Recovery can feel deeply uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and at times utterly terrifying. But what if that discomfort is not proof that you are doing recovery wrong… but evidence that your brain and nervous system are learning something new?In this Q&A episode of Fly to Freedom, I answer real questions from members inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle about some of the hardest and most honest parts of eating disorder recovery.Together, we explore what happens when recovery feels wrong, why fear of weight gain goes far beyond appearance, how trauma can shape restriction and people-pleasing patterns, and what it really takes to keep choosing recovery when everything inside you wants to run back to what feels familiar.In this episode of Fly to Freedom, I talk about:✨ How to keep choosing recovery when the unfamiliar feels terrifying✨ Fear of weight gain, body changes, and the sensory experience of living in a changing body✨ Autism, sensory processing, clothing struggles, and feeling physically uncomfortable in recovery✨ Trauma, emotional abuse, people-pleasing, and why boundaries can feel so difficult✨ Binge eating, extreme hunger, refeeding, and understanding the difference between biology and pathology✨ Compensating behaviours, exercise, food rules, and how recovery rewires the brain✨ Why community and nervous system safety matter so deeply in eating disorder recoveryOne of the questions explores something I do not think we talk about enough in anorexia recovery and eating disorder recovery: the felt experience of weight gain. Not mirrors. Not scales. The physical sensation of inhabiting a body that feels different — clothes touching differently, movement feeling unfamiliar, heightened body awareness, and the intense sensory experience that can come with body changes, especially for autistic people.I also answer a powerful question about childhood trauma, emotional responsibility, caregiving, and restriction — and why recovery sometimes involves grieving the love, safety, or acceptance that was never fully received.We also explore one of the most misunderstood parts of eating disorder recovery: binge eating, extreme hunger, and what happens when a previously undernourished body finally begins asking for what it genuinely needs. I unpack the difference between biological refeeding responses and binge eating disorder, and why context matters so much when understanding hunger in recovery.And I share parts of my own recovery journey too, including how I challenged compensating behaviours, stopped compulsive exercise, responded to intense hunger, and allowed my body to repair after years of deprivation.If you are struggling with fear of weight gain, compensating, uncertainty, body discomfort, trauma, binge eating fears, or simply trying to stay committed when recovery feels terrifying, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, understood, and less alone.I am Julia Trehane, specialist anorexia recovery coach, and after fully recovering from decades of anorexia, orthorexia, and exercise addiction, I now help others navigate the emotions beneath an eating disorder to create lasting freedom.

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this episode, Leslie sits down with hormone health coach Dana Dinnawi to discuss the powerful connection between food, hormones, inflammation, and overall well-being. Dana shares her personal journey from years of unexplained symptoms, including weight gain, cystic acne, frozen shoulder, exhaustion, and severe ovulation pain, to discovering how food and lifestyle changes transformed her health. Dana explains how conventional approaches often focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing root causes. She describes how a simple nutrition-based intervention helped her recognize that many chronic health issues were messages from her body signaling deeper imbalances. That experience eventually inspired her to become a health coach and spend the last 13 years helping women reverse hormonal and inflammatory conditions naturally. Leslie and Dana explore the emotional side of health transformation, discussing the challenges of perfectionism, diet culture, guilt, and shame. They explain why true healing requires more than simply changing what you eat; it also involves understanding emotional needs, stress patterns, self-sabotage, and the deeper reasons behind food choices. The conversation also highlights the importance of developing a healthy relationship with food rather than chasing perfection. Dana shares how she learned to balance enjoying life's special moments while still supporting her health goals, and why becoming the "CEO of your own health" is a journey that unfolds over time through self-awareness, experimentation, and compassion. Standout Quote "Your body is always communicating with you. Symptoms aren't random; they're messages showing you that something needs attention." Timestamp Highlights 00:00 – Dana shares her personal health struggles and the symptoms that led her to seek answers. 02:34 – Leslie welcomes hormone health coach Dana Dinnawi to the podcast. 05:27 – Dana explains how years of dieting and unexplained symptoms led her to explore natural healing. 08:30 – Discovering health coaching and learning about inflammation as a root cause. 10:24 – A two-week nutrition reset produces unexpected improvements beyond weight loss. 11:03 – Understanding symptoms as messages from the body rather than isolated problems. 12:13 – Dana's life-changing realization that inspired her to become a health coach. 13:21 – Leslie shares her own experiences using food to improve health and reduce inflammation. 15:31 – Moving beyond weight loss and embracing a broader definition of health. 16:39 – The moment Dana realized her energy and vitality had returned. 19:04 – Leslie discusses orthorexia and the challenge of becoming overly focused on healthy eating. 20:14 – Primary food vs. secondary food: addressing emotional needs alongside nutrition. 22:11 – Why healing requires flexibility instead of perfection. 24:00 – Mid-episode invitation to schedule a free consultation with Leslie. 26:35 – How emotional needs often drive food choices and self-sabotaging behaviors. 29:00 – The role of community, support, and accountability in long-term change. 31:03 – Leslie discusses how personal growth often reveals deeper layers of healing. 34:15 – Dana shares her journey through perfectionism and restrictive dieting mindsets. 36:12 – Learning from setbacks and recognizing the body's responses to food choices. 39:00 – Finding balance between health goals and enjoying life's special occasions. 41:58 – Why becoming the CEO of your own health requires experimentation and self-trust. 43:56 – Dana shares her coaching programs and ways listeners can work with her. 45:00 – Final reflections on food freedom, health, and sustainable transformation. 46:11 – Closing remarks and information about Leslie's free Food Noise masterclass.

Today we're doing a chatty update on my muscle gain phase! Talking about rate of gain (and comparing this to people who think they might put on 3kg's every time they eat out

This conversation is not just about menopause symptoms. It is about what it actually feels like to live inside a changing female body in midlife. The grief, the confusion, the vanity, the softness, the strength, the reinvention. All of it. In this episode, I sit down with fitness hall of famer, JJ Virgin for a real conversation about what happens when your body starts changing in ways you did not expect, the things that stop working, and how to hold onto yourself while also becoming someone new. We talk about the reality of perimenopause and menopause when you are living it, not just teaching it. JJ shares what her own transition looked like, from thyroid changes and hormone shifts to body composition changes and the shrinking margin for error that comes with midlife. We get into why so many women feel blindsided by weight gain, why muscle changes everything, why early hormone support matters, and why the old advice to just eat less and exercise more completely misses the point. We also go into the emotional side of aging that women do not talk about enough. The pressure to look good. The decision to use Botox, fillers, or surgery. The freedom that can come with getting older. The shift into caring less about pleasing everyone else. And we talk about practical tools too, from strength training to creatine, aminos, GLP-1s, thyroid support, and how to approach midlife in a way that is proactive, honest, and actually helpful. This is a conversation about aging on your terms, with more power, more honesty, and a lot less shame. In this episode, we cover: What JJ's own perimenopause and menopause transition looked like Why thyroid changes can show up early in perimenopause Why midlife weight gain is not just about calories The truth about weight loss resistance in menopause Why estrogen support matters earlier than most women are told Why muscle is one of the most important things to focus on in midlife The bare minimum strength training women need for health and longevity JJ's thoughts on Botox, facelifts, and aging on your own terms The role of GLP-1s in menopause weight gain and metabolic health Why creatine and amino acids may be game changers for midlife women Who this episode is for: This episode is for women in perimenopause and menopause who feel like their body is changing faster than they expected and they are trying to figure out what to do next. It is especially for women dealing with weight gain, muscle loss, low confidence, changing hormones, thyroid issues, or the emotional side of aging and wanting a more honest, more empowering conversation about how to handle this season well.

Welcome to our Summer Fat Loss Series, where I'm helping you get into the best shape this summer without giving up your social life or favorite foods. Episode 1 is all about weekends because while it can feel easy to stay on track during the week when life has more structure… summer weekends filled with travel, beach days, BBQs, meals out, and spontaneous plans can make consistency feel nearly impossible. Instead of undoing your progress every weekend and feeling stuck losing and regaining the same few pounds, today's episode covers five realistic strategies I recommend to women who want to lose fat, get lean, and transform their body this summer — without feeling restrictive or obsessive. I'm sharing the exact approaches I use myself during a season where I genuinely love eating out, socializing, and indulging a little, plus the strategies I teach my clients to enjoy summer while still seeing progress. You'll walk away with simple goals for navigating restaurants, fitting in fun foods that actually feel worth it, and a practical strategy for handling higher-calorie summer foods (yes, ice cream and alcohol included) so they fit into your goals without sabotaging your results.

☎️ Book Your COMPLEMENTARY CONSULTATION and CALORIE CALCULATION Call: https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie unpacks leptin — the hormone made by your fat cells that tells your brain how much energy you have stored — and explains exactly why so many women in perimenopause and menopause develop leptin resistance, where the signal between the body and the brain breaks down. And here is the part most coaches miss: leptin resistance does not always show up as constant hunger. Some women are starving all day. Others barely have an appetite, eat 1,200 calories a day, and STILL gain weight. Both of them have a metabolism stuck in conservation mode. Both of them have leptin signaling that isn't getting through. The hunger is just a separate system that may or may not be screaming about it. If either of those is you, this is the episode that finally tells you why.

If you've been told you have PCOS — or maybe you were told you might have it and that's where the conversation stopped — this episode is for you. We're talking about what is actually happening inside your body with PMOS: the blood sugar instability, the inflammation, the gut connection, and why advice like "just lose weight" or "just go low carb" completely misses the mark. I'm also walking you through how I use the Dutch test in my practice to find the primary driver of your symptoms so we stop guessing and actually start getting somewhere.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why PCOS was officially renamed PMOS — and why that name change actually matters for youHow insulin resistance drives androgens up and why your body behaves so differently than someone without PMOS doing the exact same thingsWhy inflammation is likely the primary reason weight loss feels impossible — and why nobody has ever told you thatThe gut dysbiosis loop that keeps PMOS symptoms cycling and why carnivore or extreme low carb gives temporary relief before making things worseWhat the Dutch test actually shows on paper for a woman with PMOS — and why a standard serum lab draw keeps telling you everything looks fineWhy eating less is not the answer and what your body actually needs to start feeling betterWhat's included in the complete hormone package and how to get startedTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Welcome & Who This Episode Is For02:19 The Name Change: PCOS to PMOS08:56 What's Actually Happening In Your Body10:07 Blood Sugar Instability & Insulin Resistance12:27 Inflammation: The Primary Driver Nobody Talks About13:56 The Gut Connection & Gut Dysbiosis17:50 Why Carnivore & Low Carb Are Temporary Fixes20:32 The Dutch Test Story for PMOS23:18 What She Actually Needs Instead26:31 The Complete Hormone PackageRESOURCES:

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!A lot of people think fat loss means doing more cardio, more volume, and harder workouts. But in today's episode, I explain why that approach can actually hurt your recovery, performance, and long-term physique progress.I break down the difference between training during a fat loss phase versus outside of it, why building phases are where you should push training the hardest, and how to manage lifting, cardio, recovery, and overall output while dieting. I also go over why many people spin their wheels by chronically dieting, how recovery resources change in a deficit, and how to structure training more effectively for body composition goals.So if you've ever wondered how hard you should train during a cut, why performance drops in a deficit, or how to preserve muscle while losing fat, this episode is a must-listen.Let's talk about:IntroductionThe Biggest Fat Loss Training MisconceptionWhy Building Phases Matter MostIncreasing Volume Outside of Fat LossBody Part Specialization PhasesKeeping Intensity High During Building PhasesBuilding Cardiovascular Fitness Outside of Fat LossWhy More Fuel Improves Performance and RecoveryThe Goal of Training During Fat LossWhy You Shouldn't Increase Volume During a CutThe Best Rep Ranges During Fat LossManaging Cardio During Fat LossWhy Fat Loss Is Not the Time to Push PerformanceHow Low Calories and High Output BackfireFat Loss Is About Doing Enough, Not MoreMaintaining High Output During Fat LossHow Deficit Size Changes Training CapacityWhy Body Fat Levels Matter for RecompHow to Approach Steps During Fat LossKey Takeaways on Training and Fat LossFollow me on Instagram for more information and education:https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewformBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a

Eating “healthy” yet gaining weight over 40? 3 foods may be driving bloating, cravings, fatigue and stubborn menopause weight gain without you realising. Trinity 1:1 Coaching: www.trinitytransformation.co.uk

Why is it so hard to stop eating ultra-processed foods — even when you know they're hurting you? In Episode 13 of this 16-part series, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains why the real problem is not just the food itself. The real problem is the loop: Cue or emotional state → Wanting → Bargaining → Consumption → Temporary relief → Crash/regret → Repeat. This episode explores how ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods become attached to stress, boredom, loneliness, exhaustion, anxiety, and emotional discomfort — training the brain to seek relief through food. Key ideas from this episode: • Hunger is the body asking for nourishment • Wanting is the conditioned brain asking for the expected hit • The food is the bait. The loop is the trap. • The food breaks the feeling. It does not heal the source. • You cannot remove a counterfeit regulator without restoring real regulation. Dr. McCarthy breaks down why willpower alone often fails and why lasting change requires a physiologic off-ramp: stable meals, protein, fiber, hydration, sleep, movement, emotional regulation, cue reduction, social planning, and relapse repair. This is not about “perfect eating.” It is about building a life where food is no longer your primary regulator of stress, comfort, or identity. If you've ever felt trapped in cravings, emotional eating, binge-restrict cycles, or constant food noise, this episode is designed to help you understand the mechanism behind the loop — and how to begin leaving it.

I am delighted to connect with Sachin Patel today. Sachin is a father, husband, philanthropist, functional medicine practice success coach, speaker, author, breathwork facilitator, and plant medicine advocate. He is passionate about helping people activate their “inner doctor” through lifestyle medicine, breathwork, and greater self-awareness. Having had the privilege of knowing Sachin both personally and professionally, what stands out most is his unwavering commitment to helping people better understand their physiology so they can heal more effectively and live more intentionally. In today's conversation, we explore the connection between the autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and overall health. Sachin shares insights on breath dynamics, diaphragm function, coherent breathing, CO₂ tolerance, the Bohr effect, the physiologic sigh, and the often-overlooked role of repressed emotions in physical well-being. We also discuss the importance of nature, circadian rhythms, sunlight, temperature regulation, and Sachin offers his recommendations for women in midlife and beyond. I also highly recommend his new book, Breath, Balance, and Burn, which was recently released. Stay tuned for a fascinating conversation on breath, healing, and the daily habits that shape how we feel, function, and age. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How spending too much time in fight-or-flight mode prevents the body from entering a healing state How women's multiple roles and chronic stress, combined with midlife hormonal transitions, can create a “perfect storm” of sympathetic dominance and nervous system dysregulation How your breath reflects your emotional state  Why healing becomes difficult when the body remains in a fight-or-flight state The benefits of coherent breathing for oxygen delivery and nervous system regulation How the diaphragm serves as an access point to emotional regulation and nervous system control How our breathing patterns and nervous system state can influence the emotional state of others Sachin outlines practical techniques to help regulate stress, improve focus, increase energy, and prepare for sleep How modern indoor living disconnects people from their natural rhythms Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

If your muscles “remember” strength… do fat cells remember fat gain too?In this episode, we break down the real science behind fat cells, weight regain, metabolism, hunger hormones, and why your body fights so hard to maintain stability. We explain why fat loss can feel difficult to sustain and what actually happens when you lose body fat.We also dive into:The difference between muscle memory and “fat memory”Whether fat cells disappear when you lose weightWhy crash diets often backfireHormones, hunger cues, and metabolic adaptationWhy your body resists rapid weight lossThe truth about “destroying” fat cellsWhy stability matters more than extremesHow to work WITH your body instead of against itThank you to listener Carol G for inspiring this episode.

Social media wants you to believe your cortisol is high, that's why you can't lose weight, and here's a supplement to fix it. But what if your cortisol is actually low? What if your body is producing a ton of it and immediately deactivating it so you can't use any of it? What if the reason you're waking up at 2am has nothing to do with stress and everything to do with what you ate yesterday?In this episode — week two of the DUTCH test series — I'm clearing up the cortisol picture entirely. What it really is, what the DUTCH test actually shows us, and why guessing your cortisol is costing you years of trying everything and never feeling better.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why "cortisol face" isn't real — and what the internet is actually selling youThe three cortisol patterns I see most often on DUTCH tests (and how to recognize yourself in one of them)Why your body might be producing high cortisol and deactivating it so you can't use it — and what that looks like on a blood draw vs. a DUTCH testWhat late-stage adrenal burnout actually feels like from the insideWhy you're waking up at 2 or 3am — and the blood sugar connection nobody is talking aboutThe cortisol-muscle connection: why high cortisol breaks muscle down and low cortisol means your body won't invest in building itWhy you cannot out-supplement your cortisol pictureA real client story: how not eating enough was showing up as ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and total overwhelm — and what one simple change didTIMESTAMPS:00:14 Welcome & what we're covering today 02:14 Why social media gets cortisol wrong 04:27 What cortisol actually is and what your adrenal glands are doing 06:51 Pattern 1: High cortisol your body is deactivating (cortisone) 09:04 Pattern 2: Low cortisol — the late-stage adrenal burnout picture 12:51 Pattern 3: Wrong timing — cortisol at 2am and the blood sugar connection 14:06 The cortisol and muscle connection 19:25 Why you can't out-supplement your cortisol 21:43 Client story: ADHD, under-eating, and a cortisol picture that explained everything 25:15 What to do next + the Complete Hormone PackageRESOURCES:Book a Consultation — Complete Hormone Packagehttps:// l.bttr.to/EfG9n  — Not sure if this is right for you?

In this episode, we take a closer look at one of the biggest myths circulating online: that menopause itself is the main cause of midlife weight gain. We unpack why this message has gone viral, what the research actually says, and how wellness marketing often oversimplifies a much more complicated picture.We explore the science behind body composition changes in midlife, including findings from the SWAN study on fat distribution, and explain the difference between hormonal changes, abdominal fat, and overall weight gain. We also talk about the real drivers of weight gain in your 40s and 50s — aging, muscle loss, lower activity levels, stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and lifestyle shifts that often happen during this stage of life.In this conversation, we discuss:• menopause and weight gain myths• the truth about estrogen and belly fat• midlife metabolism changes• wellness misinformation targeting women over 40• body composition changes during menopause• SWAN study research on menopause and fat distribution• how stress and sleep affect weight in midlife• strength training and muscle loss in menopause• practical nutrition habits for women over 40• walking, resistance training, and healthy aging• hormone therapy conversations for menopause symptom reliefWe also share realistic, low-cost strategies that can support your health and help you feel stronger and more in control of your body, without falling for wellness hype or fear-based messaging.If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Today, I am honored to connect with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified OBGYN who has dedicated her entire adult life to championing women's health.  Dr. Haver is the visionary creator of the Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program ever designed by a female OBGYN for menopausal women.  In our conversation today, Dr. Haver shares her background, and we discuss her new book, The Galveston Diet. We examine the glaring systemic gap where the health of middle-aged women remains undervalued and underfunded in research, and our discussion touches on various facets of women's health, including perimenopausal symptoms, the distinction between chronological and endocrine aging, the scientific misconceptions surrounding weight gain and hormones, the advantages of intermittent fasting, inflammation, and macros. We also get into the supplements Dr. Haver finds beneficial for women in middle age, as well as the impact of non-nutritive sweeteners and the role of continuous glucose monitors. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Haver highlights various symptoms of perimenopause How menopause can increase health risks How muscle loss with aging can make women more insulin resistant and lead to cardiovascular changes How the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause can impact weight management What are the benefits of intermittent fasting for perimenopausal women? How a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors can help women prepare for menopause and manage its symptoms How sugar, alcohol, and gluten impact inflammation, insulin levels, and blood sugar How a lack of protein and the wrong types of fats can lead to hunger and satiety issues and lead to muscle breakdown and weight gain in menopausal women Dr. Haver talks about her book, The Galveston Diet How do non-nutritive sweeteners impact the gut microbiome and blood sugar levels?

In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. James LaValle to unpack the deeper metabolic patterns driving symptoms like fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, weight gain, hormone imbalances, brain fog, inflammation, and low energy. We dive into why the body cannot be viewed as isolated systems and how stress hormones, insulin, gut health, thyroid function, sex hormones, and inflammation are all deeply connected. Dr. LaValle shares how his Metabolic Code framework helps identify where people should actually begin when they feel overwhelmed by symptoms and conflicting health advice. We also have a great discussion about gut health as one of the biggest hidden drivers behind hormone dysfunction and metabolic chaos. We talk about GLP-1 medications, the right and wrong way to use peptides, why muscle mass matters more than most people realize, and how people can create real change without chasing quick fixes. Topics We Cover in This Episode:  Why your thyroid symptoms may actually be connected to stress hormones and gut dysfunction The hidden metabolic patterns that can quietly drive weight gain, fatigue, and hormone imbalance How inflammation and cortisol can interfere with nearly every hormone in the body What most people are getting completely wrong about GLP-1 medications and muscle loss Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and follow along so you never miss an episode.

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!A new study on body recomposition sparked a big conversation around maintenance calories, fat loss, and muscle gain. So in today's episode, I break down what the study actually showed, where the conclusions may be getting overhyped, and why context matters when talking about body recomp.I also explain why estimated maintenance calories are rarely exact, how body recomp actually works in the real world, why training intensity matters so much, and why people can still lose fat while their scale weight barely changes. So if you've been trying to build muscle while losing fat, feel stuck obsessing over calorie numbers, or want a more practical understanding of body recomp, this episode is a must-listen.Let's talk about:IntroductionNew studyTakeaway from the studyHow Researchers Estimated Maintenance CaloriesWhy Body Weight Staying Stable Can Still Mean Fat LossHow Deficit Size Impacts Fat LossBuilding Muscle in a DeficitNutrition PeriodizationYou Cannot Recomp ForeverWhy Exercise Creates Unique Body Comp EffectsOverfocusing on CaloriesFollow me on Instagram for more information and education:https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewformBody Recomp Checklist 2.0: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/26b5c9f94a

WHY DOES PROGRESS FEEL SO. MUCH. HARDER. NOW!?!!?I promise, your body didn't suddenly turn against you…but the way you've been trying to control it might not fit this season anymorethis is for the woman who feels like nothing changed, but everything feels harder. I'm joined by Amanda Thebe for the menopause conversation women actually need: we talk perimenopause, metabolism, weight gain, menopause belly, body recomposition, strength training, protein, sleep, recovery, cardio, zone 2, HIIT, alcohol, MHT, and body image. The core message is that menopause does not stop women over 35 or 40 from making progress, losing fat, building muscle, improving body composition, or feeling strong again. But it can change the conditions around the plan. Sleep can get worse, cravings can increase, recovery can drop, body shape can shift, motivation can change, and the emotional impact of feeling unlike yourself can make consistency much harder. If you've been feeling like your body is foreign, your old plan is not working the same, your stomach is suddenly where everything goes, or you're stuck between panic dieting and giving up, this episode will help you understand what is actually happening and what to focus on next. If this episode hits you, share it with a woman who needs to hear she is not broken. intelligent strength training matters more than just doing hard workoutsprotein and structured meals need to support your training, lifestyle AND recoveryand cardio STILL has value – but dosage and type matters a fktonne moreand yesbody image work must also be a part of this equation this podcast will give you hope and clear up some lies you've been told from gUrUs preying on your insecurities and fears menopause DOESN'T stop progress… but it does mean you cant wing it anymoreand the message I want to keep on drumming home to you is calories still matter, but so does the woman trying to execute themthe bouncing skittles (aka your estrogen now)  can deeply impact your sleep, hunger, cravings, recovery, motivation, body shape, emotional regulation, body image, and how easy it is to execute the plan trying to follow the same strategies… get tighter, stricter…trying to “stubborn your way through” another diet… another calorie cut… another I JUST WANT THIS WEIGHT OFF… will only set you up for more catastrophe so yeah – even if you ARE doing the same things…for most women, there will be elements you arent aware of that have changed, but for the small few who ARE on top of it all… as you have been most of your life – until now, its because those were broken strategies to begin with youre not being dramatic, I promised you aren't doomed – and no, you didn't suddenly get lazy…I get that last part can be a real fear, bc you fear letting yourself go.. getting too lazy and it getting “worse” you feel confused and honestly, a bit scared.“is this menopause, am I failing, or do I just not know what to do anymore?”“tell me there is a reason this feels harder, but also tell me I still have options.” this IS hard, you're not imagining it and it is NOT you – BUT…. we need to stop making it harder and more complicated than it needs to beits about DROWNING OUT THE NOISE so you can start doing the RIGHT things with MORE INTENT find me @transformxruby on instagram Apply for a free consult: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_link Direct link to DM me on IG:https://ig.me/m/transformxruby

But there's a piece of this conversation that almost never comes up in a doctor's office - and it's the reason so many women are doing everything right and still not feeling better.Including women who are already on HRT or have “normal” levels but still feel like crap.In this episode, I break down the part of estrogen metabolism that your lab results don't show you — and why it might be the missing piece that explains everything.IN THIS EPISODE• The real reason "normal estrogen" doesn't mean you'll feel normal• Why starting HRT can sometimes make symptoms worse before it makes them better — and what's actually going on when it does• The three roads estrogen can take through your body - and why two of them are working against you• What your gut has to do with your hormones (more than you think)• Things you can start this week — whether you're on HRT or not

Weight gain is not a moral failure. But we live in a culture that treats it like one. Ryann, Brooke, and Jess get into the identity shift that comes with a body that looks or feels different, why comparing yourself to a previous version of yourself is one of the least useful things you can do, and what it looks like to rebuild confidence when the scale is not moving in the direction diet culture tells you it should. They talk about goal pants, buying new clothes, and skinny culture trying to make it's comeback. Plus a real conversation about postpartum, weight class sports, athletic performance, and why the most exciting thing about you has never been what you weigh.

In this episode:I explore new research on how the combination of chronic stress and late-night eating may significantly increase digestive issues and negatively impact gut microbiome diversity. I break down the findings and share why aligning your meals with your circadian rhythm and supporting your body's “rest and digest” state can make a meaningful difference in your gut health.I also revisit my “Is This Normal?” quiz and walk you through four commonly overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper imbalances in the body. From facial puffiness and post-meal hunger to undigested food and irregular cycles, I explain how these signs may be connected to hormones, digestion, and blood sugar regulation.Links mentioned during this episode:Is This Normal FREE Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/DrqW4qlvLate night eating research: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260429102026.htmIs This Normal blog post: bit.ly/lyonsisthisnormalFree Initial Consultation: https://p.bttr.to/3a9lfYkJoin our free weekly newsletter: www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thelyonsshareLyons' Share website: www.thelyonsshare.org

Your labs came back normal. You're eating well, working out, doing everything right — and you're still gaining weight, waking up soaked in sweat, foggy by noon, and barely recognizing your own mood. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that's happening, what the DUTCH test actually shows us that standard bloodwork misses, and why perimenopause might not be the only thing driving your symptoms.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why you can have low estrogen and estrogen dominance at the same time — and what that does to your bodyWhat perimenopause actually looks like hormonally (hint: it's not a slow decline — it's chaos)Why night sweats are your body's last-resort detox mechanismThe difference between perimenopause being a bumpy road vs. your wheels completely falling offWhy HRT might not be working for you — and what needs to be in place firstHow I personally lost 10 lbs in 8-10 weeks once I had the right dataTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Welcome from the new office 02:20 Reiki services + in-person consultations in Tea, SD 04:25 Why I skipped two weeks of podcasting 07:30 Introducing the DUTCH Test series 08:57 Perimenopause, weight gain, and hormone detox — what's the connection? 12:54 My personal story: unexplained weight gain, night sweats, and brain fog 14:49 What my DUTCH test revealed 16:41 Estrogen dominance with low estrogen — how that's possible 18:53 What I changed and how I felt within 8-10 weeks 20:00 The perimenopause car analogy 22:38 What estrogen and progesterone actually do for your body 24:29 When it's not perimenopause — it's your environment 26:49 Why HRT isn't working for some women 28:10 The Complete Hormone Package — what's included 35:01 How to get startedRESOURCES:

If you've hit your 40s and suddenly feel like you're losing it, waking up at 3 a.m., feeling on edge for no reason, exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix, I want you to hear this: it might not be anxiety. It might be perimenopause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bojana Jankovic Weatherly, a double board-certified physician in internal and integrative medicine, to talk about the symptoms most of us are normalizing and most doctors are missing. We get into why progesterone decline shows up as anxiety, insomnia, and those 3 a.m. wake-ups long before any hot flash ever does, and why so many women in this stage of life are sent home with an antidepressant or an Ambien instead of an honest conversation about their hormones.  That's medical gaslighting, and it's stealing years of quality of life from women in their 40s. We talk about why hormone testing isn't the answer, what to track instead, and when to ask your doctor about progesterone even if you're still getting a regular period.  If you've been told to lose some weight, try meditation, or just push through, this one is for you. You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're hormonal, and there is so much we can actually do about it. Self Gaslighting yourself in the exam room?

In this empowering episode of Got HER Back, Carrie and Meg break down the latest season of Temptation Island and the powerful lessons it reveals about women, self-worth, and accepting the bare minimum in relationships.   From watching exhausted girlfriends rediscover their confidence on the island to the wake-up call their partners face at every bonfire, the conversation tackles why women mentally check out long before men ever notice — and why "when you're done, you're done."   Plus: the truth about nice guys vs. hot guys, how a woman treats you at the beginning vs. the end of a relationship, Carrie's promposal story, a Bali "blind healer" moment, GLP-3 talk, and Meg's reminder that bare minimum can't be your maximum.

What if the reason belly fat won't budge after 40… has nothing to do with willpower—and everything to do with your gut? In this powerful episode, Ben Azadi sits down with Cynthia Thurlow to unpack the real reason women struggle with weight gain, fatigue, and hormonal chaos in midlife. Drawing from her new book, The Menopause Gut, Cynthia explains why perimenopause and menopause are far more complex than just declining estrogen—and why the gut microbiome may be the missing piece most women (and doctors) overlook. They break down how stress, sleep, muscle loss, ultra-processed foods, and hidden hormonal shifts create the perfect storm for weight loss resistance. You'll also discover why common “healthy habits” like excessive cardio, under-eating protein, or over-fasting can actually make things worse. If you've ever felt like your body stopped responding after 40, this episode will completely change how you approach fat loss, hormones, and long-term health.
