Weight Loss

For many women, weight gain during perimenopause feels sudden and confusing. The habits that once worked stop delivering results. The scale becomes unpredictable. Fat seems to settle in new places, especially around the abdomen. It’s easy to assume the answer is more control. Fewer calories. Harder workouts. More discipline. But perimenopause isn’t a failure of …

Many people believe that the faster they exercise and the stricter they diet, the quicker the fat will melt. It seems simple: burn more calories, lose more fat.

Ever feel exhausted, craving snacks, and still not losing weight? The answer may not be more workouts, it might be the breaks you’re skipping.

Letting go of weight loss myths can feel unsettling. For many women, those rules have been followed for years, sometimes decades. Even when they no longer work, they offer a sense of structure and certainty. But once old beliefs begin to loosen, a new question naturally appears: If those rules aren’t true, then what actually …

Most people approach weight loss thinking more is better: more workouts, more intensity, more discipline. But often, the missing piece isn’t effort. It’s rest.
