For every midlife woman who has built a solid weight loss plan, only to watch it fall apart the minute life got chaotic -- this episode is for you!

You know how it feels...you quit, then feel like you have to start over from scratch. And during this time of year it can feel like you're getting a fresh start, but life doesn't really slow down when the kids go back to school. It just looks different.

In this episode, I'm digging into something that most women skip when they're building a weight loss plan: the backup plan. Because a plan that only works under perfect conditions isn't really a plan. I walk through why our brains build plans around the best case scenario, why that sets us up to spiral when something goes wrong, and what to actually do about it so you stay consistent on your weight loss and health journey no matter what life throws at you.

I'm also sharing a personal story from this summer involving a cyclospora outbreak, two of my go-to foods, and a very rude reminder that you cannot plan for everything. Plus, I'm talking about one of my clients, Cathy, who has been in one of those seasons where things just kept coming, one after another, and what staying in the game looked like for her.

Inside This Episode

- Why your brain builds plans around perfect conditions (and how that's actually working against you)
- The one thought pattern that causes most women to quit when their plan gets derailed

If you're trying to lose weight in your 40s and you can't make it to lunch without grabbing a snack, or you hit a wall of exhaustion every morning around 10:30, your breakfast is the reason.

Not your willpower. Not your discipline. Your breakfast.

In this episode, I am sharing the one rule that has changed the way my clients eat in the morning — and the way I eat every single day. It's simple, specific, and it works with your body in perimenopause, not against it.

I call it the 40-gram breakfast rule, and by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to use it and why it matters to your weight loss goals, and your life!

Inside This Episode

• Why your body responds completely different to breakfast in your 40s than it did in your 30s — and the hormone shift that changes everything
• The surprising breakfast food that sent one of my clients into a spiral of cravings and low motivation (hint: it sounds healthy)
• The exact formula I use to build my breakfast bowl every morning, including my current favorite ingredient
• Why 40 grams of protein is what your body actually needs — and how to hit it without overthinking it
• What Sharon noticed after just 4 days of eating this way (including one thing that surprised even her)
• Four steps to make this work starting tomorrow morning, even on the busiest weekday

What’s so special and unique about the women who lose weight and actually keep it off?

There you are…you keep trying new plans. New recipes. New meal strategies. New gym memberships. And somehow, nothing sticks. SO frustrating, right?

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain to show you what I teach from day one inside The Perimenopause Weight Loss Method. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with food.

The women who lose weight in perimenopause and actually keep it off aren't following a different plan than you. They're thinking differently.

Specifically, they've learned to stop letting their thoughts drive them away from their goals, and started using their thoughts to build the identity of the woman they want to become.

If you've ever said 'I just can't stay consistent' or 'nothing works for me' or 'I just don't care anymore,' this episode is for you.

Inside This Episode

• Why your brain keeps defaulting to a new tactic when things aren't working — and what it's actually trying to protect you from
• 4 thoughts I hear most from women who are stuck, and why each one is keeping you exactly where you are
• What the women who successfully keep the weight off have in common — (hint: it's not motivation or discipline)
• The identity shift that makes workouts feel non-negotiable instead of optional
• Three things you can start doing right now to change the way you think about your weight loss journey
