Ep. 103 | Menopause Isn't a Willpower Problem - Here's What's Really Going On

Are you eating less, exercising more, and still not seeing results in menopause? You’ve probably been told it’s a willpower problem — but that advice is flat-out wrong.

In this episode of It’s Not Just Menopause, I break down why “trying harder” backfires in midlife, why your symptoms aren’t a sign of weakness, and what your body actually needs to reset.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why calorie restriction and over-exercising fuel stress hormones instead of fixing them

  • How cortisol, metabolism, and your nervous system collide during menopause

  • The three things that actually help your body release weight and energy (without diets or quick fixes)

  • An introduction to my 3R Framework — Regulate, Rebuild, and Reignite — and how it flips the script on everything you’ve been told about menopause care

✨ And don’t miss this week’s big event: my free online summit, Menopause Reimagined. It’s happening right now and brings together top experts in stress, hormones, and root-cause relief. This is your chance to get clarity and real answers before time runs out.

📣 Just announced: My live workshop “It’s Not Just Hormones” is on October 27. If you’re ready for an actionable plan (not another quick fix), grab your seat here → cindistickle.com/its-not-just-hormones-workshop
