Ep. 1: What is Perimenopause?

What perimenopause and menopause actually are—especially since 1.1 billion women are expected to be in perimenopause by 2025! And while perimenopause and menopause is a natural process that is supposed to happen as we age, the aggressive side effects are not. The symptoms are common but you shouldn't be just trying to "survive" this time period.

In this episode, Coach Amy and I went over exactly what we do with clients to lead them to success by addressing their mindset!

Ep. 2: Estrogen & Menopause Fat Loss

As we go through perimenopause and menopause our estrogen levels start to drop, it leads to hormonal symptoms (brain fog and hot flashes anyone?). But that's not the only thing that happens when estrogen drops... It makes building muscle harder, losing weight harder, and even increases our chances of developing diabetes.

So how do we combat the changes and struggles our body experiences as we see estrogen decrease?

Ep. 8: Weight Fluctuations in Menopause

In this episode, I am going to teach you a ton of reasons as to why the scale can move so much day-to-day and what you can do about it. It should also give you peace of mind that you are not gaining and losing fat that quickly.

I outline a checklist of things to consider when the scale changes so you can figure out what is actually going on in your body and take control back

Ep. 3: Insulin Resistance & Menopause

Did you know that our ability to control our blood sugars starts to decrease as we go through perimenopause? Estrogen is responsible for helping out with insulin sensitivity by helping shuttle the sugars in our blood to our muscle cells. When estrogen drops during perimenopause and onwards we see that not only does our insulin resistance go up but with that fat storage increases as well! What do we do?

Ep. 6: Low Carb in Menopause is Making You SKINNY FAT

Today, I am unpacking the truth about carbs—why you need them and how to incorporate them into your diet without spiking your blood sugars so you can lose fat WHILE still enjoying those yummy carbs!
