If weight loss feels harder than it used to—even though you’re trying more—you’re not imagining it. And you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode, I’m breaking down 12 common weight loss mistakes midlife women make, not because of lack of willpower, but because we’ve been given outdated advice that doesn’t fit midlife bodies. As estrogen shifts, stress hormones rise, and metabolism changes, the old “eat less, move more” approach often backfires. Weight loss in midlife isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing things differently, with more support, consistency, and patience. In this video, we talk about: - Why your body doesn’t respond like it did in your 20s and 30s - How eating too little and skipping meals can stall fat loss - The hidden role of stress and poor sleep - Why protein, strength training, and consistency matter more than intensity - Why the scale is not the best measure of progress in midlife At the end, I’ll invite you to try one simple experiment—just one—to support your body this week without overwhelm. 🤍 Free Support & Resources - Book a free Midlife Wellness Call: https://healthyhermidlife.com/coaching - Download the free Midlife Metabolic Reset Guide: https://healthyhermidlife.com/reset If this episode helped you feel more understood, please like, subscribe, or leave a review—it helps me reach more amazing women navigating midlife just like you.

Menopause: Why Your Stress Tolerance Is Gone #menopausesymptoms
Have you been feeling more overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated in midlife—even though you’re doing “everything right?" In this video, I’m breaking down three midlife symptoms most women don’t realize are hormone-related—and why understanding this can completely change how you approach your health. We’re talking about: ✔️ Low stress tolerance and irritability ✔️ Energy crashes and mid-afternoon fatigue ✔️ Stubborn midlife weight changes These symptoms are often dismissed as aging, personality changes, or lack of willpower—but they’re actually tied to real shifts in estrogen, cortisol, blood sugar regulation, and metabolism. In this episode, you’ll learn: What’s really happening inside your body after 40 Why your midlife body no longer tolerates extremes Simple, gentle steps that support hormones instead of fighting them This isn’t about dieting harder or pushing more. It’s about working with your body’s new needs—calmer rhythms, better nourishment, and sustainable habits. ✨ If this video resonates: Book a free 20-minute Midlife Wellness Call 👉 https://healthyhermidlife.com/coaching Download the free Midlife Metabolic Reset Guide 👉 https://healthyhermidlife.com/reset 👍 Like, subscribe, and share this with a midlife friend who needs reassurance that it’s not her fault.

STOP Food Guilt: Your Compassion Reset for Holidays! #shorts
The holidays can bring out the best… and the most stressful moments around food. One cookie tray, one party, one late-night snack—and suddenly it feels like you’ve “blown it” and should just wait until January to start over. If that’s been your pattern year after year, this episode is going to feel like a breath of relief. Today, I’m sharing 3 simple tools that help you enjoy holiday food without guilt, without spiraling, and without trying to be perfect. These tools are designed especially for midlife women, when our hormones, stress levels, and metabolism make food triggers feel even stronger. You’ll learn how to pause before emotional eating, how to stop at “satisfied,” and how to reset after overeating without shame. This is about supporting your nervous system, honoring your real needs, and staying connected with your body during a very emotional season.

Have you ever seen a photo of yourself or caught your reflection and thought, “Who even is that?” Midlife body changes can feel shocking — and sometimes heartbreaking. But losing confidence in this season isn’t a personal failure. It’s a normal response to a major identity transition.

You’ll learn three powerful confidence-building strategies that have nothing to do with dieting, restriction, or changing your body: ✨ Reconnecting with who you are beyond your appearance ✨ Practicing the same compassion you effortlessly give others ✨ Moving your body in ways that make you feel alive again WATCH NEXT: More Midlife Support & Confidence Tools ➡️ Why Midlife Weight Gain Feels So Hard — and What Actually Helps https://youtu.be/XZJfzX3IfGE?si=ZlHocXiTV0JIrEhF ➡️ 3 Quick Tips to Beat Hot Flashes Naturally https://youtu.be/3JCAEXP-xm4?si=waGwKZ5L_79z2UmL ➡️ 5 Simple Nutrients That Fight Menopause Fatigue (No Caffeine Needed) https://youtu.be/xA5pH0JKkbM?si=Epe2-WY4Tzol63xW ➡️ The 3-Minute Reset for Midlife Stress https://youtu.be/rnBRs-ZZSNE?si=cm1xWSgFWsz4j_aK LINKS: 👉 Download your free Midlife Metabolic Reset Guide: https://healthyhermidlife.com/reset (Helps with energy, bloating, and habits that support confidence from the inside out.) 👉 Holiday Coaching Special: 5 private coaching sessions for $50 Join the waitlist here: https://healthyhermidlife.com/waitlist If this episode speaks to you, hit like, subscribe, and share it with another woman in midlife who deserves to feel good in her body again.
