Menopause Makeover⎮Belly Fat, Strength Train, Lose Weight, Hormone Imbalance, Meal Planning
If you’re juggling work, kids, aging parents, laundry piles, a grocery bill that makes you gasp… and still wondering why belly fat keeps showing up uninvited — this episode is for you. Not because you’re failing. Not because you’re unmotivated. But because midlife hormones change the rules. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I’m talking honestly about hormone imbalance and belly fat — and why insulin quietly becomes the boss of fat storage in perimenopause and menopause. When stress is high, sleep is short, meals are rushed, and you’re grabbing bites while...

Have you ever eaten off plan or skipped a workout—and immediately felt that familiar wave of guilt, frustration, or “what is wrong with me?” That moment matters more than you think… not because of the food, but because of what happens next in your mindset and your nervous system. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we’re talking about the shame–cortisol cycle that so many midlife women get trapped in after a slip. I’ll walk you through why beating yourself up actually drives cortisol higher, keeps your body stuck in stress mode, and makes belly fat harder to...

If you’re trying to lose weight in midlife but not strength training, this episode may explain exactly why your progress has stalled. So many women in menopause are eating less, walking more, and doing “all the healthy things” — yet belly fat won’t budge, energy is low, and hormone imbalance feels louder than ever. The missing piece isn’t more discipline. It’s muscle. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I break down why strength training is non-negotiable after 40 if you want to lose weight, stabilize blood sugar, and support shifting hormones. We talk about how...

Have you ever been told your labs are “normal”… but your body feels anything but? Low energy, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, and that frustrating sense that something is just off—yet you keep hearing, “Everything looks fine.” In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a huge missing piece for many midlife women: thyroid health. I’m sharing why “normal” thyroid labs don’t always tell the full story—and how an under-supported thyroid can quietly drive hormone imbalance, stalled efforts to lose weight, fatigue, and feeling disconnected from your body. I also walk...

Have you ever said, “I know what to eat… I just can’t stop eating when I’m emotional”? You can feel calm and confident all day—then nighttime hits. You’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed… and suddenly food feels like comfort, relief, or escape. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I’m talking honestly about emotional eating in midlife—and why it often gets louder during perimenopause and menopause. TIt’s not that you’re weak—it’s stress, changing hormones, and a nervous system that’s feeling everything more deeply now.… and why...

Have you been strength training, eating “on plan,” doing all the right things… and yet the scale isn’t moving — or worse, it’s creeping up? If that’s you, this episode is going to bring so much peace to your mind and clarity to your strategy. In today’s Menopause Makeover Podcast, we’re flipping one of the biggest midlife weight loss beliefs on its head. Because after 40, muscle isn’t the reward for losing weight — it’s the requirement.

Are you exhausted from starting over with weight loss… again? If belly fat feels stubborn, your energy is low, and your body just isn’t responding like it used to, this episode is for you. Today, I’m sharing a different approach to losing weight in midlife—one that doesn’t rely on pressure, panic, or fixing yourself. Because for so many women over 40, the real issue isn’t discipline. It’s imbalanced hormones, elevated stress, and a body that needs safety, rhythm, and wisdom in this season. In this episode, we’ll talk about why belly fat is hormonal (not a personal failure),...

We’re talking about menopause exercise, specifically walking, and why it works differently for midlife women. Not as punishment. Not to “burn off food.” But as a powerful, hormone-supporting tool that actually helps your body lose weight and release belly fat.
