Connect with Experts to Finally Take Control of Your Menopause Journey | #0092 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted. 



In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that could change everything for you: connecting with the right experts to take back control of your menopause journey.



For years, so many women — myself included — have tried to “figure it out alone.” 



I used to believe I knew exactly what to do until perimenopause hit me like a freight train. 



I was exhausted, confused, and drowning in symptoms, trying every supplement and quick fix I could find. 



But everything changed the moment I decided to seek expert help.



Now, after ten years of being coached myself and helping thousands of women, I’ve learned one crucial truth: you don’t have to suffer or guess your way through menopause. 



Whether it’s a menopause specialist for HRT, a nutrition coach who understands midlife metabolism, or a holistic coach who can guide your training, mindset, and recovery — the right expert can completely transform your life.



In this episode, I share raw, real examples from my own journey and the women I coach — from dealing with anxiety, sleepless nights, and body aches when HRT runs out, to discovering how a structured, expert-supported plan brings relief, clarity, and renewed confidence.



I explain why doing it all on your own isn’t a sign of strength — it’s ego. 



True empowerment comes from knowing when to ask for help and investing in your well-being now, not someday. 



Because menopause is complex, individual, and demands a personalised approach — not generic advice or random internet tips.



If you’re feeling lost, stuck, or simply tired of spinning your wheels, this episode will help you see how connecting with experts can help you move from reactive and frustrated to proactive and thriving. 



You’ll learn how expert guidance shortens your learning curve, brings you accountability, and builds the version of you that’s strong, confident, and finally in control again.



Listen now to discover why trying to do menopause alone might be holding you back — and how the right support can help you live your most powerful chapter yet.

How Missing Out on Peer Support is Slowing Your Menopause Fitness Progress | #0090 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I explore one of the most overlooked factors in menopause fitness — peer support. 



So many women focus on nutrition and workouts but miss the vital ingredient that keeps motivation and consistency alive: connection.



I share how trying to do this journey alone can hold you back — from feeling isolated to losing momentum and accountability. 



You’ll hear real examples from my own life, including how joining a CrossFit community in Dubai reignited my drive, helped me form friendships, and reminded me why support is essential for both mental and physical health during menopause.



Inside the episode, I uncover five powerful reasons why peer support transforms your menopause journey — from shared experiences that make you feel seen, to the accountability that keeps you showing up, the learning that happens through community conversations, and the confidence that grows when you’re surrounded by women cheering you on.



If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling with strange symptoms or losing motivation to work out, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to do menopause alone. 



Connection fuels consistency — and consistency drives results.



Join me in The Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution, my free Facebook community of nearly 5,000 women, and start experiencing the power of sisterhood on your menopause fitness journey.

Why Going It Alone is Keeping You Stuck in Your Menopause Fitness Journey | #0089 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.





In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I open up about one of the biggest challenges I see women face in midlife — the belief that we can “do it alone.” 



So many women tell me, “Farah, I know what to do… I just don’t do it.” 



The truth is, menopause changes everything — from hormones to metabolism to mindset — and what worked in your 30s or even early 40s no longer delivers the same results.



I share my own story of struggling through perimenopause — from mood swings, binge eating, and hot flashes to realising that the doctors didn’t have all the answers. 



It wasn’t until I hired a coach and received the right guidance that everything began to make sense. 



I finally learned how to nourish my body, balance my hormones, and build sustainable habits that made me stronger — mentally and physically.



In this conversation, I break down the five main reasons women stay stuck when trying to navigate menopause fitness alone:



  1. Lack of Guidance – You can’t solve new problems with old tools. Menopause demands a new approach.


  2. No Accountability – When no one’s checking in, it’s too easy to slip back into old habits.


  3. Overwhelm and Confusion – There’s so much conflicting advice online that it leaves most women paralysed.


  4. Isolation – Doing it alone means missing the encouragement, reassurance, and inspiration that comes from being part of a supportive community.


  5. Slow Results – Without proven systems, it takes much longer to make progress and even harder to sustain it.



I also share powerful stories of clients who rediscovered their confidence and resilience — from the woman who celebrated her first “thigh gap” at 60 to another who realised she no longer needed sugar to feel good. 



These women found strength not just through workouts and nutrition, but by surrounding themselves with support, compassion, and community.



This episode is an invitation to stop walking this road alone. 

You don’t need to keep guessing, starting over, or waiting for the “perfect time.”



There’s a better way — one built on science, structure, and sisterhood.



Listen now to discover how working with the right guidance and community can transform your menopause journey — body, mind, and spirit.

The Hidden Danger of Ignoring Your Habits in Menopause Fitness | #0088 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted.



In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into something that could be the single biggest factor holding you back from feeling energised, confident, and in control during menopause – your daily habits. 



I want you to pause as you listen and really look at the patterns shaping your life right now. 



Because here’s the truth: the real danger in menopause isn’t your hormones, your age, or even your metabolism. 

It’s ignoring your habits.



I share openly from my own journey of feeling lost, exhausted, and angry during perimenopause – when I had no routine, no plan, and no help – and how everything changed when I got the right support, built simple, repeatable habits, and regained control of my health. 



I also reveal what I’ve seen time and time again with hundreds of women I’ve coached: when you stabilise your food, training, hydration, and recovery habits, your body starts to respond, your energy rises, your hot flashes ease, and your confidence soars.



You’ll learn:



  • The hidden dangers of ignoring your habits in menopause – and why they’re more damaging than you think.


  • Why inconsistency with food, movement, and recovery magnifies your symptoms and accelerates muscle loss.


  • How small, consistent changes (not fad diets or punishing workouts) protect your metabolism, shrink belly fat, and future-proof your health.


  • Why “motivation” isn’t the answer – and what really works instead to create lasting change.


  • The emotional toll of letting your habits slide – from low confidence and disconnection to feeling like a shadow of your former self – and how to reverse it.


This episode isn’t about perfection. 



It’s about real life, realistic steps, and how to stop breaking promises to yourself. 



If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck, frustrated, and invisible, and start thriving again, this is the conversation you need to hear.




Click play now to discover the simple but powerful shifts that can bring your energy, confidence, and joy back – and why now is the time to start.

Why 90 of Women Struggle to Maintain Shape-Building Habits During Menopause | #0087 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.

Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted. 




In this episode I call out the “magic pill” myth and share the unsexy truth that actually works: simple habits, practised consistently, change everything in perimenopause and menopause. 



Whether you arrive with decent routines or you’ve been forced to act because symptoms and confidence have crashed, I show you how to build results you can keep—wine and chocolate included—without waiting for motivation to magically appear.



I walk you through the five cornerstone habits that drive at least 80% of results for my clients: 



(1) strength training three times a week to protect muscle, bones and metabolism; 



(2) prioritising protein at every meal so you stay fuller, balance blood sugar and actually build lean tissue; 



(3) purposeful hydration (hello, electrolytes) to reduce bloating, support digestion and steady energy; 



(4) stress recovery and high-quality sleep so your hormones and hunger signals stop fighting you; and 



(5) planning and preparation to remove decision fatigue and make the right choice the easy choice. 



I’m honest about where HRT, supplements and blood work fit in—powerful tools for many, but never a substitute for the habits that carry you through menopause and beyond.



You’ll hear real stories from my coaching—like the vice-principal who protects her 5:30 a.m. workouts despite a new role, and the doctor who felt “on top of the world” within days of locking in these basics. 



I share exactly how I structure my own training, meals, recovery, and even family life to keep overwhelm low while progress stays high, plus the practical tweaks that turn good intentions into lived routines.



If you’re done with quick fixes and want a clear, compassionate blueprint that works in real life (and still lets you enjoy a glass of wine), press play. 



You’ll leave with a plan you can start today—and the belief that practice, not perfection, is what transforms your body and confidence in the next 90 days.

How Failing to Adapt is Derailing Your Menopause Shape-Up Journey | #0086 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Welcome back to Menopause Unscripted. 



I’m Farah, founder of the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method, where I help career-driven women navigate perimenopause and menopause with a system that makes fat loss, energy, and confidence truly sustainable.



In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest reasons women struggle during menopause: failing to adapt. 



For too long, many of us stay stuck in the habits that worked in our twenties and thirties—hours of cardio, skipping meals, cutting carbs—yet now, those methods are backfiring and leaving us frustrated.



I break down the five critical areas you must adapt if you want to stop spinning your wheels and finally see results:



  • Training – why endless cardio is sabotaging your progress and how strength training preserves muscle and metabolism.


  • Nutrition – the shift from restriction to balance that keeps your energy stable and cravings at bay.


  • Recovery – how poor sleep and stress wreck your results, and the recovery practices that turn everything around.


  • Mindset – letting go of perfectionism and embracing consistency so you stop sabotaging yourself.


  • Systems – why winging it doesn’t work in menopause, and how structure creates freedom and lasting results.



If you’re tired of clothes not fitting, your energy dipping, or feeling like nothing works anymore, this episode will show you exactly what needs to change. 



When you adapt in these five areas, you unlock the shape, strength, and confidence you’ve been chasing.

3 Reasons Inconsistent Habits Are Holding You Back From Getting in Shape During Menopause | #0085 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.




Hello and welcome back to the podcast. 



In this episode, I’m diving into three key reasons why inconsistent habits are keeping so many women stuck when it comes to getting in shape during menopause.



Over the years, I’ve spoken to countless women who feel frustrated, heavier, and less motivated than ever. 



They’re trying to recycle the same strategies they used in their 20s and 30s, only to find that nothing is working. 



The truth is, your body has changed – and so has the way your hormones respond.



That’s why habits matter now more than ever.



Here’s what I unpack in today’s conversation:



  1. Why your hormones demand consistency – and how erratic routines throw your body into chaos, fuelling cravings, weight gain, and exhaustion.


  2. Why muscle and metabolism don’t thrive on stop–start efforts – and how skipping workouts or relying on bursts of motivation is preventing you from seeing results.


  3. Why inconsistent eating patterns confuse your body – from skipping meals to overeating on weekends, I reveal how this sabotages your progress and what to do instead.



I also share personal stories, real client examples, and practical strategies you can start using today. 



From sleep and recovery, to food freedom without deprivation, to building confidence through daily wins – I show you exactly what it takes to break free from inconsistency and finally make progress.



If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels, or if you’ve said “I’ll start again on Monday” one too many times, this episode will be eye-opening. 



It’s not about perfection – it’s about consistency, stacking wins, and building a rhythm that allows you to feel strong, energised, and in control of your menopause journey.



Click play to listen now and discover how to shift your habits in a way that finally works for your body in this stage of life.

How Neglecting Strength Training is Sabotaging Your Belly Fat Loss | #0084 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted. 



In this episode, I dive deep into the single most powerful habit that will transform your menopause journey: strength training.



For over a decade I’ve been talking about lifting weights – and I’ll never stop – because so many women still don’t realise just how vital it is. 



Cardio alone won’t shift your stubborn midsection fat, protect your bones, or boost your metabolism. 



Only progressive, consistent strength training can do that.



I share stories from my clients across the globe who have embraced lifting and seen incredible changes in their health, confidence, and energy. 



I also open up about my own journey – from running through postnatal depression, to discovering the hard way in my 40s that cardio couldn’t solve belly fat, to how strength training has carried me through perimenopause, IVF, C-section recovery, and the ups and downs of HRT.



This is not about becoming “skinny” or chasing quick fixes.


 

It’s about preserving muscle, building strength, and protecting yourself from the health risks of menopause – from brittle bones to visceral fat and metabolic disease. 



And let’s be honest, it’s also about mental health, resilience, and feeling in control of your body again.



If you’ve been putting off lifting weights, or if you’ve ever thought yoga or cardio was enough, I challenge you to listen to this episode. 



I’ll show you why strength training is non-negotiable if you want to thrive through menopause and beyond.



Click play and let me help you take the first step towards strength, confidence, and lasting change.

Why Your 90s Cardio Routine Isn’t Cutting It | #0083 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted. 



Today I’m diving into a topic that might feel nostalgic—those step aerobics, hours on the treadmill, or endless jogs from the nineties. 



Back then, it was all about burning calories at any cost, chasing a smaller number on the scale, and striving for “skinny.”



But here’s the truth: if you’re still relying on that old-school cardio routine, it’s not serving your menopausal body anymore. 



In fact, it’s working against you. 



Chronic cardio spikes cortisol, drains your energy, stalls recovery, and leads to the very thing we can’t afford—losing precious muscle mass.



In this episode, I share why it’s time to retire from the treadmill obsession and shift your focus to what really works now: strength training, smart walking, and mobility work. 



I’ll explain how building muscle, balancing hormones, and reducing inflammation are the keys to feeling strong, energised, and confident in menopause and beyond. 



You’ll hear real stories from women I coach, including how breaking free from the “cardio trap” completely transformed their results.



This isn’t about chasing your 30-year-old body or living in the past—it’s about creating the strongest, fittest version of yourself today. 



If you want to know how to train for muscle, not misery, and finally see lasting results, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.



Click play now and let’s get you moving forward with the right kind of training for your body and this stage of life.

Why Your Vigorous Exercise Routine is Failing You in Menopause



Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted. 



In today’s conversation, I dive into a powerful truth that many women in perimenopause and menopause are yet to realise: pushing harder in the gym may actually be holding you back.



If you’ve been sweating buckets in HIIT classes, spin sessions, or long runs and still not seeing results, this episode will explain why. 



I break down the cortisol trap—how excessive, high-intensity training spikes stress hormones, stalls fat loss, worsens sleep, and fuels cravings. 



More isn’t better anymore. 



Your body has changed, and your exercise needs to change too.



I share the story of a client who swapped endless running for just three 30-minute weightlifting sessions a week and finally saw her body transform. 



We’ll explore why strength training is the smarter, hormone-friendly solution, helping you build lean muscle, protect your bones, and boost confidence for the long haul.



This episode isn’t about chasing skinny. 



It’s about creating a strong, resilient body that will carry you powerfully through menopause and beyond. 



I’ll also reveal the Five to Thrive habits—from nutrition and sleep to recovery and supplements—that work alongside smart training to rebalance your hormones and reshape your life.



If you’re tired of punishing workouts that leave you exhausted and frustrated, it’s time to listen. 



This conversation may just change how you train—and how you feel—for good.

How Poor Hydration is Sabotaging Your Fat Loss and Worsening Menopausal Symptoms | #0081 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Hello and welcome to another menopause podcast.



Today I’m tackling one of the most overlooked – yet game-changing – habits for fat loss and symptom relief in menopause: hydration. 



If you think you’re drinking “enough” water, or that your fatigue, bloating, cravings, and brain fog are just “part of menopause,” you need to hear this.



In this episode, I reveal how even mild dehydration can mimic hunger, worsen hot flushes, increase irritability, and slow your metabolism. 



I share why menopausal bodies absorb water less effectively, why coffee and wine aren’t helping your hydration (even if they’re liquid), and how simple changes – from adding squash or herbal teas, to using electrolytes – can transform the way you feel.



I also talk about my own journey from hating water to making it a non-negotiable habit, how I changed my children’s hydration habits for life, and why you should never “panic chug” litres at the end of the day.



If you’re ready to reduce brain fog, feel lighter, regulate your temperature, and make fat loss easier – without giving up your morning coffee – this episode will show you exactly how.

Managing Anxiety and Cortisol is Key to Unlocking Fat Loss During Menopause | #0080 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted. 



Today’s episode is one you must listen to — because if you’re a woman in perimenopause or menopause struggling with anxiety, stubborn belly fat, or just feeling completely wiped out emotionally and physically… this one will hit home.



In this powerful episode, I go deep into one of the three core pillars of the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method: Soothe, which addresses your internal stress response — particularly cortisol and anxiety, two of the biggest silent saboteurs of midlife fat loss.


I get real about what high cortisol really looks like — that wired but tired feeling, the emotional flatness, the sudden weight around your middle that won’t shift no matter how “clean” you eat or how hard you train. 



I share my own experience of what happened when I ran out of my HRT — how I felt like I was disappearing, despite training, eating well, and walking nearly 18,000 steps a day.



You’ll hear the raw truth about why so many of us feel broken in menopause — not just physically but mentally — and why it’s not your fault. 



The system has failed us. 



And now we have to reclaim our health through knowledge, strategy, and community.



This episode also covers:



  • The critical link between cortisol, anxiety, and fat storage (especially belly fat)


  • Why traditional dieting and over-exercising won’t work anymore — and what actually does


  • The truth about GLP-1 weight loss injections and why they’re a dangerous trap for menopausal women


  • How sleep, hydration, and slowing down are more powerful than another HIIT session


  • What society never told us about the mental load of midlife, and why you’re not “just moody” — you’re chemically imbalanced and under-supported


  • The type of coaching women in our 40s and 50s really need to transform


I also speak from the heart about the women I coach — women like you who are smart, driven, and successful but feel lost in their bodies. 



I challenge the mindset that you should “already know this.” 

Because you don’t. 



And it’s okay. 



That’s why I’m here.



If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to take back control of your body, your health, and your confidence — this is it. 



Don’t let stress and outdated tools keep you stuck. 



Listen now to hear the real solutions and the compassionate kick up the bum you might need today.

How To Optimise Sleep for Better Fat Loss During Menopause | #0079 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Hello and welcome back to another episode of Menopause Unscripted.



Today, I'm tackling a topic that most women completely overlook when it comes to weight loss – SLEEP.



I know how hard you've worked – tracking food, pushing through workouts, trying your best to stay on track – yet the fat around your middle just won't budge. 



What if I told you your lack of quality sleep could be the reason?



In this episode, I’m breaking down the real science behind how poor sleep sabotages fat loss – from how hormonal shifts (like low progesterone) impact melatonin production, to how high evening cortisol keeps your body in a state of stress all night long.



I also share the exact wind-down routines I use and teach inside my Meno-Fit Method – the same habits that have helped hundreds of women sleep deeper, lower their cortisol, balance blood sugar, and yes – finally shift the menopause belly.



If you’re someone who scrolls late at night, watches TV to wind down, eats late, or wakes up at 3am feeling wired – this episode is your wake-up call.



We also get real about the emotional drivers behind late-night screen time and overstimulation. 



I even share a powerful story about my sister and how unresolved grief led to years of poor sleep – reminding us all that sometimes, healing sleep means healing what’s going on beneath the surface.



Plus, I’ll walk you through:


  • Why prioritising a proper sleep routine is just as important as your workouts.


  • How to naturally support your sleep with magnesium, food timing, and stress tools.


  • What’s really happening when you feel hungry all the time – and how a disrupted circadian rhythm could be to blame.



If you’re serious about managing your menopause symptoms and reclaiming your body confidence in the next 90 days – don’t skip this one.



Because until you fix your sleep, your body will fight your fat loss efforts every step of the way.

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Hello, and welcome to today's episode of Menopause Unscripted.



In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode, I'm diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us — how to enjoy your glass of wine without sabotaging your fat loss goals during menopause.



We want it all, don’t we? 



We want to stay social, have our Friday night drink, and still feel confident in our skin. 



And guess what? 



It’s absolutely possible — if you do it the right way. 



Inside the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method, I coach women daily who enjoy wine and achieve incredible body transformations. 



This episode reveals exactly how.


I’ll break down:


  • Why wine and alcohol affect fat loss beyond just the calories.


  • What inflammation really means for menopausal women — and how alcohol plays into it.


  • How to structure your meals and alcohol intake intelligently, without guilt or restriction.


  • The number one mistake women make trying to “save calories” for drinks and why it backfires.


  • What empowered moderation actually looks like — and how real clients of mine lose 50, even 80 pounds while still sipping on wine every weekend.


You'll hear real-life strategies from women inside our community who’ve not given up drinking, but instead learned to own their choices without shame.



If you’ve ever said “I’ll stop drinking Monday” and then felt frustrated, or you’ve blamed alcohol for your stalled progress while ignoring sleep, stress, or skipping meals… this episode will be your eye-opener.



You’ll leave with practical steps, a new mindset, and permission to stop punishing yourself. 



This isn’t about all or nothing. 



This is about balance, boundaries, and becoming a woman who’s in charge of her body and her choices.



Click play now if you want to break the cycle of guilt, social pressure, and broken promises — and finally feel like you can be healthy, lean, and still raise a glass.

You Think You're Eating Healthy, But Your Food Tells A Different Story | #0077 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted. 



Today I’m diving deep into a topic that might just ruffle a few feathers: you think you’re eating healthy, but your plate tells a completely different story.



Why am I bringing this up? 



Because when women in perimenopause and menopause come into my programme, the very first thing we do is look at what they’re actually eating. 



Not by counting calories or measuring every gram — that’s overwhelming and simply not sustainable for women like us juggling menopause and life. 



Instead, we use real-life methods like photos and the HAND method to understand eating habits without the tedious numbers.



So many women believe they’re eating well — grabbing a salad here and there, having a few nuts, maybe skipping a meal — but if they were truly fuelling their bodies right, they wouldn’t be talking to me. 



Their bodies would already reflect the strong, lean, confident versions they’re striving for.



I share in this episode why your body never lies: it’s simply a reflection of your daily, consistent choices. 



From mindless nibbles to leftovers off the kids’ plates, to taste testing that all adds up — it all counts. 



And most importantly, I explain why planning your meals isn’t restrictive, it’s freeing. 



Because without a plan, you’ll always default to convenience, which rarely supports your health goals.



You’ll also hear exactly how I eat — not perfect, but balanced and planned, even with ice cream once a week. 



I give you an honest look at what it takes to build a body that feels amazing in menopause.



I’m passionate (almost desperate) to help women like you because I know first-hand that with the right nutrition, strength training, stress management, sleep, and supplementation, your menopause can be the start of your best chapter yet.



If you’re serious about gaining control over your menopause symptoms, building real confidence, and finally learning how to eat in a way that honours your life (without ever counting a calorie again), this episode is your wake-up call.



Click play now to hear the full story — and to discover how to stop lying to yourself about ‘eating healthy’ so you can start thriving in menopause.

A Simple Supplement Guide for Fat Loss in Menopause |#0076| The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Hello and welcome – I’m Farah Kariamburi, founder of the Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution, and in this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I’m cutting through the overwhelming noise around menopause supplements.



Have you ever stood in a pharmacy or supermarket aisle, staring at rows of bottles plastered with ‘menopause’ on the label, and felt tempted to buy them all in the hope they’d magically fix everything? 



I see it every day. 



Women in perimenopause and menopause, desperate for relief, spending fortunes on collagen, menopause teas, random vitamins – all without any real idea of whether they actually need them.



That’s exactly why I recorded this episode. 



I’m here to give you a straight-talking, honest guide to supplements for fat loss and hormone balance during menopause. 



And I’m telling you now: if you’re relying on powders and pills to fix your symptoms while still skipping meals, surviving on sugar and alcohol at the weekend, and barely drinking water, these supplements are doing absolutely nothing for you.




Inside this episode, I break down:


  • Why most menopause supplements on the market are just clever marketing, not science.


  • Why collagen might not be the miracle protein you think it is.


  • The truth about gut health, absorption, and why your declining oestrogen means you need to get smarter about nutrition.


  • The importance of your ‘Five to Thrive’ foundations: balanced meals, hydration, stress recovery, sleep, and consistent strength training – long before you reach for any supplements.


  • The handful of supplements that actually matter – from Vitamin D3 with K2, magnesium, Omega-3, creatine, quality protein powders, and probiotics – and exactly how they fit into your plan.



  • Why personalised blood tests each year are a non-negotiable if you’re serious about managing your menopause and seeing real fat loss.


If you’re sick of throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping some trendy supplement sticks, and you’re ready to build rock-solid habits that truly change your body and your confidence – this episode is for you.



I’ll also share powerful examples from the hundreds of women in my program who’ve transformed their energy, body confidence, and hormone health by getting the basics right first.



So pop in your earphones while you’re out on a walk or enjoying your tea, and hit play. 




This could be the episode that finally stops you wasting money on things that simply don’t work – and starts you on the path to feeling leaner, stronger, and more vibrant than ever in menopause.

Top 5 Snacks to Eat to Speed Up Fat Loss in Menopause |#0075| The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.



Snacking is a topic that comes up with nearly every woman I coach. 



In this episode, I dig deep into why snacking isn’t always the answer and how it can actually prevent you from managing your menopause symptoms effectively. 



I share candidly about my own challenges with snacking, how boredom and habit sneak in, and why setting up your environment for success is crucial.



We also explore how building balanced meals with protein, fats, carbs, and veg not only keeps you fuller for longer but also stabilises your blood sugar, improves energy, and helps you feel in control around food. 



I talk about clients like Emily, who struggled with snacking out of routine and how, by tweaking her meal timings and adding protein, she transformed her cravings and body confidence.



If you’re ready to feel in control of your eating, cut through the confusion, and learn how to nourish your body properly during menopause, this episode is essential listening.

Master This One Simple Trick and Watch the Fat Melt Away in Menopause! |#0074 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Hello and welcome to another episode of Menopause Unscripted — and I promise, you do not want to skip this one.



In this episode, I reveal one of the most underrated but powerful strategies I teach inside the Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method — a method that’s helped over 500 menopausal women take back control of their body, energy, and confidence.



What is it? It’s savoring.


And it’s so simple, yet almost every woman overlooks it.



We’re talking about how slowing down at mealtimes — truly being present while you eat — can melt fat, reduce bloating, curb cravings, improve digestion, and bring down stress. 



This isn’t about willpower or cutting out chocolate (in fact, I tell a story about a client who lost 100 pounds and still ate chocolate cake). 



It’s about eating with awareness.



I explain why mindless eating while multitasking — like in front of the TV or laptop — is one of the biggest fat-loss killers for menopausal women. 



I break down the science behind how estrogen affects digestion, hunger, and cravings, and why chewing slowly is more powerful than any calorie-tracking app or supplement bottle.



This episode will make you stop and think about the one thing you haven’t tried — and it's not another diet.


It’s the how behind your eating habits.



If you’re serious about managing your menopause symptoms, want to break free from binge eating or emotional snacking, and finally create habits that actually last, then this episode is your wake-up call.



Click play now and hear why eating slower might be the biggest fat-loss breakthrough you’ve never heard of.

Here’s Why You’re Struggling to Lose Weight in Menopause |#0073 | The Menopause Unscripted Podcast

Check the link at the bottom of the description to join our FREE Group.


Hello and welcome to Menopause Unscripted. 


I'm Farah Kariamburi, founder of Perimenopause & Weight Loss Revolution – and in this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools that could completely transform how you eat during menopause.



If you've been counting calories, obsessing over numbers, or jumping from one restrictive diet to another with no lasting success – this episode will speak directly to you.



Inside, I break down one of the key pillars of our Meno-Fit Methodology: Serving. 



And no, this isn’t about how much food to restrict – it’s about how you nourish your body using a simple yet game-changing strategy we call The HAND Method. 



This method has helped hundreds of women ditch diet culture for good, escape calorie-counting, and finally build a rhythm around food that fits real life – holidays, eating out, and family meals included.



I share why most healthy diets don’t work for menopausal women (even if you think you’re eating “clean”), how under-eating is keeping you stuck, and why carbs, fats, and protein all need to be on your plate – in the right proportions – to unlock fat loss, energy, and hormonal balance.



You'll also hear why fruit and nuts aren’t the protein sources you think they are, how fibre helps manage oestrogen, and why so many women are unknowingly triggering cortisol spikes by skipping meals or under-fuelling their workouts.



I go deeper into supplement myths, the real order you should approach your nutrition and hormones, and how to stop wasting money on pills when your foundations aren’t even in place.



If you’ve ever said, “I barely eat and I’m still gaining weight,” or “I’m doing everything right but nothing is shifting” – this episode will finally make it all click.



Menopause isn’t the end – it’s the reset. 

It's your chance to break free from toxic dieting and start fuelling for strength, confidence, and longevity.



Click play and learn how to eat in a way that finally works with your hormones, not against them.
