You were told progesterone would help you sleep, calm your anxiety, and support your hormones through perimenopause and menopause. So why do you feel WORSE?
In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie Crassweller breaks down the two metabolic pathways your body sends progesterone down — the alpha pathway (which produces the calming neurosteroid allopregnanolone) and the beta pathway (which produces inactive metabolites that do nothing for your brain, mood, or sleep). She explains why standard blood work cannot see which pathway your body favors, why the DUTCH test is the missing piece, and what inflammation, cortisol, thyroid, insulin resistance, and liver congestion have to do with whether progesterone helps you or hurts you.
If you started progesterone and feel worse — this episode is for you.
What you'll learn:
👉 The alpha (5-alpha reductase) and beta (5-beta reductase) progesterone metabolism pathways
👉 What allopregnanolone is and why it determines whether progesterone calms you or causes anxiety
👉 The GABA paradox — why too much of the "calming" molecule can flip to panic
👉 Why serum progesterone blood work is blind to metabolic pathway preference
👉 How the DUTCH test reveals your alpha-to-beta pregnanediol ratio
👉 The five root causes that drive the wrong pathway: inflammation, cortisol, thyroid, insulin resistance, liver
👉 The exact order to fix before touching your HRT dose

➤ When More Protein Makes You Fat In Menopause (Gluconeogenesis) | MMP Ep. 301: https://youtu.be/WqmzEHghfGQ
➤ High Insulin + Blood Sugar is NOT a Carb Problem in Menopause | MMP Ep. 305: https://youtu.be/YIkJ27Vtfdc
The carnivore diet can feel like a miracle - joints stop aching, the bloat disappears, the brain fog lifts. So why does the weight come roaring back, often on a diet with almost no sugar in it? In this episode, Stephanie breaks down the real mechanism behind why an all-meat diet works short-term and backfires long-term - especially for women in perimenopause and menopause.
You’ll learn when carnivore is actually the right tool (and it genuinely is, for a season), why it should never be a permanent way of eating, and the mechanism almost nobody explains: gluconeogenesis - how your body turns your steak, and even your own muscle, into the exact sugar you were trying to avoid. Stephanie connects the dots between adaptive insulin resistance, low thyroid T3, rising cortisol, a starved gut microbiome, and stalled estrogen clearance - and gives you the precise five-step order to walk it back without losing what carnivore gave you.
If you’ve been all-in on carnivore for autoimmune symptoms and can’t figure out why your fat loss stalled, your hair is thinning, and your morning blood sugar is climbing - this one’s for you.

Trying to maintain your weight, let alone lose weight, in the summer can be incredibly challenging. The issue is that women try to use the same strategies they use in the fall and winter for summer, and it won't work because your environment is drastically different. I am going to cover the8-Step Summer System you build once and run every single year — so you stop being reactive and stop gaining it back each fall.
In this episode:
➤ Why summer is an environment problem, not a discipline problem
➤ The three problems that make fat loss feel impossible in the summer
➤ The eight-step summer system

➤ Cortisol + Inflammation Grocery List: https://www.vitalityoet.com/cortisol-grocerylist
Inflammation is the quiet brake on your fat loss — and some of the most powerful ways to take that brake off are sitting in the produce section. In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie gives you the exact polyphenol and antioxidant foods to build your plate around, explains why getting them from food beats every supplement on the shelf, and names the five biggest inflammation drivers in perimenopause and menopause you have to turn down so those foods can finally do their job.
You will learn why lowering inflammation releases the fat-loss brake, the top polyphenol and antioxidant foods to eat, and why whole food wins every time — the fibre, the blood sugar control, the fullness, and the gut microbiome support a capsule simply cannot give you. Then Stephanie breaks down the top 5 inflammation drivers in this season and exactly how to counteract each one.
If you are a woman in perimenopause or menopause who wants to lower inflammation, feel less puffy and stiff, and finally get fat loss moving again, this one is for you.
In this episode:
➤ Why lowering inflammation is one of the fastest ways to release the fat-loss brake
➤ The top polyphenol and antioxidant foods — berries, pomegranate, olive oil, greens, green tea, cacao, herbs & spices
➤ Why food beats supplements every time: fibre, blood sugar control, fullness, and gut microbiome support
➤ The top 5 inflammation drivers in peri and post-menopause — and how to turn each one down
➤ The order that turns “lower inflammation” into “accelerate fat loss”

You eat well, you take your vitamins, and you’re still running on empty — and the scale won’t move. In this episode, Stephanie breaks down what B vitamins are really doing inside your body. They don’t hand you energy; they’re the crew that turns the food you’re already eating into energy your body can burn. When they’re depleted, you feel exhausted and your body gets bad at burning calories — the same problem wearing two faces. And in perimenopause and menopause, that crew gets depleted faster than you can replace it.
You’ll learn:

👉 DUTCH test info page: https://vitalityoet.lovable.app/
Your anxiety, your severe PMS, your flat mood in perimenopause — there is a gene that may be running all of it. In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie Crassweller breaks down the COMT gene (catechol-O-methyltransferase) — one of the most clinically significant genetic factors for women's hormonal health, and one almost nobody is talking about.
You'll learn: what COMT does in the body, why its variants — Slow, Intermediate, and Fast — produce completely opposite symptoms, how estrogen directly modulates COMT activity across the cycle and into perimenopause, and what targeted nutritional and lifestyle support looks like for each type. Includes a self-identification checklist, DUTCH test guidance, and practical protocols you can start today.

If cardio used to melt fat and now it seems to be doing the opposite, this episode explains exactly why.
In perimenopause and postmenopause, declining estrogen changes how your body fuels exercise, so the old formula of eating less and moving more quietly burns your muscle instead of your fat and leaves you softer, more bloated, and more tired. You'll learn precisely what to eat, how much, and when, so you can keep doing the cardio you love while protecting your muscle, your metabolism, and your energy.
You'll also learn why fasted and low carb cardio backfires after 40, how much protein you actually need now, the three fueling windows around every workout, and the recovery piece that quietly makes or breaks your results.

You did everything “clean.” Your hormones are still a mess. Here's why.
You bought the BPA-free bottle. You switched to the clean deodorant. So why are you still bloated, foggy, gaining weight, and feeling like your body stopped listening? In this episode, Stephanie breaks down endocrine disruptors — the chemicals in plastics, fragrance, and packaging that mimic and scramble your hormones — and why “BPA-free” was never the same as hormone-safe. You'll learn the one mechanism that explains how a chemical in a container becomes belly fat and brain fog, why this hits so much harder once estrogen starts leaving in perimenopause, and the exact order to lower your load — without throwing out everything you own.
You will learn:
👉 What an endocrine disruptor actually is — the “counterfeit key” that slides into your hormone locks
👉 Why “BPA-free” plastics can carry a near-identical estrogen-mimicking cousin chemical
👉 The thyroid + fat-tissue double hit that makes peri and postmenopause symptoms worse
👉 The symptoms you've been blaming on yourself — fog, bloat, stubborn weight, mood, cycle chaos
👉 Where these chemicals actually hide: heated plastic, cutting boards, non-stick pans, fragrance, makeup, receipts, and cans
👉 Why your liver is the exit route — and the research showing levels can drop in just days
👉 The exact 6-step order to lower your load, ending with the one nutrition move that clears it
This is not about more discipline. It is about turning down the static — and fueling the system that clears it. Make your body good at burning calories again.
This episode is educational and not a substitute for individual medical advice. The mechanisms described are well established in laboratory and animal research; much of the human evidence is associational and still evolving. Talk to your provider before making changes, especially if you manage a medical condition.

If you are crushing daily HIIT classes, leaving drenched, and watching the scale go the wrong way — this episode is going to change how you train. Stephanie breaks down the real difference between High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Sprint Interval Training (SIT), and the truth nobody tells you: both can be powerful fat-loss tools in peri and postmenopause — but only if you do the right things first. Skip the prerequisites and the exact same workout becomes the reason your body holds onto fat.

We break down what your gallbladder actually does, why bile runs far more of your body than fat digestion alone, what truly changes after removal, and why women in perimenopause are most at risk — plus the exact order to support your digestion, hormones, and fat loss starting this week.
You will learn:
👉 What your gallbladder really does — and why “concentrated, on-demand” bile is the whole point
👉 Why bile is a signaling system for your fat, fat-soluble vitamins, gut microbiome, cholesterol, and hormones
👉 What changes after gallbladder removal — and the post-cholecystectomy symptoms nobody warns you about
👉 Why estrogen makes women far more prone to gallstones — and why crash diets and low-fat eating backfire
👉 8 ways to support bile, vitamins, and fat loss — with or without a gallbladder
