Beyond the scales - Why I’m done talking about weight loss in perimenopause

In this episode of the Vital Shift Podcast, I discuss a shift in my business and the promise I make to women who join my signature Lean, Strong and Thriving program - away from a focus on just weight loss and toward a more comprehensive focus on shedding unwanted belly fat. I explain the importance of addressing body composition, minimizing belly fat, and improving metabolic health. I highlight the three key factors that contribute to unwanted weight gain during perimenopause: loss of muscle massdecreased movementand disrupted sleep.I also elaborate on how these factors lead to insulin resistance and visceral fat storage. The episode concludes by emphasizing the program's holistic approach, structured around the pillars of lifting, fuelling and sleeping to ensure women attain long-lasting health benefits. - as well as look smoking hot in midlife. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:05 The Shift in My Business Focus00:43 Beyond the Scale: True Health Goals02:12 Targeting Belly Fat and Metabolic Health03:48 Understanding Perimenopausal Weight Gain05:34 The Vital Shift Method: Lift, Fuel, Sleep06:03 Conclusion and New PromiseConnect with Sarah on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Explore Sarah's ⁠⁠⁠⁠Lean, Strong and Thriving ⁠⁠⁠⁠ProgramBook a ⁠⁠⁠⁠lifestyle roadmap call⁠⁠⁠⁠ if you're ready to get Sarah's support to shed unwanted belly fat by getting lean and strong for life
