Perimenopause Weight Loss When You Are Doing Everything Right

Episode 323

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 10:28

The most frustrating part of perimenopause weight loss is doing all the “right” things and getting nothing back from the scales. If you’ve cleaned up your eating, started moving more, cut back on alcohol and sugar, and worked on sleep and stress, yet your weight won’t shift, I want you to hear this clearly: it doesn’t automatically mean it’s not working.

I walk through the hidden time lag that can happen in perimenopause and menopause, when your body focuses on internal rebalancing before it lets go of fat. Think hormone stabilisation, inflammation reduction, improved insulin sensitivity, and restoring a sense of metabolic safety. We also talk about water retention and why you can feel puffy or “bloated all over” when inflammation, stress, poor sleep, menstrual cycle changes, oestrogen fluctuations, progesterone shifts and higher cortisol are all influencing fluid balance.

Then we get practical about what to track instead of obsessing over a single number. I share smarter progress markers like how your clothes fit, tape measurements (including where to measure your waist), energy out of 10, sleep quality, cravings and that classic 3 pm slump, plus strength changes. This mindset shift takes the emotional sting out of weigh-ins and helps you stay consistent long enough for results to show up.

If this resonates, hit follow or subscribe so you don’t miss a weekly episode, share it with a friend who’s battling midlife weight gain, and leave a five-star review if it helped. What’s the one progress metric you’re going to track this week?

Muscle Changes Everything

Episode 244

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 14:24

Your metabolism didn’t change overnight, but it might have quietly lost something powerful - muscle. If fat loss after 40 feels harder than it used to, I’m sharing the missing piece I see in so many women navigating perimenopause and menopause and it’s not more hustle, more cardio, or harsher restriction. It’s building and preserving muscle mass.

We talk through why muscle starts declining from around age 30 and why the rate can speed up in your 40s and 50s as oestrogen drops. I unpack what that means in real life: strength dropping faster than expected, skin looking less firm, energy dipping, and the frustrating reality that the same food and exercise plan can stop working. Then we get practical about the upside: muscle supports resting metabolic rate, improves insulin sensitivity for better blood sugar control, and helps your body burn fat more efficiently.

I also explain why cardio alone is not enough for menopause weight loss, how brisk walking can support fat burning, and why strength training two to three times per week is a smart baseline for healthy ageing. We cover protein intake, recovery, progressive overload, and safety considerations if you have sore joints, old injuries, or concerns like osteopenia. There’s even emerging insight into the muscle-brain connection and why staying strong may support cognition as you age.

If you want a plan that prioritises fat loss while preserving lean muscle, check out The Glow Protocol and book a peri weight loss assessment via the link in the show notes. Subscribe or follow, share this with a friend who’s stuck, and if it helped, leave a five-star review so more women can find it.

Why Her Weight Loss Seems Easier

Episode 321

Monday, February 23, 2026 • Duration 18:37

Ever feel like everyone else drops weight with a snap while you grind for every centimetre? This week on the podcast, I dig into the real reasons midlife weight loss can look easier for other women and map out a kinder, smarter path that actually works for a changing body. As hormones shift through perimenopause and menopause, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass and stress responses change the rules, so two women doing the same things can see wildly different results. We break down what’s really happening—rising cortisol, low-grade inflammation, gut imbalances—and how each one can quietly stall progress even when you’re eating well and moving often.

We talk through the leverage points you can control. Strength training becomes non-negotiable for preserving muscle and lifting your basal metabolic rate. Protein timing and fibre-rich whole foods help stabilise blood sugar and appetite. Practical stress strategies—breathwork, short walks, sleep boundaries—dampen cortisol’s impact. We also spotlight gut health: regularity, the estrobolome’s role in oestrogen metabolism, and why chronic constipation or diarrhoea is a signal to act, not a quirk to ignore. Small, consistent shifts across these areas compound into energy, better sleep and a body that feels like yours again.

Finally, we explain why personalised support beats willpower. Coaching provides clarity, accountability and course correction that rigid, one-size-fits-all plans lack—especially after 40. If comparison has you stuck, try my simple journaling prompts to spot your most important next step and replace self-criticism with curiosity. Ready to trade comparison for a plan that fits your life? Follow the show, share this episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more women find evidence-based support.

Perimenopause Detox Simplified - Pathways to Rejuvenation

Episode 232

Monday, March 18, 2024 • Duration 22:18

Could your body be crying out for a detox, and you don't even realize it? In this week's episode, I outline the often-overlooked necessity of detoxification for perimenopausal women, tackling the pervasive myth that our bodies can handle it all on their own. Learn how environmental toxins like xenoestrogens can disrupt our hormonal balance, plus I'll hone in on how vital organs, not just the liver, are our unsung heroes in the detox process. With modern life piling on more challenges than our ancestors ever faced, I'll guide you on how to navigate the detox journey wisely, highlighting simple yet impactful lifestyle choices that can reduce your toxic load. And for those who desire a more structured approach, I introduce the Radiant Reset Hormone Detox program, promising a roadmap to rejuvenate your body's natural detoxification systems.

Detoxing isn't one-size-fits-all, and I'll shed light on the critical dos and don’ts, especially for the vulnerable groups among us. A true detox goes beyond fad diets and juice cleanses—it's about nourishing the liver with the right foods and steering clear of the wrong ones. From cruciferous vegetables to hydration and healthy fats, we'll discuss how to support your detox systems like never before. Moreover, I'll reveal how integrating movement and lymphatic care, such as dry body brushing, plays a pivotal role in the detoxification symphony. Join us as we navigate the nuanced path to a safer and more effective detox, ensuring your passage through perimenopause is not just survivable, but thrivable.

Shedding Light on Endometriosis Through the Perimenopause Lens

Episode 228

Monday, March 4, 2024 • Duration 17:54

In today's episode, step into a space where we unravel the mysteries of endometriosis, particularly in the context of perimenopause and menopause. Endo touches one in seven women, often lurking in the shadows with symptoms deceptively mirroring those of perimenopause. In this Endometriosis Awareness Month, I shed light on the diverse ways this condition manifests, from painful periods to inflammation in unexpected body parts like lungs and even the brain. By exploring the nuances of symptom identification and the importance of gut health, I aim to arm you with the knowledge to advocate for your wellbeing.

Navigating the management of endometriosis symptoms can be as intricate as the condition itself and you may need to advocate for yourself in order to receive the treatment you need. This episode isn't just informative, it's an opportunity for you to take action for better healthcare support for women in Australia impacted by this chronic health condition by supporting the petition linked below. Join me as we amplify the conversation and ignite the movement for improved care for those living with endometriosis.

I'll never forget the time I was wrestling with a necklace clasp, fingertips slipping, my frustration spilling over into tears. This was last year sometime and it's moments like these that can feel like defeat, but they're also a signpost to the wilds of perimenopause, something you might know all too well. On today's episode, Melissa from Perth has reached out for help with managing the extreme emotions of perimenopause. If you've ever found yourself tearing up over the tiniest of setbacks or riding the mood swing merry-go-round, you're in good company.

Join me as I share not only my own journey through these hormone-heavy seas but also offer some strategies to guide you back to calm waters.

I'm focusing on the ‘why’ behind our emotional ebbs and flows, likening perimenopause to a second puberty where hormones play a tempestuous symphony. This is an intimate and universal topic so here's some heartfelt advice and practical strategies from me.

It's time to empower ourselves with understanding and grace, so hitch a ride on this journey and discover how to embrace your perimenopausal passage with laughter, tears, and an unshakeable sense of self.
