  Your body is incredibly smart. Every time you eat, it gets to work breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and turning it into energy so you can think, move, and function. It doesn't stop to judge whether a meal was “good” or “bad.” It simply does its job, working to nourish you in the best way possible. But what your body needs shifts over time. In perimenopause and menopause, those needs change in ways that might surprise you. Learning to fuel yourself with what truly supports your body—without guilt or restrictive thinking—can make all the difference in how you feel every day.

Have you ever found yourself mindlessly snacking while scrolling through your phone, or grabbing a few extra bites while cleaning up after dinner? These small, seemingly harmless habits tend to creep back into our daily routines without us even realizing it. Over time, they add up—leading to unexpected weight gain and frustration.

For many women over 40, weight loss has long been tied to dieting—counting calories, restricting foods, and following strict plans in hopes of seeing a lower number on the scale. But as we enter perimenopause and post-menopause, our bodies undergo significant changes that demand a new approach. Instead of chasing quick fixes, it's time to embrace a sustainable, health-centered mindset that prioritizes nourishment, balance, and well-being over weight loss alone .Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/

Weighted vests have gained popularity as a tool for improving strength, bone density, and overall fitness. For women in premenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, the potential benefits of using a weighted vest may be especially valuable. But what are the actual benefits, and are there any risks to be aware of? Let's dive into the purpose, benefits, and precautions of using a weighted vest during midlife and beyond.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists have been gaining attention for their role in weight loss and appetite control. Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which regulates blood sugar, slows gastric emptying, and reduces appetite. But what if you could support your body's natural GLP-1 production with food? Let's explore naturally occurring foods that can enhance GLP-1 levels and whether they can help with food noise the way medications do.

302:// How Your Emotions, Mental Health, and Unmet Needs Impact Your Eating, Hormones And Weight Loss Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/ For many women over 40, losing weight isn't just about calories and exercise—it's about emotions, mental health, and the deeper needs that often go unmet. If you've struggled with weight despite doing “everything right,” it may be time to look beyond diet and exercise and explore the connection between your emotional well-being, hormones, and your body's ability to lose weight.

As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, they often notice changes in their weight, energy levels, and overall health. One key factor that can contribute to these changes is insulin resistance—a condition where the body's cells don't respond efficiently to insulin, leading to blood sugar imbalances and increased fat storage. Understanding insulin resistance and how to manage it can be crucial for maintaining health and well-being during this stage of life.

When it comes to losing weight and improving your overall health, one of the most effective tools is self-monitoring. Tracking what you eat, how you move, and even your emotional patterns can provide valuable insights that help you make informed decisions and stay consistent with your goals.

Episode Description: Changing your health habits isn't just about following a new meal plan or committing to a workout routine—it's about breaking old patterns that have been ingrained for years. For women, especially those navigating midlife changes, the process can feel overwhelming, frustrating, and even discouraging at times. The truth is, transforming your health will feel hard before it gets easier. But that doesn't mean it's impossible. If you've ever started a new habit with excitement, only to feel stuck or unmotivated a few weeks later, you're not alone. The key is understanding why this happens and knowing how to push through the discomfort so you can reach the other side—where real change happens.

Our emotions are powerful forces that influence nearly every aspect of our lives—including our weight. While many people focus on diet and exercise as the keys to weight management, the truth is that our emotional state often plays an equally significant role. By understanding how emotions impact weight and overall health, you can take a more holistic approach to wellness that addresses both the body and mind.

As women, we're often praised for our ability to juggle countless responsibilities—caring for our families, excelling in our careers, and supporting our communities. But somewhere along the way, we tend to place our own needs at the bottom of the priority list. This pattern, particularly common among women over 40, can have significant implications for both mental and physical health. Let's explore why this happens, the risks it poses, and how prioritizing yourself can transform your well-being.   GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/

For women over 40, navigating the relationship between self-love and health goals can feel like a tightrope walk. On one hand, you're encouraged to embrace and love yourself unconditionally, celebrating the wisdom and strength that comes with age. On the other hand, there's a desire—or sometimes a societal pressure—to work on your health, fitness, or weight. These goals can feel contradictory, but they don't have to be. Loving yourself and striving for better health can coexist beautifully. In fact, self-love can be the foundation for making healthier choices, and the pursuit of health can be an act of love for your body. Here's how to find that balance.   Come find us on the socials!

Whether you are starting a new goal or redefining a routine you are already working on - it can feel overwhelming and hard to squeeze in and become good at it due to the already high demands of work and life. However, we do know that there are some things that can create habits that stick—and ensure they're truly serving your goals.

If you've been looking for a more mindful, sustainable way to approach weight loss, the hunger-fullness scale might be the tool you need. Rather than rigid rules or calorie-counting, this scale helps you tune into your body's natural hunger cues and stop eating when you're satisfied. By learning to listen to your body and using this scale to guide your meals, you can build healthier habits, reduce overeating, and work toward your weight loss goals naturally. wellness-hungersatietyscale.pdf Come find us on the socials!

In our journey to better health, there are often times when we feel stuck, defeated, and unable to make progress, no matter how hard we try. If you've ever found yourself saying, “I've tried everything, and nothing works,” or “It's just too late for me to change,” you might be experiencing what psychologists call learned helplessness. This mindset can hold you back from reaching your health goals, but the good news is that it's possible to overcome it. Let's explore what learned helplessness is, how it shows up in our health habits, and practical steps to break free from it.

Recently I was scrolling through social media, and I heard this clip about wanting something isn't the same as doing it, thinking about isn't the same as doing it, hoping for it doesn't mean doing it. It's a common trap: we spend a lot of time thinking about our health goals, discussing them with friends, or even planning how we'll get there. But as comforting as these actions might be, they aren't the same as actually doing what's necessary to make those changes happen. The reality is, no amount of hoping or talking can replace the power of consistent, purposeful action. Let's dig deeper into why thinking, hoping, and talking often give us a false sense of progress—and what we can do to break free from this cycle.   Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/  

  Let's be real—most of us have turned to a snack (or two… or three) when we're feeling stressed, tired, or just overwhelmed. For women in perimenopause and menopause, emotional eating can be an even bigger challenge. Hormonal changes, fluctuating moods, and stress can all trigger cravings that seem impossible to ignore. The good news? You can learn to manage emotional eating and cravings with a few practical strategies. Let's dive into how you can do this in a way that's gentle, realistic, and totally doable.

For women going through perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes can bring about a variety of symptoms—ranging from fatigue and mood swings to hot flashes and weight gain. These can take a toll on your quality of life and overall energy levels. However, what you eat during this stage can have a significant impact on how your body manages these changes. Healthy eating not only improves your energy but also helps reduce the intensity of common menopausal symptoms. Let's talk about specific nutrients that help in specific ways to help you. Let's start to think about refocusing from weight loss to one that is focus on specific nutrients Here's 5 ways how healthy eating can help boost energy levels and manage perimenopause  and menopause symptoms.   Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/

As women reach their 40s, many notice that shedding the weight is no longer as simple as it used to be in their 20s or 30s. The same diet plans or workout routines that once worked no longer work, leaving many frustrated and confused. The truth is, as we age, our bodies undergo significant changes that can affect weight loss. Let's explore the 5 main reasons behind why it's harder to lose weight as we get older and what we can do about it.   Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/

We've all experienced that intense desire for change – the moment when we commit to a new diet, workout routine, or health goal with the best of intentions. But far too often, it comes with an all-or-nothing mentality: "If I can't stick to this perfectly, why bother at all?" This mindset can be paralyzing, leading to burnout, frustration, or, worse, inaction. However, there's a healthier, more effective way to approach change. By shifting from an all-or-nothing approach to one that embraces incremental progress, you can achieve lasting success without the stress.     Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/    

Episode Description: When it comes to making lasting changes in your health and wellness, one of the biggest obstacles is often ourselves. We say things like "I'll try to eat better," or "Maybe I'll work out tomorrow." This kind of passive language might feel safe, but it's also what keeps us stuck in the planning phase rather than actually taking action. In order to see real results—whether it's losing weight, boosting your energy, or improving mental clarity—you need to move from passive intention to active commitment. In other words, shift from saying "I'll try" to "I'm committed." Here's how.   Instagram: www. instagram.com/wholehealthempower FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/619968441854520/ 3 Way to eat better workbook: https://triciard.com/workbook/ GRAB YOUR FREEBIE HERE! 5 things you should be doing today if you are over 40! https://upbeat-hustler-2294.ck.page/06d0e2ccf9 Whole Health Empowerment FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wholehealthempower Website: https://triciard.com/

It's easy to fall into the comparison trap when it comes to health, wellness, and self-care. You might find yourself thinking, “Everyone else is doing better than me” as you scroll through social media, see others at the gym, or hear about someone's latest health achievement.  This mindset can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and a feeling of inadequacy. The truth is, everyone is on their own journey, and the only person you should be comparing yourself to is the person you were yesterday. Shifting from comparison to self-compassion is essential for a healthy mindset, and here's how to start.

Episode Description:  Many of us have the best intentions when it comes to improving our health. We set goals, create plans, and commit to making changes. However, a common roadblock that can prevent us from achieving long-term health success is a mindset of perfectionism. While striving for perfection might seem like a good idea, it can often hinder our progress and lead to feelings of frustration and failure. In this blog post, we'll explore why we adopt a perfectionist mindset, the benefits and downfalls of this mindset, and how we can shift towards a mindset of progress to achieve sustainable health changes.

Episode Description: We've all been there: setting intentions to improve our health—promising to eat better, exercise more, get enough sleep—but somehow, these intentions often fall by the wayside. Why is it that despite our best intentions, we struggle to take consistent action? And when we do manage to act, what makes the difference? Understanding these dynamics can be the key to finally turning our intentions into lasting habits.

Episode Description: Reaching the age of 40 and beyond brings with it a unique set of experiences and changes. Your body, once so familiar, now feels like a new terrain to navigate. You may notice shifts in weight, new lines and wrinkles, or changes in strength and flexibility. These changes can sometimes feel unsettling or even disheartening. However, they are also a testament to the life you've lived, the wisdom you've gained, and the strength you've built. Let's explore how you can promote health while embracing and accepting your evolving body.

  The cycle of running on empty is all too familiar for many of us. We push ourselves to meet deadlines, juggle responsibilities, and meet the demands of our personal and professional lives, often at the expense of our own well-being.  Breaking this cycle is essential for maintaining both physical and mental health.
