About our Guest:

Evan Transue, FDN-P, started suffering with panic attacks at the age of 5. He had no family history of trauma, and due to his seemingly great life, his panic attacks went misdiagnosed for over 10 years. During this time, he developed other mental health conditions, and eventually turned to substances to numb the pain.

After battling for over 13 years, Evan had what he calls an "aha" moment that saved his life. Soon after, he would find the worlds of biohacking and functional medicine, and those helped him reverse his mental health issues for good.

In this episode, Tina speaks with Natalie Newhart, Mindset Coach & Former Pro CrossFit Athlete and BodyBuilder, about why so many women over 35 struggle with losing weight.

Natalie discusses:

- What happens when we drain our energy.

- The importance of feeling good now.

- How to choose to feel good now.

- The importance of having a mindset plan.

- The vision of a fit body.

- What is conscious fitness?

About our Guest:

Natalie Newhart has spent the last 15 years as an Online Nutrition and Fitness Coach for women over 30 who are tired of making their body goals so difficult to achieve and such a chore to maintain.

A former professional athlete and physique bodybuilder, she’s no stranger to dragging herself through workouts, forcing herself to follow “the plan” regardless of how she feels, and counting every single calorie, step and rep.

This way of being resulted in her in the hospital at the age of 30 and diagnosed with: hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, stress-induced menopause, stress-induced diabetes, and rapidly gaining weight.

She was one of the fittest athletes in the world, and at the same time- one of the sickest. Doctors told her she needed to find a way to not stress if she wanted to gain her health and wellbeing back.

The traditional stress-management approach of walk more, meditate, and take naps failed to create any change, and didn’t serve her body goals either.

It wasn’t until she started to do the internal work on herself did she start to see the changes she was looking for.

For the last 6 years, she’s dedicated herself to mastering her body and mind. She’s trained with some of the world’s best psychologists, neurologists, female fat loss physicians, and even Shaolin monks!

She’s spent the last 15 years helping thousands of women bring an end to their obsessive dieting mindset, compulsive eating behaviors, and neurotic exercise habits by addressing the deep psychological relationship with food and fitness.

Unlike most fitness professionals, she understands that perpetual dieting and forced exercise is a personal issue that goes FAR beyond food, weight, and body goals.

Natalie’s coaching takes an untraditional approach to regaining control with food, rediscovering a love for movement and retraining the way we think about weight loss.

Natalie’s coaching is for those women who are done with being entertained by traditional diet strategies and is serious about making a REAL change - from the inside out. They don’t just want another short term fix- they want to MASTER their relationship with food and exercise.

In this episode, I dive into a topic that affects many women: perimenopause and weight gain.

Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading to menopause, can bring about various changes in a woman's body, including shifts in weight. Here are four ways perimenopause can contribute to weight gain:

Hormonal fluctuations: During perimenopause, hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can fluctuate significantly. These hormonal changes can impact metabolism and lead to weight gain, especially around the abdomen.

Slowing metabolism: As women age, their metabolism tends to slow down naturally. However, during perimenopause, this slowdown can become more pronounced. A slower metabolism means the body burns fewer calories, making it easier to gain weight.

Muscle loss: Perimenopause can also result in muscle loss or a decrease in muscle mass. Since muscles are metabolically active tissues, having less muscle can further contribute to a slower metabolism and increased weight gain.

Insulin resistance: Some women may experience insulin resistance during perimenopause. Insulin is a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. When the body becomes resistant to insulin, it can lead to weight gain, particularly around the midsection.

While weight gain during perimenopause is common, it's important to remember that it's not inevitable. By understanding these factors, you can take proactive steps to manage your weight and maintain overall health.
