If your body feels like it’s breaking all the old weight-loss rules since hitting 40, you’re not imagining it.

In this first episode of the Midlife Weight Loss Blueprint Mini-Series, LaDawn breaks down the physical habits that help your body work with you, not against you, during perimenopause and menopause.

From blood-sugar balance and protein timing to meal prep and hydration, you’ll learn the simple yet powerful shifts that support your hormones, metabolism, and energy. These are the tactical habits that form the foundation for lasting weight loss—no crash diets or extremes required.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why focusing on body re-composition (not just weight loss) changes everything
  • How to build balanced meals that stabilize blood sugar and cravings
  • Why protein at every meal is non-negotiable for midlife metabolism
  • How to reset your digestion and energy with gentle circadian-rhythm fasting
  • The simplest way to stay hydrated and support fat metabolism
  • And how to put it all together into a doable daily rhythm

Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss Part 2 of this empowering series!  Also, stay tuned for the upcoming Menopause Nutrition Audit Launch—your personalized roadmap to balanced nutrition during midlife!
