79. How to Prioritize Health Over Weight Loss in Midlife with Monique Willingham


Listen Later

Curious about how to feel strong, energized, and confident in midlife without focusing on weight alone? In this episode, I am joined by Monique Willingham to address the real drivers of health, including managing visceral fat, supporting hormonal shifts, and optimizing your well-being through a weight-neutral approach.

Monique Willingham is a certified Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Remedy Green. As a native of Maryland with a passion for wellness and beauty, Monique has dedicated over 15 years to clinical excellence in oncology, surgery, and overall well-being.

Monique’s commitment goes beyond traditional healthcare; she is certified in cosmetic injections and continuously expands her expertise through ongoing education in medical cannabis, infusion-based cellular health, micronutrient therapy, peptide therapy, food as medicine, and therapeutic exercise programs. Her mission is simple yet profound: to offer patients a personalized, holistic journey towards feeling and looking their best, rooted in love and grace.

In this episode:

  • Understanding Visceral Fat, what it is and why it increases during midlife.
  • Understanding how hormones like estrogen and testosterone can lead to changes in fat distribution, particularly around the abdomen, and what steps can help counterbalance these effects.
  • What role stress management, sleep, and mindset play in weight loss and wellbeing.
  • What you can do now to increase your wellness, such as what to eat and ways to move your body.
  • Why shifting the focus from weight loss to muscle maintenance, bone health, and flexibility to ensure mobility and vitality is the best thing you can do for yourself
  • Ways that Sara and Monique help their clients in midlife.
