Listen to the Reverse Dieting Episode (EP 168) Here:

You’re eating “clean.”

You’re cutting carbs.

You’re doing all the “right” things…

And you still feel exhausted.

Here’s the truth:

It’s not just age.

It’s not just hormones.

It’s that your body has stopped turning food into energy—and started storing it as fat.

😴 Low energy is one of the most common complaints in perimenopause and menopause.

But 90% of the time? It comes down ...

You’re eating cleaner than ever…

No sugar. No junk. You’re cooking 90% of your meals from scratch — because you care about your health.

And yet…

The scale won’t budge.

Your jeans still feel tight.

The bloating, the exhaustion, the cravings? Still there.

And now you’re left wondering:

“What more can I do?”

“Why isn’t this working?”

Here’s the truth no one is telling you:

👉 Clean eating does not automatically equal fat loss — especial...

You’ve cut the calories. You’ve tried the workouts.

You’ve pushed through exhaustion and cravings—and still, the weight won’t budge.

It’s not your fault.

It’s not your discipline.

And it’s not just age.

⚠️ The truth?

Most women over 40 are stuck in fat-storing mode—not because they’re doing it wrong, but because their hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, and stress signals are screaming for support. And your lab work is the roadmap you&#...

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You’ve been eating less.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Working out more.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cutting carbs, skipping snacks, pushing harder.

⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And your body?

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Still tired. Still inflamed. Still storing everything you eat.

⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sound familiar?

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💥 The truth is, if your body doesn’t feel safe…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It won’t burn fat.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It will store it.

⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠That’s where reverse dieting comes in—but most women are doing it wrong.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In this episode, I...

Are you doing “everything right”… but the scale still won’t budge?

You're not crazy—and you're definitely not lazy. Your body might just be stuck in fat-storing mode... and no amount of willpower, cardio, or calorie-cutting will fix it.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

🔥 The 6 hidden fat-storage triggers most coaches completely overlook

🧠 Why menopause makes weight loss so much harder—and what to do about it

➡️ The 8 exact steps to...

Are you stuck in a loop of negative thinking, self-doubt, or frustration with your health journey? You might be unknowingly binge-watching the wrong mental programming—and your brain is queuing up more of the same.

In this episode, we dive into a powerful mindset shift using a relatable analogy: Netflix.

Just like your favorite streaming service recommends shows based on what you’ve watched, your brain serves up thoughts based on wha...

Thinking about starting HRT—or already on it but not seeing results?

Here’s the truth: HRT isn’t a magic fix if your body isn’t ready.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 things you need to do BEFORE starting hormone therapy so it actually works with your body—not against it.

We’ll cover gut health, liver detox, blood sugar, stress, and the key labs your doctor probably isn’t running.

If you want HRT to work the wa...

Going on HRT hoping it would be the answer to everything?

Better sleep, better moods, less brain fog, and finally some weight loss. But instead? You felt worse.

More bloated. More anxious. More confused.

And yes… More weight gain.

In this episode, I’m sharing why things went wrong, what I wish women knew before starting, and why so many women feel worse on hormone therapy when it’s supposed to help.

If you’re on HRT and not feeling bett...

Ever wondered if sitting in a sauna could actually help you burn fat—especially during perimenopause or menopause?

You're not alone.

In this episode, we’re diving into the surprising science behind how saunas can support fat loss especially in women over 40—and why it’s so much more than just sweating out water weight. 👙💦

We'll unpack how sauna use impacts insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial health, stress hormones, i...

What if the decisions you’re avoiding today are shaping the future you’ll regret tomorrow?

In this episode, we get real about aging, identity, and the quiet danger of indecision. One in three women ends up in a nursing home. The average life expectancy for women is 81. For many of us, we’re already halfway there—yet we’re still letting fear, comfort, and passivity decide for us.

This isn’t about fear-mongering—it’s about waking up. B...

Ever step on the scale, see a lower number… and then watch it bounce back the next day like it never happened?

You’re not alone—and you’re not failing.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 12 sneaky reasons your weight can spike day-to-day—even when you’re doing everything “right.”

We’ll talk about:

✅ Why water retention, hormones, and sodium are behind most of the madness

✅ How perimenopause magnifies these ups and downs

✅ The mind...

Does alcohol really make that big a difference when it comes to fat loss after 40?

In this episode, we’re pull...

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling unheard, unseen, or told everything was 'normal'—even though you knew something was off? You’re not alone.

In this powerful episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on medical gaslighting—the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without real answers when it comes to their health.

We also break down what evidence-based ...

Ever feel frozen by your to-do list, paralyzed by pressure, or like you “should” be able to handle more but just... can’t?

You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re being stretched—and that’s not a bad thing.

In this episode, we’ll reframe overwhelm as a sign of capacity expansion, not collapse. I’ll walk you through 5 powerful mindset and nervous system strategies to shift from spiraling into stillness, from chaos into clarity—wi...
