Why "Eat Less, Move More" Fails Women in Perimenopause - And What to do Instead

Have you been cutting calories, working out harder, and still not seeing the scale move? You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong.


In this empowering episode of The Ageless and Awesome Podcast, I unpack why traditional weight loss advice fails women in their 40s and beyond—and what actually works instead.


What we cover in this episode:


✨ The truth about the “eat less, move more” myth—and why it backfires in perimenopause
 🧬 How hormonal shifts like oestrogen decline, cortisol spikes, and insulin resistance affect your metabolism
 💪 Real, evidence-based strategies that actually support weight loss at this stage of life
 🥗 Why your liver, muscles, and sleep habits are key to resetting your metabolism
 🧠 The mindset shift that helps you move from fighting your body to working with it


Whether you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just curious about why your usual tricks aren’t working anymore—this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take a more compassionate and strategic approach to your body and your health.


🎧 Listen now and discover what it really takes to lose weight and feel incredible in perimenopause and beyond.
