In this episode, Sarah and Meredith discuss the complexities of midlife transitions, focusing on perimenopause and its impact on weight gain and body composition .  They explain the hormonal changes that do occur during this time, how that impacts fat loss and the need for individualized approaches to dieting and fat loss.

Reducing women’s midlife challenges and real life changes to “just move more” completely overlooks the biological, psychological, and environmental shifts that happen during this stage of life. Understanding these changes can help women take control of their health and physique goals without falling into the trap of quick fixes or unrealistic expectations.
