Perimenopause & Metabolism: Why Fat Loss Feels Harder + How To Fix It Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever felt like your metabolism is broken? Or maybe you've noticed that as you've gotten older fat loss feels harder? You're not imagining things. But your metabolism isn't broken, it's just adaptive. It changes with your hormones, the amount of muscle you have, your lifestyle, activity, even the way you eat.

In today's episode I'm going to break down what metabolism is, the 4 pieces that make it up, how perimenopause affects each one, and most importantly, what you can do to make your metabolism responsive again.

Diet Or Exercise? Which Is More Important For Fat Loss? Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

I know you've heard people say "weight loss is 80% nutrition, 20% exercise" or something along those lines . And women tell me often that they want to start weight training after they lose some weight. Today I'm going to discuss the roles both diet and exercise play in fat loss, which one you should prioritize and when, and why you need both for results that last.

Did you try to diet this summer, but felt like you were just spinning your wheels? Maybe you tracked great for a week, but then went on vacation. Maybe you said "I'll get back on track Monday"... every single Monday. And now it's September and you're frustrated and feel stuck because nothing really changed.
