Ep. 87 | Menopause Metabolism: The Real Reset Your Midlife Body Needs
You're eating clean. Working out. Cutting back on sugar. Doing all the things you're supposed to do.
And your body couldn't care less.
Still bloated. Still exhausted. Still stuck in a body that won't respond no matter how disciplined you are. And you're starting to wonder if something is seriously wrong with you.
Nothing is wrong with you. But midlife requires a completely different kind of reset.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why discipline and restriction stop working during perimenopause and menopause — and why your old playbook is actually backfiring
How stress from "healthy" habits like intense workouts, under-eating, and calorie restriction can keep your body locked in survival mode
The real reason your symptoms won't budge — and why it has nothing to do with effort
What a true midlife reset looks like when you address your hormones, metabolism, and stress response in the right order
The 3-phase approach — Regulate, Rebuild, Reinforce — and why that sequence matters
Your body isn't broken. It's overwhelmed. And when your Response Capacity is maxed out, nothing else you do can get through. That's why the reset doesn't start with food or fitness. It starts with regulation.
This episode is for you if: You're a woman over 40 in perimenopause or menopause who's been white-knuckling her way through clean eating and hard workouts — and has nothing to show for it. You don't need more discipline. You need a new map.
