-How a sluggish thyroid makes weight loss impossible

-The exact testing you need to identify your hormone imbalances

The truth is, weight loss after 40 isn't about eating less or exercising more—it's about understanding which hormones are out of balance. Whether you're dealing with insulin resistance, high cortisol from chronic stress, or a sluggish thyroid, identifying the root cause is the first step to finally losing that stubborn weight.

As a board-certified OB/GYN and Functional Medicine doctor, I've helped hundreds of women navigate perimenopause using strategic supplementation.

In this episode, I'm sharing exactly which supplements for perimenopause I recommend most often—and more importantly, WHY they work and HOW to know which ones you specifically need.

If you're experiencing perimenopause symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, or sleep problems, strategic supplementation can be a game-changer. But there's no one-size-fits-all approach—what works for your friend might not work for you.

Are you eating clean, working out, but that stubborn belly fat just won't budge? The truth is—it's not about willpower, it's about hormones.

✅ How cortisol (your stress hormone) stores fat in the belly

✅ Why belly fat is more sensitive to stress than other areas

✅ The "perfect storm" of hormones, toxins, sleep, and diet that stalls weight loss

✅ Practical strategies to lower cortisol, balance hormones, and finally shrink stubborn belly fat
