The Habit Healers

Menopause Body-Snatched Me. So I Fought Back.


Listen Later

In this episode, I share the transformative journey of navigating menopause—and the effects on my body I never saw coming. Shortly after setting a personal record at the Boston Half Marathon, my world flipped. I went from feeling unstoppable to battling joint pain and brain fog while wrestling with fluctuating cholesterol levels. It wasn’t just hot flashes or mood swings; the hormonal changes ran much deeper.

Through diligent research and a deep dive into the science, I discovered how declining estrogen reshapes metabolism and overall health. You’ll hear how this shift can increase fat storage and change how your body processes energy—why I now think of menopause as a biological earthquake. Join me for a candid, empowering conversation designed to help you understand what’s happening and take control of your health through this major life transition.
