On today's episode we talk about Nature's Ozempic.

There are a lot of women talking GLP-1's for weight loss, and a lot also having negative side effects.

I have always, and will always promote food and lifestyle before resorting to taking medications.

In today's episode we discuss how certain foods can naturally promote GLP-1 release.  This naturally helps to balance blood sugar and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

We talk about 2 foods in particular to help to promote natural GLP-1 release and how much to aim for each day.

In today's episode we talk about a hot topic - alcohol and weight loss in perimenopause and menopause.

If you're a woman over 40, you may have already noticed that your body isn't reacting to alcohol the way it used to - maybe you can't drink as much as you used to, it may be giving you headaches, hangovers are worse or maybe it's ruining your sleep.

In today's episode we talk specifically about how it affects weight loss - and if you are on a weight loss journey over 40 and do still want to have alcohol as part of your lifestyle, we discuss how to best do that.

I also share with you a bit of my personal story of how I broke up with alcohol 3.5 years ago on my 48th birthday.  Alcohol was a very regular part of my lifestyle for many years, and I was finally able to eliminate it completely. I share with you why I quit drinking and exactly how I did it.

Why Your Food Cravings Feel Out of Control in Perimenopause and Menopause and How to Take Your Power Back.

Weight loss at this age can feel like fighting an uphill battle, and that weight gain is inevitable - but that's simply not true.  

Our hormones are in fact changing, and it just takes a simple understanding of what's happening and how to work with them - not against them.

Many of the things we did in our 20's and 30's to lose weight are no longer working - things like intermittent fasting, eliminating carbs or strict calorie counting - this is why it feels frustrating - the truth is - these things can actually backfire and work against us at this age.

In today's episode we get into WHY our cravings intensify in perimenopause and menopause and then reveal 5 simple strategies you can use starting today to help you reduce or even eliminate the food cravings that are holding you back.

As someone who lost and gained the same 50 lbs over and over for years I can attest to this.

If you're a woman over 40 and struggling to lose weight, and you may even be gaining weight even though you haven't changed anything in your diet and lifestyle, this is for you.

Most women will turn to either calorie counting, eliminating carbs or intermittent fasting to lose weight - but those types of diets not only don't effectively work at this age - they can backfire.

Food is more than simply a calorie count - food acts as a messenger in our body.
Especially with our changing hormones going into perimenopause, to effectively lose weight without having to struggle through food cravings and willpower we CAN learn to work WITH our body and not against it.

Some foods affect our body in a positive way and others affect it in a negative way.
Here i break it down for you simply on how gut health impacts weight loss as a woman over 40 - and some foods to avoid, and those to add in to have it work in your favour.

I do episodes like this every week, so be sure to follow this podcast to be notified the next time an episode is released.
