"No need to cut out specific foods to lose weight; all foods can fit into a healthy diet." - Justine Jeddy
This week on the podcast I'm joined by Justine Jeddy, an evidence-based health and nutrition coach specializing in women's fitness and nutrition. And I wanted to get to the truth about diet culture, weight and nutrition in perimenopause, menopause and midlife.
We debunk myths and clear up misconceptions about metabolism and insulin resistance, discuss the (surprising) long term impact of diets on weight loss, and address the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. Justine also offers strategies for navigating hunger, cravings, and fatigue. It's a must-listen for women in midlife!
Discover Justine's "2 thirds method" for balanced meals and her insights on importance of structured, balanced meals for sustained energy.
I had a lot of questions and used my own experience of midlife weight gain to understand the truth behind some of the weight and health misconceptions that are currently doing the rounds!
Tune in to gain valuable insights and be inspired to prioritize your health and well-being in midlife and beyond. Let's navigate this midlife journey together, prioritizing our health and embracing the power of community and support.

"I was much more able to access that vitality and that passion and joy just through being alive. Not because anything incredible had happened, but just from being alive." In my early adulthood, I became really good at tolerating stress and distress—a skill that served me well at the time. But what if that excessive tolerance is now draining your vitality, joy, and life satisfaction?We all have blind spots, that is the nature of being human, and in this episode I open up about my personal journey through perimenopause and midlife, sharing my own blind spots and how I came to see things with fresh eyes.We explore the fine line between healthy distress tolerance and what I call "maladaptive tolerance," where psychological endurance starts to hold you back.We discuss the difference between resilience and chronic distress tolerance, and how it might be keeping you stuck, limiting your ability to make meaningful changes in your life.We also examine where you might tolerate too much, missing opportunities for greater vitality and passion.This episode is all about regulating your tolerance to distress and bringing it back into the zone of vitality.Ready for an eye-opening conversation?
