#263 - Perimenopause, weight gain & glucose sensitivity with Kate Deering

In our latest podcast episodes, Kate Deering @katedeeringfitness (my good friend and author of How to Heal Your Metabolism) and I dig into what’s normal for menopause and what’s not. A lot of women we work with are going through perimenopause and are experiencing weight gain and mood swings. And then many women end up going on extremely restrictive diets, which tends to make everything that much worse. So, let’s find out what you can do to navigate this time during every woman’s life. Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.
