If I had to lose my menopausal weight all over again — knowing what I know now — this is exactly how I’d do it.

When I hit menopause, I did all the wrong things. I starved myself on 1200 calories, punished myself with hours of cardio, blamed my hormones, and thought I was broken. And maybe you’ve been there too — stuck in the same cycle, frustrated, and ready to give up.

In this episode, I break down the mistakes I made, the turning points that changed everything, and the exact steps I’d take if I had to start over today. This isn’t theory — this is lived experience, combined with what I’ve now taught to hundreds of women over 40 who’ve lost the weight and kept it off.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• The 3 biggest mistakes women make during menopause weight loss (and why they backfire)

• The turning point that helped me reset my metabolism

• The 5 things I’d do differently if I was starting over today

• What actually doesn’t matter (myth busts that’ll free you from stress)

• Why menopause is not the end of your fat loss story — it’s just a shiftIf you’ve been told “it’s just your hormones” or that fat loss after 40 isn’t possible — this episode will give you hope and a roadmap.

Key Takeaways

• Undereating and overexercising are the fastest ways to wreck your metabolism.

• Muscle is your best fat-loss ally after 40.

• Protein, strength training, sleep, and stress management are non-negotiables.

• The clock doesn’t decide your results — consistency does.

• Menopause isn’t a dead end — it’s a new chapter that requires a new strategy.
