Perimenopause has become one of the loudest and confusing conversations in health and wellness

In this episode, Aimee Richardson cuts through the noise to unpack what’s actually happening to your body during perimenopause, and what’s just fear-based marketing designed to sell you supplements, programs, and panic.

Drawing from both lived experience and evidence-based research, Aimee explores metabolism myths, fat gain fears, cortisol anxiety, insulin resistance, GLP-1 chatter, and the emotional weight of body changes in midlife. You’ll learn why menopause does not automatically slow your metabolism, what really drives body composition changes, and why you don’t need a “special” perimenopause diet or workout plan to take care of yourself.

This episode also goes deeper into body image, aging, fat phobia, and the profound identity shift that comes with this stage of life. If you’re navigating perimenopause and feeling overwhelmed, betrayed by your body, or pressured to “fix” yourself, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded path forward.
