Mini Mikkipedia - Why the Scale Misleads Women in Midlife


Listen Later

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks why fat loss in midlife never feels as straightforward as it used to — even when your strength is climbing, your shape is changing, and you know you’re doing everything right. She breaks down the hormonal shifts after menopause that make the scale far more chaotic, from cortisol-driven water swings to vasopressin turning you into a temporary camel. Mikki also explores the mindset piece: why new habits feel heavy at the start, why slow progress is still genuine progress, and how to build anchor behaviours that keep you steady when life isn’t. It’s a mix of physiology, reassurance, and practical strategy to help you stay the course without letting one number steal the win.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Why weight loss naturally slows after menopause
• How cortisol + vasopressin create confusing water weight
• What “slow but steady” fat loss really looks like
• The mindset shift that stops overwhelm and all-or-nothing thinking
• Anchor habits to keep you on track through messy weeks
