In this episode, we’re breaking down why men lose weight faster, build muscle easier, and seem to bounce back from...

In this episode of The Menopause Method , we’re talking about National Quitters Day —that infamous second Friday of January when most New Year’s resolutions start to fizzle out. Why do so many goals fall short?  It’s often the all-or-nothing mindset that trips us up. Instead of rigid resolutions, I’m advocating for intentions —a flexible, forgiving approach to progress.  We’ll talk about the impor...

In this episode of The Menopause Method , we’re setting intentions, not resolutions —because strict goals set us up for frustration, but intentional shifts? They create real change.

In this episode of The Menopause Method , we’re breaking up with the scale—because your worth isn’t measured in pounds .

I’ll unpack why the scale is just one...

Welcome back to The Menopause Method!  Today, we’re tackling the holiday weight creep —because let’s be real, menopause already makes weight management tricky, and the holidays? They don’t help. Between hormonal shifts, extra holiday treats, and less movement , it’s easy to feel like the odds are stacked against you. But don’t worry—I’ve got real, doable strategies to help you enjoy the season wit...

In this episode of The Menopause Method, we’re tackling one of the biggest struggles in menopause— weight gain and low energy. I break down why diet culture’s old-school tactics (think extreme calorie-cutting and endless cardio) actually work against you in midlife.
