Forever. Friday weekly newsletter I want you to meet Heather Hanson. She hit 45, perimenopause arrived uninvited, and the scale crept up 30 pounds over two years despite doing everything right. Losing weight in perimenopause felt impossible until she stopped trying to fix her diet and started fixing her identity instead. Heather came into Learn and Lose as a self-described sugar addict who had already tried detoxes, restriction, and willpower. Six months later she had lost 25 pounds, sailed through an entire holiday season without gaining an ounce, and walked away with something no diet ever gave her: a completely different relationship with food, stress, and herself. In this episode, Heather and I get into the real story behind her transformation. Not the highlight reel. The plateaus, the office full of snacks, the stressful commute, the moments she almost quit. And the one shift that made all of it work.   FEATURED ON THE SHOW / RESOURCES Schedule a Weight Loss Consultation with Jennifer Follow me on Instagram: @JenniferDentBrown Website: JenniferDent.com Get More From Your Favorite Podcast!
