    You've probably lost weight before. The real challenge is keeping it off.

    In this episode, Stephanie Crassweller shares a private client call she has never released before on what it takes to maintain weight loss long term. She covers what to do and what not to do in both your fat loss phase and your maintenance phase, so you don't have to spend the rest of your life dieting.


    You'll learn:

    • Why maintenance doesn't happen by accident, and why we drift by default
    • Why maintenance is a skill, not a reward
    • How sleep, stress, nutrition, movement and meal timing change after fat loss
    • How to ease out of tracking instead of stopping cold turkey
    • Why a 3 to 5 pound window is normal
    • The signals to watch: energy, sleep, digestion, how your clothes fit and your mood
    • How to catch the drift early and reset fast
    • Why maintenance is where your new identity becomes real

    The scale jumped four pounds overnight. Or you've gained twenty pounds in six months and can't point to a single thing you changed. In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie breaks down the difference between inflammation weight and fat gain in perimenopause and postmenopause, and why treating one like the other makes both worse.



    You'll learn:

    → How to tell if your weight gain is inflammation and water or true fat, using your 7-day average and a simple two-week test

    → How aldosterone, dropping progesterone, and swinging estrogen throw off your water balance in perimenopause

    → Why low-carb days and big-carb days make the scale bounce

    → Where 20 pounds in 6 months comes from: sleep, estrogen loss, insulin resistance, and moving less without noticing

    → How cortisol connects both kinds of weight gain, and why eating less and training harder backfires

    → The labs to ask for: fasting insulin, HbA1c, a full thyroid panel, progesterone, and Dutch hormone testing

    → Why drinking more water and cutting salt often doesn't fix the puffiness

    → The order to fix it in, so your body gets good at burning calories again

    Heavy periods, sore breasts, afternoon bloating, and weight settling on your hips, thighs and belly, even though you're eating less and working out more? In this episode, Stephanie Crassweller, founder of VitalityOET, explains what estrogen dominance really is (hint: it's a ratio), why it shows up in perimenopause, and why the usual weight loss advice can make it worse.



    She covers how your liver breaks down and packages estrogen, how your gut bacteria can send estrogen right back into your blood, how belly fat and insulin resistance keep making more estrogen, and the exact steps to start losing weight with estrogen dominance, including the tests to ask for, the foods and fiber targets, and how to train.

    Walking every day, eating light, skipping dairy, and training hard? Some of the habits that look the healthiest may be raising your risk of osteoporosis, especially in perimenopause and menopause.


    In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie Crassweller, founder of VitalityOET, explains why bone loss speeds up as estrogen drops, why it starts before your last period, and why strong bones matter for your metabolism, muscle, and independence.

    • What osteoporosis, osteopenia, DEXA scans and T-scores mean in plain language
    • How estrogen, cortisol and inflammation affect bone in perimenopause and postmenopause
    • The minimum calories your body needs to keep building bone
    • The strength training study that increased bone density in women over 60

    If you have lost the drive to work out, you are craving sugar constantly, you cannot stop scrolling, and you do not feel like yourself — there is one brain chemical behind all of it: dopamine.



    In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie Crassweller breaks down why your brain's entire reward and motivation system changes in perimenopause and menopause — and why estrogen is only half the story. She covers the four ways chronic stress dismantles your dopamine system from the inside out, why the "flat" phase of healing is actually a sign of progress, and the six-step order of operations to rebuild your drive from the ground up.



    What you will learn:

    • How estrogen directly controls dopamine production, receptor density, and signaling

    • Why scrolling, sugar cravings, procrastination, and feeling flat are all the same root problem

    • How chronic stress burns through dopamine, destroys receptors, and jams production through inflammation

    • Why sleep deprivation compounds all of it

    • The cortisol junkie cycle and why high-achievers crash hardest when they start healing

    • The six-step order to resensitize your dopamine system — and why movement comes last

    Your thyroid medication is working. Your TSH is normal. So why is the weight not coming off?



    In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie breaks down why women with hypothyroidism struggle to lose weight — even when their labs look fine. It is not a medication problem. It is a conversion problem. And the low-calorie diet you are using to lose weight may be the thing making it worse.



    She covers the T4 to T3 conversion pathway, why TSH alone misses the real problem, how caloric restriction can suppress active thyroid hormone by up to 50 percent, the liver-gut-thyroid triangle, and the specific order of operations for losing weight with hypothyroidism without crashing your thyroid further.

    You lost the weight. Now what?



    In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie breaks down why most women regain the weight after a diet — and it is not a discipline problem. It is a transition problem. And most diet programs skip the transition entirely.



    She covers the two paths out of a deficit (and how to pick yours), the invisible 600-calorie swing that catches women off guard, why "going back to normal" is the fastest way to regain, and the 100-50-10 Rule for maintaining every habit through every season of life.



    If you have ever lost weight and watched it come back — this is the episode you needed before you started the diet.

    You are sleeping 7–8 hours a night and still waking up exhausted, puffy, and hungry. You have tried the supplements, the sleep hygiene tips, the weighted blanket. But nothing is changing.



    That is because sleep is not just rest — it is when your body does its most critical metabolic work. And three hormones could be quietly sabotaging that work every single night.



    In this episode, I break down:

    • Why elevated cortisol can wake you at 2 AM and increase belly fat storage
    • What insulin is supposed to do overnight — and why cutting carbs is not the fix
    • How growth hormone drives fat metabolism, muscle repair, and recovery during deep sleep
    • Why declining estrogen and progesterone in perimenopause and menopause compound all three
    • The exact order of operations to fix your overnight recovery — before you touch your macros



    If you are doing everything right and your body is still not responding, the question is not how many hours you are sleeping. The question is what your body is actually able to accomplish during those hours.

    Everyone talks about high cortisol and belly fat. But what happens when cortisol goes the other direction — when your stress system has been running so hard, for so long, that it shuts down? That is HPA axis dysfunction. And the fat loss rules change completely.



    In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie Crassweller explains why low cortisol makes weight loss nearly impossible — and why the standard advice to eat less and train harder is the worst thing you can do in this state. From blood sugar crashes your body cannot rescue, to workouts that destroy you instead of building you, to a fat mobilization system that cannot access your own stored energy — this episode connects the dots on why you are doing everything right and gaining weight.



    In this episode:

    • How the HPA axis goes from high cortisol to low cortisol — and why it is a protective mechanism, not a failure

    • Why low cortisol wrecks your blood sugar and creates the crash-crave-crash cycle

    • Why intense exercise makes HPA axis dysfunction worse — and what to do instead

    • How low cortisol blocks fat mobilization and forces your body to burn muscle for fuel

    • The five-step order of operations to rebuild before you attempt fat loss

    • Why perimenopause and menopause make women especially vulnerable to this pattern
