• How much protein you should get daily.

• Why losing too fast leads to muscle loss + slower metabolism
• The 5 ways to track progress that actually matter
• A client story that proves how important it is to zoom out
• How to stay consistent even when the scale is acting chaotic

If you're starting fresh this January and you want to avoid the classic "I'm not losing fast enough" spiral — this episode will be a game-changer.

Feeling like your body's working against you in your 40s? You're eating clean, working out harder than ever, and yet… the weight just won't budge. Your energy's low, sleep is off, and your doctor says it's "just hormones" or "normal aging."

But here's the truth: You're not broken—and you don't have to accept that answer.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really happening in perimenopause, why so many women feel dismissed by traditional advice, and how foundational strategies like strength training, blood sugar balance, and stress recovery can completely change the game.

You'll learn:

• Why "eat less and move more" doesn't work in perimenopause.

• What your OB-GYN may not be trained to address.

If you're wondering whether you have to track your food to see results—or if you're tired of logging every bite and want to eat more intuitively—this episode is for you.
⁠
Here's the truth:
-Tracking is a great tool for building awareness and hitting your fat loss or muscle gain goals.
-Intuitive eating is not a weight loss plan—but it's a powerful way to maintain results with a more flexible approach.
⁠
In this quick episode, I break down:

• When tracking works best

• Why intuitive eating isn't about shrinking your body

• How I help my clients transition between both

First up: is your metabolism actually slowing down when you hit a plateau during a diet? 

I'm breaking down what metabolic adaptation really is, how fast it kicks in, what signs to watch for, and how to work with your body—not against it.

In today's episode, I chat about how the definition of female health has changed over the past few decades. We've gone from wanting to be skinny and starved to training for muscle growth and eating to fuel that muscle.

This is making us stronger, more confident, more mobile, more energetic, AND it's helping us improve our relationship with food because we now understand that food = energy!
