You're doing all the things to lose weight in perimenopause: eating better, getting your protein in, trying to move more. But the scale? It will not budge. If you've quietly started to wonder "what's the point", this episode is for you.
Why a 1,200 calorie diet keeps you stuck, and how much you should be eating insteadThe macro balance that actually protects your muscle and your energy in midlifeWhy 5 and 8 pound dumbbells feel heavy when they really aren't, and how to talk your brain into lifting moreHow more muscle quietly buys you food flexibility through your metabolic rateWhy the need to belong wrecks your consistency without you ever noticing
I keep hearing the same thing from women in my world. They feel like they're trying everything and nothing is working, so they've started to give in at the barbecue and stopped bothering with workouts. Inside this episode I walk you through the bridge between where you are now, and where you want to be, and why the gap in the middle is driven almost entirely by the way you think.
We get into the three pillars that decide whether you lose weight in perimenopause: a true calorie deficit, strength training with heavy enough weights, and consistency. Plus, I show you the sneaky thought hiding underneath each one (that is stopping you from actually losing weight).
If you feel like you're on an island with your health while the rest of your family eats however they want, this episode is for you.

Ever heard the term “lifestyle medicine”? You probably assume (like I did) that it means to eat well, move your body, and get some sleep. But I actually looked into it and realized there was more to it than I thought.
In this episode, I am breaking down the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, plus the seventh one that nobody else has added before.
Lifestyle medicine is a root-cause approach to your health, built to treat, prevent, and sometimes even reverse chronic conditions, which makes it essential in perimenopause and menopause.
I am walking through all six pillars, why each one hits harder once your estrogen starts to drop, the seventh pillar I refuse to leave off, and exactly where to start so you do not feel overwhelmed.
If you are leaning on HRT or a GLP-1 and quietly wondering whether that is enough on its own, this one is for you.
What You’ll Learn
- What lifestyle medicine actually is, and why it is so much more than eating well and working out
- The six pillars that matter most in perimenopause and menopause, and the real reason each one hits harder once estrogen drops
- The seventh pillar nobody puts on the official list, and why it is the one that makes everything else stick
- Why your HRT, GLP-1, and supplements can help, but were never built to do this job alone
- How to start first, so you stop trying to fix everything at once and actually see results

If you'd asked me a year ago whether I'd be recording this episode, I would have said no way. For a long time, I had a pretty firm opinion about GLP-1 peptides — and it wasn't a good one. But six months into my own peptide journey, my entire perspective has shifted.
And today, I'm sharing the whole honest story with you.
Why I used to believe peptides were the easy way out (and what changed my mind)What pushed me to research GLP-1s in the first placeMy personal story and journey from the last 6 months with peptidesThree things peptides will NOT do for you (and why this matters)The four non-negotiables every woman needs in place before considering peptides
If you've struggled with food noise (if you know, you know). If inflammation is constant. If the pounds won't budge no matter what, you need to listen to this episode.
I'm walking you my very personal journey of how I went from being judgmental about peptides, to using them myself. I'm sharing what they did for me, what they absolutely did not do for me, and the four foundational pieces every woman needs in place before she even considers them.
This is a personal, vulnerable, and educational conversation, and I'm glad that you're here to take this journey with me. I hope you'll listen with an open mind, and maybe you'll update your beliefs, too!

Ever looked at your colleague, your neighbor, or your sister who is successfully losing weight in midlife and quietly wondered "why can't I?!" It doesn't have anything to do with willpower, hormones, or how disciplined she is.
In this episode, I'm sharing the one thing that quietly drives every health outcome you have — and how to start building it for yourself.
Here's the hard truth: your success (in any area of your life) is directly correlated to your ability to manage risk.
In this episode I walk you through what risk really is when it comes to your body, your health, and your weight (hint: it's not what you think), and why high-achieving women who take risks all day long at work often get stuck the moment it comes to advocating for their own health.
I share three real examples — the gym, a girls' weekend with my student Kathy, and my own New Year's Eve story — to help you see exactly where your relationship with risk might be holding you back. This is the kind of work I do every week with my students inside The Perimenopause Weight Loss Method, and is likely the missing piece you've been looking for.
What You'll Learn
- Why your ability to manage risk is the quiet driver behind every health outcome you've ever had
- The sneaky reason successful career women can't seem to follow through on their own health goals
- What's actually happening in your brain and body the moment you consider doing something new for yourself
- Why the woman next to you who is losing weight isn't smarter or more disciplined than you — she's just doing this one thing differently
- How to start building your risk tolerance the same way you'd build a muscle
- The one question to ask yourself this week to see exactly where you're stuck

Feel like you're eating healthy and "clean", but you're still not losing those midlife pounds?
Why eating clean and eating anti-inflammatory are not the same thing (and why it matters in midlife)How your "healthy" breakfast is triggering inflammation and crashing your blood sugarWhy your body literally cannot burn fat efficiently when it's fighting inflammation and blood sugar swings at the same timeThe simple shift Kathleen made to her breakfast that gave her all-day energy and crushed her cravings
You're eating the salad. You ordered the oat milk latte. You swapped your white bread for whole grain. So why isn't the scale moving?
Believe it or not, you can be eating clean and still triggering inflammation in your body every single day. And when your body is fighting inflammation, you're not going to be able to lose weight, no matter how many salads you ate this week.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the difference between eating clean and eating anti-inflammatory, and why this distinction matters so much in midlife. I'm breaking down what a typical "healthy" breakfast is actually doing to your body, why your estrogen levels are working against you in perimenopause, and how one small shift completely changed everything for my student Kathleen.
If you have been doing all the right things and still not seeing results, this episode is going to clear up so much confusion for you.

You said you’d do it differently this year. You’d lose the weight, feel confident at the pool, finally not need a cover-up. And here you are, a few weeks out from summer, in another fitting room, in another swimsuit you can’t even imagine wearing in public. If that loop sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
Why your brain tells you it’s too late and how that keeps you stuck in the same loop year after yearThe thought-feeling cycle that signals your nervous system it isn’t safe to make changes right now (and what to do instead)The both/and approach to summer: how to hold acceptance and the belief that you can change at the same timeWhy high-achieving women resist acceptance the most, and the specific reframe that finally lets it landReal, doable changes you can make in the next few weeks that actually move the needle in midlife
In this episode, I’m getting honest about something I’ve skirted around on this podcast for a long time: the very real desire to feel confident in a swimsuit this summer. I see so many of my students (and so many of you!) landing in that exhausted, defeated thought of "it’s too late", "I’ve let myself go", "I’ll just stay in my cover-up".
I’m walking you through exactly why your brain lets this keep happening, what your nervous system is actually doing in those moments, and the both/and approach that finally breaks the loop. Plus, I’m sharing the story of one of my students who lost 4 pounds right before summer, even with a chaotic work trip in the middle of her first few weeks inside the Perimenopause Weight Loss Method.

If you hear the word "Maycember" and you laugh and cry at the same time, this episode is for you. The craziness of all.the.things this month, plus your body is already doing its perimenopause thing on top of it. So how do you actually get through this month with your energy, patience, and sanity intact?
Why Maycember hits midlife moms harder than younger moms (hint: your hormones are to blame)The exact time-blocking method I use to turn my calendar into a stress-reducing to-do listHow to decide your one or two daily non-negotiables and why this is the foundation for everything elseWhy anti-inflammatory eating matters more in May than any other month (and how to start with one meal a day)My smartwatch hack for getting in 100 ounces of water without sipping all day
In this episode of The Family Fork, I'm sharing my best practices from 23 years of mom life for surviving Maycember without abandoning your health and wellness routines. (And if you don't have a routine yet, I’m showing you how to get started today with every little time and energy!)
We're talking about the two big moves that are going to change how this month feels. Plus, I'm walking you through my own three non-negotiables, exactly how I make each of them easy in May, and what it can look like if you're starting from scratch this week.

You've been here before. You've lost some weight, you're feeling good, making progress — and then life happens. Your schedule changes. Your kid needs more support. You go on vacation. And suddenly, all that progress starts to slip away.
Getting results is one thing. Keeping them? That's where most women end up blaming themselves when the wheels fall off.
This is the fourth and final episode of my Spring Into Summer series, and it brings everything together. We've covered mindset (Episode 1), anti-inflammatory nutrition (Episode 2), and why lifting heavy beats cardio (Episode 3).
Now we're talking about the piece that actually makes it all stick: maintenance.
I'm sharing the framework I've used to maintain my own results through conditions that are less than ideals. And I'm walking you through how to build your own non-negotiables, where to allow flexibility, and what to do the moment you fall off track (hint: you don't need to wait until Monday).
What You'll Learn
📌 Why most programs fail you at the maintenance stage, and what's actually missing
📌 The difference between motivation and identity
📌 How to identify your non-negotiables vs. where you can be flexible
📌 How to write an identity statement that keeps you on track all summer — and beyond

Episode 1: Stop Chasing Discipline and Build This Instead
Episode 2: One Nutrition Shift to Thrive In Midlife
Episode 3: Build Muscle, Burn Fat: The Midlife Fitness Formula -
If you've been adding more cardio to try and drop weight before summer, and it's not working, this episode is going to explain exactly why.
I know, it sounds completely backwards. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s like I did, you remember when cardio was everything. Jane Fonda workouts. Hours on the stair stepper. The formula was simple: want to lose weight? More cardio. Want to tone up for summer? More cardio.
But in midlife, that approach is counterproductive. You're checking the calorie burn on your smartwatch, hitting 10,000 steps, signing up for spin classes — and the scale won't budge. You might even be working harder than ever and seeing fewer results than ever.
This episode is part three of my Spring Into Summer series, and we're tackling the fitness piece.
I'm breaking down what happens to your cortisol and inflammation when you do too much cardio in perimenopause, why muscle mass is the real driver of your metabolism, and how lifting heavy weights (not endless treadmill sessions) is the secret to getting the toned arms and defined legs you want this summer.
Plus, I'm sharing my own story, how being forced to stop cardio after breast cancer surgery actually gave me the results I'd been chasing for years.
What You'll Learn
📌 Why more cardio increases cortisol and inflammation in midlife (making weight loss even harder)
📌 The real reason you're losing muscle mass — and why that's tanking your metabolism
📌 How to get toned arms, defined legs, and a stronger body without hours in the gym
📌 The concept of progressive overload and how to start lifting heavier than you think you can
📌 The nuance: when cardio IS helpful (Dr. Vonda Wright on jumping and bone density)

That avocado toast with whole-grain bread and a yogurt on the side? It sounds like a solid start to the day. But if you're in perimenopause or menopause, you might be hitting three major inflammatory triggers before 9am — and you don't even know it.
This is episode two of my Spring Into Summer series, and today we're talking about nutrition. But not just any nutrition advice. I'm breaking down why the generic meal plans flooding your Instagram feed aren't working for you — and why every woman over 35 should be eating anti-inflammatory.
Your body in midlife is fighting inflammation around the clock. And without the protective estrogen you had before perimenopause, that fight just got a lot harder.
I'm walking you through exactly how inflammation shows up in your daily life (hello, 3pm crash and middle-of-the-night wake-ups), which foods are making it worse, and how to eat anti-inflammatory without giving up tacos, burgers, or family dinners.
Plus, I'm sharing a client story about Kathy (who was eating "healthy" but still struggling with energy, sleep, and weight), and the simple shifts that helped her lose 7 pounds and finally stop dreading social dinners.
What You'll Learn:
📌 Why "eating healthy" isn't enough in midlife — and what to focus on instead
📌 How inflammation shows up as weight gain, the 3pm energy crash, and disrupted sleep
📌 The four foods that are most inflammatory for women in perimenopause (you're probably eating at least one every day)
📌 How the "healthy breakfast" trap could be sabotaging your progress before 9am
📌 What anti-inflammatory eating actually looks like at a normal family dinner table — not a spa menu
📌 How Kathy lost 7 pounds, crushed her sugar cravings, and stopped dreading dinners out
📌 The one simple swap you can make this week to start reducing inflammation

I had a wake-up call the other day. I was on my usual dog walk, baking in my long sleeves and yoga pants, sweating through what I thought would be a casual 30-minute stroll. And it hit me: shorts season is coming. Whether I'm ready or not.
This episode kicks off my Spring Into Summer series — a 4-part series built on the same framework I teach in The Perimenopause Weight Loss Method. We're starting with the Think phase, because here's what I know: your thoughts aren't background noise. They're producing your results. And if you're heading into summer planning to restrict more, exercise more, and be more disciplined? That approach is going to backfire.
I'm sharing the two thought patterns that keep women stuck ("nothing ever works for me" and "I don't have time"), plus the simple reframes that change everything. And I'm walking you through a client story that shows exactly what happens when you stop chasing perfection and start building an identity instead.
What You'll Learn:
📌 Why "I just need more discipline" is the most detrimental thought you can carry in perimenopause
📌 The difference between willpower (which runs out) and identity (which sustains you)
📌 How to shift from a deadline goal to a direction goal — and why that changes your choices at every summer barbecue
📌 Two thought patterns keeping you stuck and the exact reframes to try this week
📌 The mindset shift that helped my client Sheri finally stop yo-yoing and start maintaining her results
📌 Why focusing on how you want to FEEL this summer makes everything easier

If you've been blaming stress, aging, or "just not trying hard enough" for the weight gain, the bad sleep, and the feeling that your body is working against you — this episode is about to reframe everything.
I sat down with Stephanie Traver, a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and founder of Vital Menopause in Colorado. Stephanie has built her entire practice around one mission: making sure women have access to real, evidence-based care in perimenopause and menopause. And she is a wealth of knowledge.
In this episode, we get into the biology of what's actually happening in your body during perimenopause — and why the old playbook (cut calories, work out more, push through it) just doesn't work anymore. We also talk about hormone therapy, who's a good candidate, and the myths that are still circulating even though the research has moved on. Plus, Stephanie shares the nutrition and lifestyle pillars she builds her entire practice around.
What you'll learn:
📌 Why perimenopause can start as early as 35 — and the very first sign most women miss
📌 The lesser-known symptoms that are almost always hormonal
📌 Exactly what's happening biologically with belly fat — the insulin resistance and estrogen connection explained clearly
📌 Who is (and isn't) a good candidate for hormone therapy, and how to have that conversation with your doctor
📌 The three nutrition foundations Stephanie tells every single patient
📌 How mindset is part of the clinical picture

Tired of trying to make habits that never stick? Maybe you've tried every meal plan, workout program, and healthy habit out there, only to watch everything fall apart within days?
You're not alone, and more importantly, it is not your fault. (That's good news!)
In this episode of The Family Fork, we're diving deep into the real reason healthy habits feel nearly impossible to build in midlife. Spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with your willpower, discipline, or motivation. It has everything to do with the way your brain is wired.
In this episode:
📌 Why the all-or-nothing approach to healthy habits is working directly against your brain, plus the simple mindset shift that changes everything
📌 The surprising truth about how long it actually takes to build a new habit (hint: it's not 21 days)
📌 Why your brain is secretly scanning for evidence that your new habit won't work, and exactly how to interrupt that pattern
📌 Why buying the new yoga pants, downloading another meal plan, or joining a new gym isn't the answer (and what actually is)
📌 The three concrete solutions you can start using this week to finally build healthy habits that last
You're capable of building new habits that stick, but you need a new strategy for doing that. Listen to this episode to get the full strategy, and to start building healthy habits today!

How in the world do you stay consistent and "motivated" long enough to lose 65 lbs?
As I reflect on my 50th year (which I hoped would be my healthiest year ever), I recognized that the health lessons I really needed, I learned when I lost 65 lbs in my late 40s.
When people ask me how I stayed consistent, it all came down to three big lessons, which I unpack here.
In this episode:
📌 Learning how to work with your brain instead of fighting against it's natural wiring, allows you to stay consistent whether you have motivation or not.
📌 Find small wins, because motivation and discipline don't show up everyday. Finding excitement in the small wins can help you keep moving toward your bigger goal.
📌 The truth is that sustained weight loss is long and boring...but you can train you brain to celebrate all the victories along the way!
