Hi friend — today I want to make a case for why counting calories doesn’t work for perimenopause and menopause weight loss… and why a hormonal approach makes so much more sense for what’s really going on in your body right now.

For years, we were told that weight loss was simple math: calories in, calories out. But at midlife, that old formula falls apart. You can eat less, work out more, and still gain weight — and it’s not your fault.

In this episode, I’ll explain how shifting estrogen levels change your insulin response and why that leads to frustrating weight gain even when your habits haven’t changed. I’ll share real stories from women I work with who finally started losing weight again once they began nourishing their bodies instead of restricting.

You’ll learn:
 💡 Why your metabolism hasn’t actually “slowed down” — even if it feels that way
 💡 How to eat in sync with your hormones so you can lose weight without counting or cutting calories
 💡 What to focus on instead: protein, fiber, healthy fats, and meal timing that supports your hormones

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right, but my body just isn’t responding like it used to,” this episode is for you.

It’s time to stop under-eating, stop tracking every bite, and start fueling your body so it can support you through this incredible stage of life. Let’s build a sustainable way to lose weight — for the last time.
