Ep. 105 | Why "Eat Less, Move More" Doesn't Work for Women in Menopause

Oct 20

If you've been doing everything "right"—eating clean, working out, tracking macros—and still feel stuck, exhausted, or frustrated with your body, you're not failing.

You've been misled.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why the "eat less, move more" advice doesn't work for women in menopause—and how decades of outdated, one-size-fits-all guidance have set women up to fail.

The Problem Isn't You—It's the Advice

Traditional weight-loss strategies were never designed for women in perimenopause and menopause. They ignore what's actually happening hormonally, metabolically, and neurologically during this transition.
