Episode Details

Are you trying to "eat less" and exercise more in order to lose fat, but now that you're in perimenopause or onward your body isn't working the way you're expecting?

Are you restricting foods, exercising endlessly, and not seeing ANY progress on the scale, or GOD FORBID, things are actually going in the OPPOSITE direction and you feel SO out of control?

Then this episode is FOR YOU.

Today, we are going to explore how the metabolism works in menopause, what actually influences our metabolism, and how we can manipulate it for fat loss success—even when the things you USED to do for fat loss aren't working anymore.

In this episode, we cover:

-What metabolism is

-What "calories out" actually means

-What "calories in" actually means

-Why it stopped working

-Considerations for menopause
