In this validating episode, I’m joined by fitness and hormone health coach Molly McNamee, founder of MFit Workouts and expert in helping women balance stress hormones so they can finally shed stubborn weight without restrictive diets or punishing workouts.Together, we break down why the traditional “eat less, move more” approach that may have worked in your 20’s and 30’s is the exact thing sabotaging your metabolism, nervous system, and fat loss in perimenopause—especially if you’re a high-achieving woman juggling stress, responsibilities, and nonstop pressures.Molly shares how chronic stress, cortisol overload, over-training, under-eating, and nervous system dysregulation all block weight loss in midlife, plus what women can do instead to feel strong, energized, emotionally stable, and metabolically resilient again.This episode is essential listening for any woman who feels like her body is betraying her—or who’s tired of trying everything and still not seeing results.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why “eat less, move more” works when you’re younger… but backfires in perimenopauseSubtle signs of nervous system dysregulation that show up as weight gain, anxiety, cravings, burnout, and exhaustionThe truth about HIIT training, fasting, and hustle culture—and who they actually harmHow to rebuild a fitness routine that supports your hormones instead of stressing themWhere beginners should start (without overwhelm)What Molly does personally to keep her stress and nervous system regulatedHer unfiltered advice for every woman navigating perimenopauseHow to access Molly’s resources, coaching, and her Cortisol Checklist Key TakeawaysWeight loss resistance in perimenopause is often a stress and nervous system issue—not a willpower issue.Chronic overtraining and under-eating spike cortisol, which tells your body to store fat, increase cravings, and slow metabolism.Women in midlife need smarter, gentler, hormone-supportive fitness strategies—not more intensity, restriction, or pressure.🔗 Links & ResourcesLearn more from Molly:🌐 Website: https://mollymcnamee.com/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mfit.workouts/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsmollyrae🧪 Cortisol Checklist: https://mollymcnamee.com/cortisol-checklistConnect with Bria:🌐 Website: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/ 🎧 Listen to past episodes: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/the-period-whisperer-podcast 📝 Take the 2-Minute Health Debt Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/68ab9b1d8bbfc20015513285 📩 Book a Free Discovery Call: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/hormonebreakthrough

In this  episode, I sit down with functional health educator and author Caroline Allen to uncover one of the most overlooked foundations of midlife vitality: mineral replenishment. After years of doing “everything right” and still feeling burnt out, anxious, and depleted, Caroline discovered that mineral deficiency—not willpower, not mindset, not workouts—was the hidden root cause behind her symptoms. Now she’s on a mission to help women understand why minerals matter so deeply in perimenopause, how our modern world has stripped them from our food and water, and how to safely replenish them to restore energy, sleep, hormones, mood, and resilience. In this episode, we break down:  What minerals actually are and why they’re essential for hormone balance, mitochondria, and nervous system health How to know if you’re silently depleted (spoiler: most of us are) The biggest causes of depletion—from stress to soil quality to perimenopause physiology The best (and safest) ways to test mineral levels Why plant-based, full-spectrum minerals outperform conventional supplements Simple first steps to start nourishing your mineral stores today Caroline’s unfiltered advice for women navigating midlifeIf you’re feeling fatigued, fried, foggy, or frustrated… this conversation will help you finally understand why. Key TakeawaysMineral depletion is one of the most common—but ignored—drivers of perimenopause symptoms. Proper testing and full-spectrum mineral replenishment can profoundly improve energy, sleep, mood, and hormone balance. You’re not broken—you’re depleted. And replenishing minerals is a simple, powerful place to start.  🔗 Links & ResourcesLearn more from Caroline Alan:📚 The Mineral Reset (Hay House, April 2026 — preorder info coming soon)🌿 Website: https://www.carolinealan.com/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinealan.official/🌊 BEAM Minerals: https://beamminerals.com/📸 BEAM Minerals on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beamminerals/💻 Mineral Reset Book Info: http://mineralresetbook.comMentioned in the Episode:✨ BEAM Minerals Complete Women’s Kit✨ BEAM Advanced Set✨ 60-Day Liquid Plant-Based Minerals ProtocolConnect with Bria:🌐 Website: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/🎧 Listen to past episodes: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/the-period-whisperer-podcast 📝 Take the 2-Minute Health Debt Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/68ab9b1d8bbfc20015513285📩 Book a Free Discovery Call: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/hormonebreakthrough
