Ep. 129 | Menopause Weight Gain: I Did Everything Right and Only Lost 7 Pounds (Here's What I Was Missing)
Four nutrition certifications. A menopause specialist certification. Strength training five days a week. BHRT. Macros tracked to the gram.
Ten months. Seven pounds.
In this episode, I'm telling you the full story — what happened, what I was missing, what finally worked, and the one thing I wish I'd done 15 years earlier in perimenopause that would've changed everything.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why doing everything "right" still wasn't working — and the root cause I completely overlooked
The simple shifts that finally moved the needle (they're not what you'd expect)
Why I added GLP-1 as part of my functional approach — and what happened within weeks
The honest regret: what I should have done in perimenopause 15 years ago instead of dismissing my symptoms
Why building metabolic strength DURING perimenopause changes everything about how menopause hits you
If I — with all my training and certifications — missed this, how many other women are missing it right now?
This episode is for you if: You're doing all the "right things" and can't figure out why nothing is working. Or you're in perimenopause and think your symptoms are mild enough to ignore. Listen to this first.
