53. What Your OB-GYN Isn't Saying About Menopause & Weight Gain


Listen Later

Feeling like your body's working against you in your 40s? You're eating clean, working out harder than ever, and yet… the weight just won't budge. Your energy's low, sleep is off, and your doctor says it's "just hormones" or "normal aging."

But here's the truth: You're not broken—and you don't have to accept that answer.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really happening in perimenopause, why so many women feel dismissed by traditional advice, and how foundational strategies like strength training, blood sugar balance, and stress recovery can completely change the game.

You'll learn:

  • Why "eat less and move more" doesn't work in perimenopause.

  • What your OB-GYN may not be trained to address.

  • The 3 key levers that actually support your hormones: muscle, metabolism, and nervous system care
