Thriving through Menopause with Fitness, Fat Loss and a Focused Mind

Are you doing “all the right things” but the scale still won't budge in perimenopause or menopause? In this episode of The Honeycast, I'm breaking down 5 sneaky reasons you might be gaining weight or struggling to lose belly fat in midlife—despite your best efforts. From hormone imbalance to the wrong kind of workouts, from fad diets that backfire to chronic stress and silent inflammation—we're uncovering the hidden ways your fat loss strategy might be working against you. If you're a midlife woman following the Trim Healthy Mama plan and wondering why you're stuck, this episode will help you connect the dots between your hormones, metabolism, and the sustainable strategies that actually work after 40.   Tired of doing all the “right things” and still gaining weight? This isn't about willpower—it's about midlife strategy. Inside Midlife Fat Loss Formula, you'll learn exactly how to eat, move, and support your hormones to see real change.

Sleep Struggles in Perimenopause? You're Not Alone. Hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause often bring one very unwelcome sidekick: sleeplessness. If you're tired of lying awake at 3 am, wired but exhausted, this episode is your next best step. Coach Kris sits down with Shonda Palmer, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and sleep specialist, to talk about why sleep gets harder in midlife and what you can do about it. You'll learn: How hormonal shifts like dropping progesterone and estrogen impact your ability to fall and stay asleep Why racing thoughts and nighttime anxiety hit harder in menopause The real role of sleep hygiene (and why it's not the magic bullet) How CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) works and why it's changing lives Powerful mindset shifts and body-based tools to calm your nervous system at night The truth about midnight wakeups (hint: they might be normal!) Strategies for sleep when your partner snores, or when you wake up hungry at 1 am Why a “Sleep Alliance” may save both your sanity and your marriage If you're doing all the things — fueling right, moving daily, praying hard — and still can't get a good night's sleep, this conversation will give you the hope and tools you need to take your power back. Because it's not just about sleep. It's about energy, fat loss, hormone balance, and feeling like yourself again.
