About this episode

PERIMENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE: IF YOU’RE EATING LESS AND TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ⬇️ If you are in perimenopause or menopause and your body feels different, and your response has been to adjust food or increase output, we need to talk.

It is bloating after meals that never used to bother you. It is working out the same but feeling weaker. It is looking in the mirror and not recognizing who you are anymore. It is feeling like your body is unpredictable. So you try to manage it. You pull back on food. You add more cardio. You tighten structure. You tell yourself you just need to dial it in again. And instead of feeling better, you feel more inflamed, more tired, more frustrated. You feel like you have lost yourself. That is the loop. This episode is about breaking that loop.

Why nervous system stability matters and self-talk more than discipline right…
