Perimenopause and the Weight Loss Plateau: What's Really Going On and What to Do About It

Hitting a weight loss plateau in your 40s or 50s — even when you're eating well and exercising — can be incredibly frustrating. In this episode, we break down what's really happening during perimenopause and why your usual strategies may stop working. You'll learn how fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels affect metabolism, muscle mass, and fat storage — and why sleep, stress, and overtraining can make progress even harder. We explain what actually works during this stage: prioritizing protein, strength training to maintain muscle and bone, managing cortisol, and supporting your nervous system through chiropractic care. If you've been feeling stuck, this episode will help you understand your changing physiology — and show you how to adapt, rebuild, and move forward feeling stronger and more balanced.
