Perimenopause Weight Loss: 5-Step Framework for Success (Part 2)

from The Family Fork: Nutrition For Moms In Perimenopause · host Hosted by Ashley Malik | Insights inspired by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Mel Robbins

Juggling perimenopause, family, and weight loss goals can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems like you’ve tried every diet under the sun and nothing sticks. In the previous episode, we talked about the nuts and bolts of nutrition and fitness strategy—the "what" of losing weight. Today, we are digging into the "how," and it has nothing to do with your gym membership. I’m taking you off the "DIY" treadmill and putting you on my therapist’s couch (metaphorically, of course!). As a certified mindset coach (and a former therapist!), I know that your brain, thoughts, and feelings are the primary drivers of your success or failure. If you feel resentful about cooking separate meals or hopeless because the scale won't budge, those feelings are exactly why you shut down and quit. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact 5-step framework I use with my private coaching clients in The Method. We’ll talk about why your "primal brain" is wired to keep you safe and predictable (which usually means keeping you stuck and overweight) and how to rewire those neural pathways so healthy habits become your new default. Grab a notebook and a pen, friend. This is a high-level coaching session designed to help you stop hiding and start healing. What you’ll learn in this episode:📌 Why "safe and predictable" thinking is the biggest obstacle to your transformation.📌 How to identify the specific feelings (like inadequacy and resentment) that are sabotaging your progress. 📌 The 5-step goal-setting framework that puts your mindset at the forefront.📌 How to redefine failure, and what it looks likeLinks Mentioned and Ways To Connect🙋‍♀️ Work with Me ⭐️ Connect on Social🥑 How I Cook Just 3 Nights/Week🧠 Mindset Framework to Stop Relying On Willpower or Motivation
