Description

If you have been jumping from diet plan to diet plan, just to give up. If your current weight loss plan doesn’t feel like something you could maintain while you lose fat, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about why most diets fail busy women in midlife, especially during perimenopause, and what sustainable fat loss actually looks like when life is full, stressful, and unpredictable.

Between inconsistent sleep, hot flashes, work demands, family responsibilities, and low energy, most women don’t need another rigid diet plan. They need a strategy that works in real life.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why traditional diets don’t work for women in perimenopause
  • How stress, hormones, and metabolism impact fat loss
  • The role of nutrition quality, macros, and meal prep in midlife health
  • Why restrictions backfire and lead to regaining weight
  • How mindset, consistency, and lifestyle habits create real results

This episode will help you stop blaming yourself, understand what’s really holding you back, and start building habits that support your health, energy, wellness, and fat loss, even on your hardest days.
