About Nutrition Your Way

It's Not JUST Menopause is a no-BS podcast for midlife women who are dealing with menopause weight gain, hormone chaos, and metabolism struggles, and want real solutions, not another restrictive diet or magic pill. Hosted by Cindi Stickle, Functional Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Menopause Specialist, this show offers practical, science-backed guidance for women who are ready to understand what's actually happening in their bodies and fix it. This podcast delivers clear, straightforward conversations around menopause symptoms, nervous system support, metabolism changes, hormone balance, stress management, and what it really takes to feel like yourself again during perimenopause and menopause. We’ll answer questions like: -Why am I gaining weight during menopause even though nothing has changed? -Do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work for weight gain during menopause? -How does menopause affect metabolism? -What should I eat during menopause to lose weight and feel better? -Why am I so tired and foggy in menopause? -Can you take a GLP-1 with HRT? -How does stress make menopause symptoms worse? -What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause? -Can menopause affect your nervous system? This show provides women in midlife with tools, strategies, and perspective to move beyond quick fixes and toward real metabolic healing, addressing the root causes of weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalance. If you want to learn how to navigate menopause in a way that actually works for your body and leads to sustainable energy, confidence, and health, you're in the right place.
