Episode 112: Navigating Weight Gain in Perimenopause

On today's episode of Empowered in Health, I share more of my story around body image, weight gain, weight loss resistance and the struggle I've been experiencing over the past year+. I've gained 20 pounds and for me, as someone who's extremely passionate about health and wellness, that's been an alarming experience for me. My habits feel the same. My effort feels the same. My grit and determination feels the same. But things aren't the same. At all. Metabolic Health is SO important when it comes to longevity and thriving throughout our life. In this season of uncomfortable truth... It's forced me to get real and honest and evaluate my habits on deeper levels. It's forced me to say goodbye to products and supplements I've loved. It's forced me to get educated and link arms with knowledgable practitioners that understand female physiology and can guide me through this life transition. There have been very few things about this life transition that have felt "easy". But I'm a firm believer that the hard is what helps us most in life. The refining can be one of the most powerful gifts along our growth journey. While it's easy to feel defeated, lost, overwhelmed, discouraged - don't forget, we can always make the choice to lean into the feelings and actions that will serve us (not defeat us even more). If you're in a season of defeat in your health journey - just know you're not alone. If you've gained weight, you're working to improve habits, if you're tired of putting in the effort and not seeing the results you crave - you're not alone there either. HOWEVER - that's not the energy to sit in, deal? Instead - get CURIOUS. Stay hope filled. And embrace that there are answers! I pray that my story offers you some level of encouragement today.
