Ep. 118 | Perimenopause Weight Loss Truths with Terry Tateossian

This week I'm joined by Terry Tateossian, and this is one of the most important conversations I've had on hormones, weight, and midlife identity. Terry spent ten years chasing every diet trend before she finally understood what her body actually needed in perimenopause, and she lost over eighty pounds by doing the opposite of everything she'd been taught to do.

Terry is an ISSA certified personal trainer, a Harvard Medical School trained lifestyle medicine coach, and an emotional eating specialist, but what makes her story land is how honest she is about the years she spent believing something was wrong with her instead of realizing her hormones had shifted the entire game. We talk about why resistance training matters more than cardio right now, why the supplement aisle might be working against you, and why self-sabotage tends to show up right when you're finally getting somewhere.

Inside this episode:

• The real reason perimenopause makes old diets stop working, and what actually helped Terry keep the weight off for good

• The type of movement Terry calls the holy grail for hormone health, and why walking and yoga alone won't cut it

• What Terry says happens the moment you start seeing real progress, and why that's exactly when most women quit

If you've ever felt like your body stopped listening to you, this conversation will change how you see the next chapter.
