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
