Mastering Menopause

In this episode of Mastering Menopause, we’re diving into the game-changing benefits of protein for women in menopause, beyond just building muscle. 

I break down how protein impacts your hormones, boosts skin elasticity, supports healing, preserves lean muscle, and positively shifts your body composition with just a few simple changes.

Protein is a non-negotiable for thriving during menopause. It helps balance hunger hormones, reduce cravings, and keep your metabolism humming. If you’ve ever wondered why you should be eating more protein but weren’t sure how to make it happen, this episode is for you.

I also give a brief update of the Rapid Fat Loss Protocol that I started with 20 or so clients on January 6th, we're on Day 11 and results have been phenomenal!

The #1 Reason Women Struggle With Weight Loss in Menopause, and How to Fix It in 5 Days

If you’ve been struggling to lose weight during menopause, you’re not alone, and I’m here to help. The #1 reason I see women hitting roadblocks is simple: they aren’t eating enough protein. Most women only eat 50–70 grams of protein a day, but by increasing this to the right target, you can:

• Feel less hungry throughout the day.
• Crush cravings and stop late-night snacking.
• Reduce bloating and shrink your belly.

That’s why I created my 5-Day Menopot Meltdown Challenge, starting January 20! This free challenge will teach you how to hit your protein goals with daily coaching and support from me. You’ll get:

• Access to a private Facebook group for accountability.
• Live check-in calls for real-time guidance.
• Recipes, grocery lists, and my Lazy Girl Cooking Guide to make it easy.

By the end of the challenge, you’ll feel in control of your eating, energized, and on your way to achieving your weight loss goals, without feeling hungry or deprived.

Ready to jumpstart your journey? Listen in for all the details and click this link to join us on January 20th.

Glow Up for 2025: Starting with Intention

In this episode, I’m kicking off the new year with exciting news: I’ll be bringing you two episodes a week—every Monday and Thursday—to support you through the stages of menopause and beyond. Today, we’re diving into my plan for 2025, inspired by the word INTENTION.

I’ll share how a podcast I listened to in December https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/699-how-to-have-a-glow-up-featuring-kelly-scott/id1128435380?i=1000679087620 sparked my commitment to a year-long glow-up. From updating my personal style to being intentional with what I consume (both nutritionally and mentally), I’m focusing on aligning my lifestyle with my vision of my future self. I’ll also talk about small but impactful changes I’ve already made, like swapping out plastic for glass containers, questioning impulse buys, and even learning how to shuffle dance!

Plus, I’m kicking off my rapid fat loss protocol today and setting goals to drop body fat back to where I was in November. If you’re ready to step into 2025 feeling confident, aligned, and amazing, this episode is for you!

On Thursday, we’ll dive into the big rock changes that will give you the biggest bang for your effort, and I’ll be sharing an announcement you won’t want to miss if you have weight loss or body composition goals for the new year.

Tune in and let’s glow into 2025 together!

• Lifestyle Overhaul: Both women highlight the power of lifestyle choices—nutrition, strength training, and sleep—on reducing symptoms and improving quality of life during menopause.
• Consistency is Key: Amanda introduces her "auto-regulation" approach to exercise, encouraging women to adjust workouts based on daily energy levels, fostering consistency over intensity.
• A Positive Narrative: They conclude with a focus on reframing menopause as a natural transition rather than a period of doom and gloom, urging listeners to lean into the change and thrive.
