What really happens to your body and mind during perimenopause and menopause-and why do so many women feel blindsided by the changes? In this candid conversation, Shannon sits down with menopause specialist Kathy Cote to talk about the myths, mindsets, and metabolic shifts that shape women’s health in midlife.
Kathy shares:
- Her personal journey from gym rat and chronic dieter to empowered menopause coach
- The exhaustion, hair loss, and adrenal issues that came from years of overexercising and under-eating
- Why “eat less, exercise more” backfires for women in perimenopause and menopause-and what actually works instead
- The emotional rollercoaster of weight gain, fatigue, and feeling out of control, even when “doing everything right”
- How she finally broke the cycle by hiring a coach, dialing back cardio, building muscle, and fueling her body for real change
- The importance of shifting from a “burn to earn” mindset to one of nourishment, strength, and metabolic health
- Why weekend overeating and under-fueling during the week sabotage progress-and how to create sustainable habits that last
Tune in for a refreshingly real discussion about aging, hormones, and the freedom that comes from understanding your body, letting go of old diet rules, and embracing a new, empowered approach to midlife wellness.
