When did weight loss become a full-time job?!!!

Here’s what no one ever bothered to tell you about weight loss and perimenopause:

Gaining weight in midlife isn’t just about calories. It’s driven by multiple hormonal and biological shifts that change how our bodies store fat, use fuel, and slow down our metabolism.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the four biggest metabolism mistakes you’re probably making in perimenopause—and how to start to fix them.

In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly Googled questions, including:

✅ Why am I gaining weight even though I haven’t changed anything?

✅ Is weight gain during perimenopause hormonal?

✅ Why is it harder to lose weight after 40?

✅ I’m eating less—so why am I still gaining weight?

✅ Why am I not losing weight with intermittent fasting?

✅ How does muscle loss affect metabolism in women?

✅ How often should women over 40 eat to lose weight?

✅ What’s the best exercise for weight loss after 40?

✅ I’m eating more protein—so why is my metabolism still slow?

If your metabolism feels slower than your family volunteering to clean the dishes after Christmas dinner, this episode’s for you.
