Fit and Fabulous at Forty and Beyond with Dr Orlena

The Inflammation-Weight Connection Every Menopausal Woman Needs to Know


Listen Later

Feeling stuck despite doing "all the right things"? You're not imagining it.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Orlena reveals why midlife weight loss feels impossible—and it's not about willpower. The culprit? Chronic inflammation that creates self-perpetuating cycles in your body during perimenopause.

Discover:

  • Why small steps work better than dramatic overhauls - Learn how Dr. Orlena went from exhausted, overwhelmed mom to thriving wellness enthusiast by starting with just one hour of yoga per week, then layering sustainable changes over time.
  • The "fat begets fat" cycle explained - Understand how dropping estrogen triggers inflammation, which increases abdominal fat, disrupts insulin sensitivity, sabotages sleep, and raises stress levels—each factor amplifying the others in a frustrating feedback loop.
  • Your practical four-pillar solution - Get actionable strategies for nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management that address the root cause of inflammation. No perfection required—just consistent 8/10 effort that actually works.

If you're tired of feeling like your body is working against you, this episode offers both the "why" behind your struggles and the "how" to finally break free. Plus, Dr. Orlena shares details about her Micro Magic Healthy Habits workshop for anyone ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start taking effective action.

Your transformation doesn't require perfection—just the right approach.
