • Why the need to belong wrecks your consistency without you ever noticing

  • What Lifestyle Medicine Means For Perimenopause
    Jun 9 2026

    Ever heard the term “lifestyle medicine”? You probably assume (like I did) that it means to eat well, move your body, and get some sleep. But I actually looked into it and realized there was more to it than I thought.

    In this episode, I am breaking down the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, plus the seventh one that nobody else has added before.

    Lifestyle medicine is a root-cause approach to your health, built to treat, prevent, and sometimes even reverse chronic conditions, which makes it essential in perimenopause and menopause.

    I am walking through all six pillars, why each one hits harder once your estrogen starts to drop, the seventh pillar I refuse to leave off, and exactly where to start so you do not feel overwhelmed.

    If you are leaning on HRT or a GLP-1 and quietly wondering whether that is enough on its own, this one is for you.

    What You’ll Learn

    - What lifestyle medicine actually is, and why it is so much more than eating well and working out
    - The six pillars that matter most in perimenopause and menopause, and the real reason each one hits harder once estrogen drops
    - The seventh pillar nobody puts on the official list, and why it is the one that makes everything else stick
    - Why your HRT, GLP-1, and supplements can help, but were never built to do this job alone
    - How to start first, so you stop trying to fix everything at once and actually see results
