Ep. 86 | Why Cortisol-Not Calories-is Keeping Your Body Stuck in Menopause Survival Mode

Why Cortisol—Not Calories—is Keeping Your Body Stuck in Menopause Survival Mode

If you’ve been cutting carbs, working out harder, and doing everything “right”—but the scale still won’t budge—this episode is for you. In this no-fluff deep dive, Cindi breaks down the real reason weight gain is so common during the menopause transition: cortisol.

You’ll learn:

  • Why cortisol spikes in midlife (even when you think you’re managing stress)

  • How hidden stressors—like overexercising or skipping meals—backfire

  • What your body is really trying to do when it stores fat and drains your energy

  • The exact first steps to shift out of survival mode and finally feel better

Because it’s not about eating less.
It’s about helping your body feel safe again.
