Weight Loss Forensics: FBI Tactics to Investigate Cravings, Overeating, and Why Diets Suck – Détails, épisodes et analyse

As we enter midlife, many of us have perimenopause on our minds, but very few know what to actually look for.  Yes, it’s skipping periods, hot flashes, and night sweats, but what about everything else? How are you supposed to know if you’re in perimenopause or if it’s something more serious? And what about mood swings, emotional rollercoasters, and brain fog? Is this just a normal part of getting older?

On today’s episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’ll answer the question… how do you know when you’re shifting into perimenopause, and what steps do you need to take to ensure a smoother transition?

To really tackle this topic head-on, Dr. Mariza Snyder will join us and offer up expert advice, as we dive headfirst into the nitty gritty of the beginning stages of “the great change”. 

Together, we will unpack:

• How can you identify when you’re shifting into perimenopause and what steps can you take to ensure a smoother transition?
• What are the different stages of perimenopause and are there any tests to confirm our suspicions?
• What can we do to avoid or tackle weight gain in midlife?
• Why is building and maintaining muscle mass during perimenopause so important?
• What are “exercise snacks” and how can we incorporate them throughout our day?

Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, perimenopause and menopause expert and the author of eight books: The newest book, The Essential Oils Menopause Solution, focuses on solutions for women in perimenopause and menopause.

She has been featured on Dr. Oz, Oprah Magazine, Fox News Health, MindBodyGreen and many publications. Dr. Mariza is also the host of the top-rated Energized Podcast, (with over 11 million downloads) designed to empower women to become the CEO of their health.

Two words: midlife crisis.  You know you’ve thought about it before.  You see that family member or friend completely change out of nowhere and you wonder what in the world happened to make them completely flip their life upside down.  Maybe they left a career they’ve had for 20 years, they bought a fancy sports car, or even (gasp) got a divorce. 

But what if I told you that not all midlife changes are a crisis and that extreme, and for many women, it’s more of an awakening?

In this episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we are going to answer the question… what are the top 3 things we need to learn in the school of midlife?

To help us answer that, we've got the school of midlife expert herself, Laurie Reynoldson. Laurie was a lawyer on the brink of making partner at a large law firm and walked away from everything she had ever worked for.


Together, we will unpack:

• What are the top 3 things we need to know to succeed in the school of midlife?
• How do you define success and how can that definition change over the years?
• What does the success playbook look like when we finally focus on ourselves?
• What is the best strategy for creating boundaries and sticking to them?
• How do you handle the negative comments and push-back during your midlife transformation?

After an award-winning 20-year career as an attorney, Laurie left the law when she was on the verge of joining the partnership at a large super-regional firm, the job she’d worked her entire career to land. She knows exactly what it feels like to have everything you’ve ever thought you always wanted in life, but still feel like something is missing. Which is why she’s made it her mission to provide women with the tools, information, support and community to thrive in midlife…and skip the midlife crisis.

If you’re a woman in midlife, chances are, you’ve experienced at least one situation where you were at an event where there was something decadent to eat. And because you were on a diet or trying to lose weight, or eat healthier, you were tempted. Maybe you were out to dinner with your spouse or friends and they brought out this tantalizing dessert tray, or maybe it was the monthly office birthday party where they were serving Costco cake, or maybe it was over the holidays and every party you went to, they had your favorite Christmas cookies that reminded you of how your Grandma’s kitchen smelled the entire month of December. And even though you kept telling yourself, I really shouldn’t eat this… you give in to temptation. And then, you felt guilty. 

In this episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer the question… what separates the woman who is trying to eat better, but continues to do these mental gymnastics in her head, and then falls back into the same habits and the woman who effortlessly eats the foods that enables her to achieve sustainable weight loss?

The phenomenon that I’m about to share, I actually experienced back in 1999 when I lost 40 pounds, and I’ve been able to keep my weight within a 10 pound range of my ideal weight for the last 25 years, even though I’ve gone from being a competitive mountain bike racer to surviving breast cancer treatment and experiencing Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, a sluggish thyroid, and being knee deep in midlife and menopause. You’re probably going to be surprised at how simple this behavioral model is.

If you are interested in learning more about what’s been preventing you from achieving sustainable weight loss, along with why you keep falling back into the same habits, then keep listening, because this episode is for you. And at the end, you’re going to walk away with one very specific action step that you can take today, to start making your journey to better health more effortless and sustainable. 


Together, we will unpack:

• What separates women who continue to struggle with trying to eat better, from those who seem to effortlessly eat the foods that enables them to achieve sustainable weight loss?
• What are the 5 Logical Levels, and how can you apply them to achieve sustainable weight loss?
• How can you pull yourself out of returning to the same old habits?
• How does your identity relate to your weight set point?
