If you feel like lower belly fat showed up out of nowhere in perimenopause...you are not alone.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually going on with lower belly fat—and why more cardio, eating less, or trying to "target" that area isn't giving you the results you want.

We'll talk about what's changing in your body, the biggest mistakes I see women making, and what actually works if your goal is a leaner, more toned physique.

If you're tired of feeling like you're doing everything "right" but nothing is changing, this will connect the dots for you.

GLP-1 medications are everywhere right now — and there is a lot of noise about who should use them and why.

And let me clear: I am not anti-GLP-1. I am anti-muscle loss.

In this episode, I am sharing my honest take as a coach who works with women in perimenopause every day.

These medications can be incredibly helpful for women who truly need them. Especially for those struggling with weight and blood sugar issues.

But there is a major problem that no one is talking about.

Muscle loss.

And if you are a woman in perimenopause, losing muscle can make fat loss harder long-term.

Inside this episode:

• Who GLP-1 medications are for
• How GLP-1 meds work
• The muscle mass problem
• How to protect muscle mass and prevent weight re-gain if you use them

And if you are trying to lose fat without losing muscle, protein matters! 👉Grab my free Protein Hacks Guide for simple ways to eat more protein without overthinking it.

I used to believe that being in perimenopause meant being more strict with my diet to get results.

So in my early 40's, I dove into the world of keto and intermittent fasting. And although it did work for me for a while; it left me food focused and feeling restricted. It also impacted my ability to put on muscle.

In this episode, I am pulling back the curtain on why I stopped doing keto-the good, the bad, and everything in between. We talk about:

• The seductive "quick fix" trap
• The benefits of keto and why it works for fat loss (spoiler alert-it works because it helps you eat less calories)
• How it wrecked my relationship with carbs and food in general
• Why moderation (and more carbs) was the game changer my body and mind needed

If you are perimenopausal, wanting to lose weight, and considering keto-you need to hear this today. 💗

If you ever thought, "I just want to stop thinking about food all the time", this episode is for you.

We're talking about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy-and the surprising reason so many women are drawn to them: the quieting of food noise.

But here is the truth...

You don't have to take medication to feel normal around food again.

In this episode, I am breaking down:

• What is food noise and where it comes from
• Why GLP-1s reduce food noise-and why that feels like such a relief
• What this tells us about cravings and binge eating
• How to quiet the chaos without relying on meds
• What food peace can look like (and why it's possible for you)

• 
  

If you've ever struggled with bingeing, emotional eating, or constantly thinking about food-this episode will hit home.

Maybe you know that moderation is the answer...but why does it feel impossible to stick to?

If you are stuck in the "good all day", and spiral out of control at night cycle-or constantly swinging between restriction and overeating-this episode is for you.

I'm breaking down:

• The benefits of developing the skill of moderation-including quieting food noise, enjoy favorite foods without spiraling out, feel more satisfied (not deprived).
• Why willpower isn't the answer and why "getting it out of the house" only works for so long.
• Simple ways to feel more satisfied with your food-physically and mentally.
• What you actually need to eat (and think) to stop cravings, feel in control, and stay consistent.

And if fat loss is your goal, moderation isn't "a nice idea"-it's essential.

When you stop obsessing about food, you free up the mental energy to eat in a way that supports fat loss without restricting or starting over every Monday.
