Description

In this episode, LaDawn Hickman, Holistic Nutrition and Weight-Loss Coach for women over 40, reveals how something as simple as a daily walk can help balance hormones, reduce stress, and reignite metabolism during perimenopause and menopause.


If your workouts feel harder, your energy’s lower, or your body just isn’t responding like it used to, this conversation will help you understand why and how to move in a way that actually works with your body instead of against it.


What You'll Learn in This Episode:



  • How walking lowers cortisol and helps your body release stubborn belly fat naturally

  • The connection between gentle movement, estrogen balance, and stress recovery

  • Why steady, low-impact exercise preserves lean muscle and supports metabolism after 40

  • How walking improves heart health, blood-sugar regulation, and mood stability

  • Practical ways to turn walking into a powerful hormone-friendly ritual


Motivating Quote:  “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
