If you have been told to eat less and move more, but you still do not feel strong or steady in your own body, this episode is for you.
I explain why strength training matters more than cardio or dieting once you hit perimenopause and menopause.
I talk about how muscle mass decline affects your metabolism, your bones, your joints and how well you manage symptoms, not just how you look.
I share why two women can weigh the same but look and feel completely different depending on how much muscle they carry.
I get into what is quietly happening with temperature regulation, sleep and mood as oestrogen and progesterone shift, using a real conversation with a client as an example.
I am honest about my own years of over exercising and under eating in early perimenopause, and what that cost me.
I break down exactly how to start strength training at home with no fancy gym, including bite sized exercises you can do while the kettle boils.
I also explain the golden rule of progression, so your muscles keep getting stronger instead of plateauing.

"Why Getting Stronger Changes Everything in Menopause"

Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted.  I'm Farah Kariamburi, founder of Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution – and in this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools that could completely transform how you eat during menopause. If you've been counting calories, obsessing over numbers, or jumping from one restrictive diet to another with no lasting success – this episode will speak directly to you. Inside, I break down one of the key pillars of our Meno-Fit Methodology: Serving.  And no, this isn’t about how much food to restrict – it’s about how you nourish your body using a simple yet game-changing strategy we call The HAND Method.  This method has helped hundreds of women ditch diet culture for good, escape calorie-counting, and finally build a rhythm around food that fits real life – holidays, eating out, and family meals included. I share why most healthy diets don’t work for menopausal women (even if you think you’re eating “clean”), how under-eating is keeping you stuck, and why carbs, fats, and protein all need to be on your plate – in the right proportions – to unlock fat loss, energy, and hormonal balance. You'll also hear why fruit and nuts aren’t the protein sources you think they are, how fibre helps manage oestrogen, and why so many women are unknowingly triggering cortisol spikes by skipping meals or under-fuelling their workouts. I go deeper into supplement myths, the real order you should approach your nutrition and hormones, and how to stop wasting money on pills when your foundations aren’t even in place. If you’ve ever said, “I barely eat and I’m still gaining weight,” or “I’m doing everything right but nothing is shifting” – this episode will finally make it all click. Menopause isn’t the end – it’s the reset. It's your chance to break free from toxic dieting and start fuelling for strength, confidence, and longevity. Click play and learn how to eat in a way that finally works with your hormones, not against them.

Inside you will find the 5 to Thrive foundations covering nutrition, strength, sleep, hydration and stress, the 21 Day Metabolic Reset to build momentum fast, and live Q&A sessions with me.

Here’s Why You’re Struggling to Lose Weight in Menopause |#0073 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted.  In this powerful episode, I’m getting real about what it truly means to get in shape during menopause – and spoiler alert – it has very little to do with what you see in the mirror. I talk you through how we’ve helped over 500 women completely transform their lives, not just their bodies.  Yes, weight loss happens, but the real win?  Women becoming stronger, bolder, more confident versions of themselves – showing up in their careers, relationships, and family life like never before. You’ll hear why chasing your 20s figure isn’t the goal – and how to find a version of strength and confidence that actually fits your midlife body and energy.  I open up about what confidence really looks like in menopause – and no, it’s not from a quick fix or filtered photos.  It’s from keeping the promises you make to yourself.  Showing up for your workouts.  Prioritising your sleep.  Saying yes to you, even when life’s throwing curveballs. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start on Monday” or “I know what to do but I just don’t do it,” this episode will speak to your soul.  I guide you through how to audit your current habits with honesty, and how to use my Five to Thrive framework – strength training, nutrition, sleep, stress recovery, and hydration – to rebuild the real confidence that lasts. This isn’t about being perfect.  It’s about progress, consistency, and finally trusting yourself again. I also share the truth about why wine, chocolate, and joy don’t need to be cut out to thrive – and why our approach inside the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method allows you to enjoy your life while reclaiming your health. If you’re ready to stop surviving menopause and start truly thriving – this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to build the chapter of your life that feels strong, energised, and full of confidence.  Click play now – this could be the episode that finally flips the switch for you.
