Do the holidays ever bring up thoughts like, “Why try to stay on plan?” or “I can eat whatever I want today — I’ll figure it out later”? If so, you’re in good company, friend. And this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast is going to give you the tools to walk into the holiday table feeling confident instead of conflicted. Today, we’re talking about the real reason midlife women feel so torn during holiday meals — and why it has far more to do with mindset than it does with the food on your plate. I’ll show you the simple shift I teach my clients that changes...

Does December always feel like the month where your workouts quietly slide into “I’ll start again in January”? You’re not alone, friend — and it’s exactly why I’m popping in with this quick fitness bonus episode. Here’s the truth: movement really is medicine for a midlife body. But when life gets full (and it always does this time of year), even the most determined woman ends up pushing her workouts to “later.” And you and I both know… later usually becomes next year. That’s why I created 31 Days of Fitmas — a full month of simple, strategic workouts built for your...

If you’ve been eating your protein, doing your workouts, and still wondering why your belly fat won’t budge or your muscles aren’t showing up… this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m breaking down the secret muscle-building amino acid that every midlife woman needs to finally start losing weight and building strength after 40 — leucine. Most women in menopause don’t realize that their hormones have changed the rules of metabolism. The same meals that once helped you stay lean in your 30s just don’t trigger muscle growth anymore. That’s because your body now needs a...
