S8- Ep.5: PERIMENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE, IF YOU’RE EATING LESS AND TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
PERIMENOPAUSE AND MENOPAUSE: IF YOU’RE EATING LESS AND TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ⬇️
If you are in perimenopause or menopause and your body feels different, and your response has been to adjust food or increase output, we need to talk.
The most common complaints I get from women are not just “weight gain.”
It is waking up at 2 a.m. wired.
It is feeling puffy no matter how “clean” you eat.
It is bloating after meals that never used to bother you.
It is working out the same but feeling weaker.
It is looking in the mirror and not recognizing who you are anymore.
It is feeling like your body is unpredictable.
So you try to manage it. You pull back on food. You add more cardio. You tighten structure. You tell yourself you just need to dial it in again.
And instead of feeling better, you feel more inflamed, more tired, more frustrated.
You feel like you have lost yourself. That is the loop.
This episode is about breaking that loop.
We talk about why midlife shifts make your body more stress-sensitive. Why under-fueling makes you feel worse, not better. Why muscle becomes protective. Why nervous system stability matters and self-talk more than discipline right now.
You are not crazy for wanting to feel comfortable in your body.
You are also not required to punish it into compliance.
There is a way to stabilize your energy, feel stronger, sleep deeper, and feel more at home in your body without shrinking it.

S8-Ep.4: When Exercise Becomes Emotional Regulation and How We Rebuild Trust With Movement
Exercise helps a lot of people feel better. It can calm anxiety, improve mood, sharpen focus, and create a sense of confidence in the body. For many, it becomes one of the most reliable ways they’ve ever regulated stress.
But when exercise becomes the primary or only way emotions get processed or avoided, it starts to carry more responsibility than it should.
In this episode, Leah breaks down why exercise so often turns into an emotional coping strategy, how that pattern shows up differently depending on your nervous system state, and what it actually means to heal your relationship with movement without taking it away.
You’ll learn:
How fight, flight, freeze, and fawn patterns show up in exercise behaviors
Why intensity, restriction, avoidance, or comparison can feel regulating at first
How these patterns evolve over time with stress, injury, pregnancy, and burnout
What rebuilding trust with movement looks like from a nervous system perspective
This episode is educational & physiology-based... It’s for anyone who has ever felt like movement helps… but also feels complicated.
If this episode resonated and you want support rebuilding a safer, more sustainable relationship with exercise, you can follow and message Leah on Instagram @leahhantmancoaching or email Leah@empoweredrx.org to learn more about working together.
