EP 297. How To Lose Weight Again When Nothing Is Working


Listen Later

If you're exercising five days a week, eating mindfully, and the scale is barely moving — this episode on weight loss in perimenopause is the one you've been waiting for. I'm breaking down why the strategies that used to work have stopped working, and what your perimenopausal body actually needs right now to release weight again.

In this episode, I'm talking to the woman who is doing everything right and still not seeing results. Not because she's failing, but because she's using a strategy designed for a younger body.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

  • Why "I'm older and this is just how it is" is not acceptance — it's an identity error that's quietly running your health decisions
  • The role progesterone plays in weight loss (and why your doctor probably hasn't tested yours)
  • Why chronic high-intensity exercise without proper recovery may be working against your results
  • The one phrase to write on a Post-it and put on your mirror: Regulate Before You Restrict
  • How dysregulated nervous systems keep your body in fat-storage mode and the simple steps to change that
