In this episode of The Life Transformer Q&A, Tara answers questions on staying on track during busy adjustment periods, preserving strength and hitting protein when time is tight, sleep and fatigue around perimenopause, buying a walking pad, returning to exercise after leg surgery, and stopping nighttime binging in the darker months. She shares simple "lower the bar" strength moves, high‑protein food examples, basic supplement tips (vitamin D, omega‑3, creatine), practical walking‑pad criteria (portability, weight, price, Tara recommends the DearRun model she tested), bedtime wind‑down strategies, and firm but compassionate advice on discipline and habit consistency to avoid seasonal weight creep.
