‣ Take The Fat Loss Fix Quiz: https://1ck2gu1qfir.typeform.com/menometabolism
For years, I was a chameleon—constantly changing myself to fit in.
I thought if I lost the weight, dressed right, achieved enough, and went above and beyond… maybe then I’d finally feel loved. Maybe then I’d belong.
But even when I reached the goal weight and checked all the boxes, I still felt empty.Because the truth is, no amount of shrinking yourself or chasing perfection can fill a self-worth wound.
In this episode, I’m opening up about:
- The painful words and actions from my dad that made me question my value
- How chasing weight loss and achievement never gave me confidence
- The moment I finally let go of his validation and claimed my worth
- A simple exercise that helped me finally see myself through the eyes of the people who love me
If you’ve ever hustled for your worth, tried to be someone you’re not, or thought weight loss would fix the emptiness… this episode is for you.
❤️ Your worth was never up for debate.

You’re doing all the “right” things…
And you still feel exhausted.
Here’s the truth:
It’s not just age.
It’s not just hormones.
It’s that your body has stopped turning food into energy—and started storing it as fat.

But 90% of the time? It comes down to 2 major problems - tune in!

You’re eating cleaner than ever…
No sugar. No junk. You’re cooking 90% of your meals from scratch — because you care about your health.
And yet…
The scale won’t budge.
Your jeans still feel tight.
The bloating, the exhaustion, the cravings? Still there.
And now you’re left wondering:
“What more can I do?”
“Why isn’t this working?”
Here’s the truth no one is telling you:
👉 Clean eating does not automatically equal fat loss — especially if your metabolism is sluggish, inflammation is high, or your hormones are out of sync.
If you're doing everything right and still stuck, this episode is your missing piece.
Because it’s not about trying harder — it’s about getting your body to respond differently.

You’ve cut the calories. You’ve tried the workouts.
You’ve pushed through exhaustion and cravings—and still, the weight won’t budge.
It’s not your fault.
It’s not your discipline.
And it’s not just age.
⚠️ The truth?
Most women over 40 are stuck in fat-storing mode—not because they’re doing it wrong, but because their hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, and stress signals are screaming for support. And your lab work is the roadmap you've been missing.
EVEN if your doctor says it’s “normal” we look for optimal
Because doctors can’t prescribe you anything until it is out of range
And at that point we are trying to get out of a pretty deep hole.
We want to optimize your health, lab levels and take control before things get worse!
In this free, value-packed webinar, I’ll show you how to:
🔍 Decode the lab markers your doctor might be ignoring🔥 Identify the hormonal blocks to fat loss
🧬 Build a fat-burning plan based on your unique data
💪 Finally feel like your body is working with you again—not against you
If you’re tired of guessing, exhausted by doing “all the things,” and ready for answers that actually change your body—this is the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

You’ve been eating less.
Working out more.
Cutting carbs, skipping snacks, pushing harder.
And your body?
Still tired. Still inflamed. Still storing everything you eat.
Sound familiar?
💥 The truth is, if your body doesn’t feel safe…
It won’t burn fat.
It will store it.
That’s where reverse dieting comes in—but most women are doing it wrong.
In this episode, I break down:
🔄 What reverse dieting actually is (hint: it’s not just eating more)
⚠️ The most common mistakes I see women make that keep them stuck in fat storage mode
🥩 How to structure your food and macros to teach your body to use fuel instead of fear it
⏳ The timeline you need to reset your metabolism and earn a fat loss phase that works
🧠 The mindset shifts required to reverse diet without freaking out over the scale
If your body’s been fighting you at every turn…
If you're gaining on low calories…
If you’re terrified to eat more but desperate to feel like you again
🎧 This is your roadmap to metabolic freedom.
🔥 Tune in and get the do’s, the don’ts, and the exact steps I use with my 1:1 clients to unlock fat loss by fixing the foundation first.

Are you stuck in a loop of negative thinking, self-doubt, or frustration with your health journey? You might be unknowingly binge-watching the wrong mental programming—and your brain is queuing up more of the same.
In this episode, we dive into a powerful mindset shift using a relatable analogy: Netflix.
Just like your favorite streaming service recommends shows based on what you’ve watched, your brain serves up thoughts based on what you focus on—whether that’s lack, failure, or abundance and possibility.
You’ll learn:
- Why your brain keeps defaulting to self-sabotage
- How your “mental algorithm” affects consistency, cravings, and confidence
- The neuroscience behind focus and how it shapes your health outcomes
- Practical strategies to break the binge cycle of negative thoughts and start “streaming” - beliefs that align with who you want to become
- How this shift transformed my relationship with food, movement, and self-worth—and how it can do the same for you
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start building lasting change from the inside out, this episode is your reset button.
TIMESTAMPS:
(00:00) - Intro
(01:35) - Our brains work the same way as Netflix
(04:40) - What you seek, you strengthen (Your RAS)

What if the decisions you’re avoiding today are shaping the future you’ll regret tomorrow?
In this episode, we get real about aging, identity, and the quiet danger of indecision. One in three women ends up in a nursing home. The average life expectancy for women is 81. For many of us, we’re already halfway there—yet we’re still letting fear, comfort, and passivity decide for us.
This isn’t about fear-mongering—it’s about waking up. Because you don’t drift into a strong, vibrant, purposeful life at 80—you decide your way there.
We’ll unpack:
- How delay gives fear the microphone and silences your calling
- Why passivity wears the mask of wisdom (but steals your future)
- The powerful connection between gratitude, giving, and becoming
- What it means to age by design vs. age by default
- Why the small, boring decisions you keep avoiding matter most
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to step into the next version of yourself…
This is your call to stop drifting and start deciding—on purpose.

Ever step on the scale, see a lower number… and then watch it bounce back the next day like it never happened?
You’re not alone—and you’re not failing.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 12 sneaky reasons your weight can spike day-to-day—even when you’re doing everything “right.”
We’ll talk about:

✅ How perimenopause magnifies these ups and downs
✅ The mindset shift that will save your sanity (and your progress)
✅ What to focus on instead of obsessing over the number
✅ Simple strategies to help minimize scale fluctuations—like stabilizing blood sugar, tracking bowel movements, supporting your liver, and actually getting enough sleep (yup, it matters)
This episode isn’t just about understanding the “why”—it’s about learning how to regain your power when the scale plays games.
Because real fat loss isn’t linear. And the scale? It doesn’t get to decide your worth—or your results.

Does alcohol really make that big a difference when it comes to fat loss after 40?
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how alcohol impacts your hormones, metabolism, muscle growth, sleep quality, and belly fat.
Especially for women in perimenopause and menopause, your body doesn't process alcohol the same way it used to—and even “moderate” drinking could be the invisible roadblock between you and your goals.
Whether you’re a social sipper or someone who loves that end-of-day glass to unwind, this episode will give you the science, the strategies, and a whole new perspective on alcohol and your body.
You’ll learn:
🍷 What alcohol actually does to your metabolism over 40🧠 How it impacts hormones like estrogen, cortisol, insulin, and testosterone
😴 Why even a drink or two can wreck your sleep—and sabotage recovery and cravings
🥩 The surprising way alcohol interferes with muscle gain and fat burning
🧬 The truth about “moderation” and whether any amount is truly safe or healthy
🔁 How to reset your habits without feeling deprived or isolated
This isn’t a lecture—it’s an eye-opener. And it might just be the nudge you need to unlock real change.

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling unheard, unseen, or told everything was 'normal'—even though you knew something was off? You’re not alone.
In this powerful episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on medical gaslighting—the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without real answers when it comes to their health.
We also break down what evidence-based care really means—and how it often gets used as a shield for lazy medicine that doesn’t serve women in perimenopause, postpartum, or even during puberty.
We cover:
- The most common forms of medical gaslighting (and why they’re so damaging)
- What “evidence-based” care should mean vs. how it’s misused
- Why so many women are told “everything looks fine” when their hormones are clearly not
- How to advocate for yourself when you’re not being taken seriously
- Why your lived experience is data—and deserves to be part of your care plan
This is an episode for every woman who has ever been brushed off, labeled as “dramatic,” or told to “just wait it out.” Your voice matters. Your symptoms matter. And it’s time we stop settling for surface-level care that ignores the bigger picture.
🎧 Tune in and reclaim your power in the doctor’s office—and beyond.

You’ve been told to “just listen to your body”…But what if your body is sending mixed signals because your hormones are out of sync?
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the intuitive eating trend—and why it often backfires for women over 40. If you're gaining weight, always bloated, or constantly craving sugar even when you're “doing everything right,” this episode is your wake-up call.
We'll break down:

🧠 How stress, low protein, poor sleep, and blood sugar swings hijack your hunger cues
🔁 Why “honoring your cravings” can become a trap when leptin and cortisol are off
🔍 The missing piece intuitive eating ignores: your biology is not the same at 45 as it was at 25
✅ What to do instead if you want food freedom and fat loss in midlife
You’re not broken. But your intuition might be misfiring—and this episode will show you how to take back control.

You’ve been told HIIT is the holy grail for fat loss—fast, sweaty, efficient.
But if you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s doing all the “right” workouts and still not seeing results… this episode is your wake-up call. 😳
Here’s the truth: HIIT can open fat-burning pathways—but done wrong (or too often), it floods your body with cortisol, disrupts hormones, and sends the signal to store fat, not burn it. 🧠⚡
In this episode, I break down:
- What HIIT actually is (hint: most people are doing it wrong)
- How it can help or harm your fat loss based on your hormones
- Who should be doing it—and who shouldn’t
- What to do instead to burn fat and protect your metabolism
If you’re feeling exhausted, inflamed, and stuck… it’s time to HIIT smarter—not harder. 💪
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - Intro
01:00 - Overview of HIIT
02:20 - The difference between HIIT, Met Con, Circuit Training, etc.
03:40 - What HIIT actually is & how it's done
12:13 - How HIIT affect your hormones
16:55 - The Pro's and Cons of HIIT
34:50 - What to do if HIIT isn't for you
39:00 - Final thoughts + reminders
You’re doing “everything right”... but the fat won’t budge. You’ve dialed in your workouts. You’ve cleaned up your food. You’re even trying to manage your stress.
So why do you still feel stuck, bloated, and inflamed?
👉 It might be your liver.
In this powerful roundtable episode, I’m joined by three of our expert coaches to break down why liver health is one of the most overlooked—but essential—pieces of the fat loss puzzle.
We talk about:
💥 The role your liver plays in hormone metabolism, detoxification & fat-burning
🥴 Signs your liver might be overloaded (spoiler: it’s not just fatigue or skin issues)
🧬 How estrogen dominance, cortisol, and liver sluggishness are all connected
🥦 The exact foods and nutrients your liver needs to do its job
❌ Why trendy detoxes and juice cleanses can actually backfire
✅ The sustainable habits that support liver function AND accelerate results
This is one of those “lightbulb” episodes that will change how you look at fat loss forever.
Because if your liver is sluggish, your fat-burning pathways are blocked—and no amount of calorie-cutting or cardio will override that.

Let’s be honest: you know what to do. You’ve read the blogs, watched the reels, maybe even bought the planner.
But somehow… you’re still not following through.
In this episode, we’re getting real about why it’s so hard to be consistent—and how the right kind of accountability can change everything.
👊🏼 Maybe you think you just need more “willpower.”
💔 Maybe you feel like you should be able to do it on your own.
🎯 Or maybe you're stuck in a perfectionist cycle: if you can’t do it perfectly, you don’t do it at all.
We unpack:
🔁 The danger of relying only on motivation and what to do
instead
💡 The difference between self-accountability vs. external accountability (and why you need both!)
🔥 Real talk: what accountability looks like when life feels unhinged
✨ How to build momentum even when you're tired, discouraged, or doubting yourself
If you’ve ever said, “I know what to do—I just don’t do it,” this episode is your wake-up call.
👉🏼 Tune in and find out which kind of accountability YOU actually need right now—and how to build it in a way that feels supportive, not shameful.
