Ep. 103 Why Eating Less and Exercising More Backfires in Menopause

Are you eating less, exercising more, and still not seeing results in menopause? You've probably been told it's a willpower problem—but that advice is flat-out wrong. In this episode, I break down why "trying harder" backfires in midlife, why your symptoms aren't a sign of weakness, and what your body actually needs to reset. You'll learn why calorie restriction and over-exercising fuel stress hormones instead of fixing them, how cortisol, metabolism, and your nervous system collide during menopause, and the three things that actually help your body release weight and energy without diets or quick fixes. I'm also introducing my 3R Framework—Regulate, Rebuild, and Reignite—and how it flips the script on everything you've been told about menopause care.
