If you’re tracking your food but unsure whether to log your protein cooked or raw, this episode is for you. This is a quick, practical breakdown of how I log protein and why it matters, especially if you’re working toward fat loss in menopause. When protein cooks, it loses water and typically shrinks by about 25%. That means if you’re not accounting for that, you could be underestimating your protein and calories. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to calculate it easily plus a l...

In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I’m sharing a huge takeaway from a last minute health and mindset conference I attended in St. George, Utah, hosted by Jimmy Rex. We get into what surprised me most, the speakers who completely blew me away, and why the real theme of the weekend wasn’t just “health hacks,” it was mindset, neuroplasticity, and the power of the story you tell yourself. I also talk candidly about peptides, GLP 1s, and why I’m cautious about how they’re being marketed onlin...

Twenty years ago, I dug Valentine’s Day chocolates out of the trash. And that moment kicked off 15 years of restriction, rules, all-or-nothing dieting, and solid disordered eating patterns that I didn’t even recognize at the time. In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I’m sharing the story of the Valentine’s Day that changed everything — the 1,200 calorie era, the keto obsession, intermittent fasting, marathon training, and the years of believing I just “couldn’t be trusted” around food. I ...

For years, women in their 50s have been told that losing one pound a week is the “smart” and “sustainable” way to lose weight. I believed that too until I started seeing what actually happens in real life. I explain why slow fat loss often kills momentum, how easy it is to unintentionally erase a 500 calorie deficit, and why a properly timed aggressive approach can actually be more sustainable for the right woman. In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I break down why the slow 1 lb a week a...

This episode breaks down how undereating is quietly wrecking the metabolism of women in their 50s.

Instead, her metabolism downshifted, her energy crashed, her sleep worsened, her be...
