Perimenopause, Weight Loss, and the Secret to Simplifying Mealtime with Ashley Malik

Are you in your 30s or 40s feeling like your body is suddenly working against you?   You’re not alone—and you’re definitely not crazy. In this episode, I chat with women’s weight loss coach, mom of two, and grandmother of one,Ashley Malik, about what’s really going on during perimenopause—and how to eat in a way that actually works with your hormones, not against them.   Ashley shares how she lost 65 pounds in her late 40s, how she healed her body through food after years of health struggles, and how you can simplify healthy eating even with a house full of picky eaters. We talk about: •What anti-inflammatory nutrition really looks like (and how it impacts hormones) •The sneaky signs of perimenopause  •How to stop “starting over” with your health goals •Ashley’s game-changing “3-nights-a-week” cooking strategy •Why mindset is the missing piece for so many moms   Whether you’re exhausted, frustrated, or just trying to feel like yourself again, this episode is packed with encouragement, doable tips, and the reminder that you’re not alone.   I’d love to hear from you!
