EP 253. How I Lost Fat & Gained Muscle: My Perimenopause Progress Report


What if you could lose body fat, gain lean muscle, and raise your metabolism in just 30 days, without counting every carb or signing your soul over to spin class?

In this episode, I’m giving you the real-deal, behind-the-scenes breakdown of my May wellness update. I’ll show you exactly what I did (and didn’t do) to get these results in perimenopause and why scale weight is the least interesting thing about my body right now.

I’m not on HRT (at the moment). I didn’t track every bite. I didn’t punish myself with two-a-days. I honed a few healthy habits, and the biggest flex? I became a more powerful, peaceful, self-trusting version of me.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why I ditched “body recomposition” and focused on weight + wellness

  • The 7 exact things I did to lose fat + build muscle in perimenopause

  • How I raised my metabolism without supplements or peptides

  • The water + electrolyte trick that changed my digestion + cortisol

  • Why mindset—not macros—is the true secret to midlife body change
