In this episode, host Vicky sits down with Michelle Bazinet, Certified Menopause Coach, fitness professional, and creator of the Midlife Magic program, to explore the truth about perimenopause, menopause, and women’s health in midlife.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand why nutrition choices feel harder than workouts (and how to simplify them)
- Spot the hidden impact of cortisol, poor sleep, and late-night cravings on belly fat
- Be “calorie curious” instead of calorie obsessed and why it matters for sustainable weight management
- Use movement beyond the gym (yes, those 10K steps are more important than you think)
- Create healthy habits that stick without restriction or all-or-nothing thinking
- Balance hormones, stress, and lifestyle choices through Michelle’s 7 Pillars for Effective Weight & Hormone Management
- Shift your mindset so weight loss isn’t about perfection, but about dancing in the gray
Michelle also shares her own midlife journey—from gaining 25 pounds as a health professional to discovering how mindset, consistency, and gradual changes helped her loose the weight without dieting.
👉 If you’ve ever felt like your body is out of control during perimenopause or menopause, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and practical strategies to take back your health.
