67. Perimenopause Weight Loss: Why It’s SO Hard (And Exactly How to Fix It) with Leslie Weidner

This episode is for you if you’re a woman over 40 looking to shred weight and gain energy. We are going to find applicable solutions from a registered dietitian specializing in perimenopause!

Leslie Weidner is a nutritionist with over a decade of experience in nutrition and dietetics. She specializes in guiding women through the complex journey of perimenopause, helping them navigate hormonal changes with personalized nutrition plans and lifestyle adjustments.

Over the past 5 years, Leslie has empowered women in perimenopause to make sustainable, healthy habit changes. In 2023, she moved from Kirkland, Washington to Scotland where she lives with her family. She coaches women virtually through her company Leslie Weidner Nutrition. 

We learn:

  • Why keto, high protein and other fad diets fail

  • The importance of fiber for perimenopausal women

  • Weight cycling leads to extra weight gain in the long run

  • Visceral fat is a concern for health, not just appearance

  • Why the scale isn’t the best indicator for health

  • Self-acceptance is important as bodies change with age

  • How diet influences mental health

  • How women metabolize alcohol differently during perimenopause

  • Hormonal changes lead to increased fatigue and sleep issues

  • Hormone replacement therapy can provide relief for some women

  • Eating less and exercising more backfires during perimenopause

  • Morning sunlight can regulate circadian rhythms

  • How social media can contribute to stress and disrupt sleep
