#65 - What’s Truly Happening In Your Body During Midlife with Dr. Heather Awad

Have you noticed that the things that used to work — the way you ate, the way you exercised, the way you managed yourself — just don't work anymore?Your body is changing… and no one really prepared you for this. In this conversation, I sit with Dr. Heather Awad to explore what’s truly happening in women's bodies during the menopause transition — from hormonal shifts and weight gain to emotional eating and self-criticism. But more than that, we open a different path, one rooted in awareness, nourishment, and self-trust. 🦋 You'll Discover:Why the sudden weight gain, sleeplessness, and cravings aren't your fault — and what hormones are actually doing to your body right now.What emotional eating really looks like in midlife — and why most women don't even recognize they're doing it.How self-compassion isn't soft — it's the only strategy that actually makes lasting weight loss possible and liveable. 💜 Coming Home Question:Where have you been fighting your body — treating it like something broken to be fixed — and what might become possible if you chose, just for today, to nourish it instead? ✨ Dr. Heather AwadVibrant Menopause Weight Loss Website: https://vibrant-md.comVibrant-MD PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherawadmdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathervibrantmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherawadmdYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@heatherawadmd7858Free Gift for Listeners: https://vibrant-md.com/breakfast🥁 The Leading From Pleasure 5-Week Journey, it's open for enrolment.
