She Lost Weight, So Why Can't I?

from The Family Fork: Nutrition For Moms In Perimenopause · host Ashley Malik

Ever looked at your colleague, your neighbor, or your sister who is successfully losing weight in midlife and quietly wondered "why can't I?!" It doesn't have anything to do with willpower, hormones, or how disciplined she is. In this episode, I'm sharing the one thing that quietly drives every health outcome you have — and how to start building it for yourself.Here's the hard truth: your success (in any area of your life) is directly correlated to your ability to manage risk. In this episode I walk you through what risk really is when it comes to your body, your health, and your weight (hint: it's not what you think), and why high-achieving women who take risks all day long at work often get stuck the moment it comes to advocating for their own health. I share three real examples — the gym, a girls' weekend with my student Kathy, and my own New Year's Eve story — to help you see exactly where your relationship with risk might be holding you back. This is the kind of work I do every week with my students inside The Perimenopause Weight Loss Method, and is likely the missing piece you've been looking for.What You'll Learn- Why your ability to manage risk is the quiet driver behind every health outcome you've ever had- The sneaky reason successful career women can't seem to follow through on their own health goals- What's actually happening in your brain and body the moment you consider doing something new for yourself- Why the woman next to you who is losing weight isn't smarter or more disciplined than you — she's just doing this one thing differently- How to start building your risk tolerance the same way you'd build a muscle- The one question to ask yourself this week to see exactly where you're stuckResources and Ways To Connect- Explore the Perimenopause Weight Loss Method- FREE 21-Day Anti-Inflammatory Guide- DM me on Instagram and tell me where you see your relationship with risk- Learn more about working with me
