Weight Loss in Midlife: The go-to podcast for busy women over 40 ready to balance their hormones, lose fat, and feel strong for life.


You know what you should be doing to lose weight… but between work, family, hormones, and zero time for yourself, it feels impossible to stay consistent. One dinner out turns into a weekend spiral. You skip your workout because you’re exhausted. Stress hits, and suddenly you’re standing in the pantry again. And that “I’ll start Monday” diet cycle? You know it all too well.


If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place, beautiful. Especially if you’re ready to stop the all-or-nothing cycle, balance your hormones, and finally lose fat for the last time.


This is the podcast for midlife women who want to feel confident, rebuild energy, and finally understand how to work with their changing metabolism during perimenopause. Inside each episode, we’ll simplify fat loss using macros, mindset shifts, better sleep, and exercise that fits your busy real life.


Hi, I’m Jennifer—a wife, mom of three boys, and certified women’s coach. I spent years trapped in that exhausting pattern of restricting during the week, overeating on weekends, and feeling like my willpower was the problem. But it wasn’t me. It was the approach.


After years of frustration, I discovered a new way rooted in science, sustainability, and grace. I learned how to use macros, mindset, and muscle to navigate perimenopause, balance hormones, and finally create a body (and life) that feels amazing.


Now, I help other women do the same.


On this podcast, I’ll teach you how to:
✔️Use macros to fuel your metabolism and lose fat without restriction
✔️ Exercise smarter with strength training and progressive overload (not endless cardio)
✔️ Improve sleep and stress so your body can actually respond
✔️ Build identity-based habits that last for life
✔️ Ditch the “start Monday” diet mindset—for good

✔️ Understand how to navigate life in perimenopause


Because you don’t need another diet, you need real-life strategies that work with your midlife hormones, busy schedule, and unique body. Approaches that are simple, sustainable, and rooted in grace, not guilt.


If you’ve been wanting to:
✨ Feel confident and strong in your body again
✨ Get off the diet rollercoaster
✨ Rebuild your energy, metabolism, and muscle
✨ Enjoy food and make progress toward your goals

…this podcast was made for you.


It’s time to stop putting yourself last. Let’s make midlife the season when you finally feel amazing—in your body, your mindset, and your life.

So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s get started.
Welcome to Weight Loss in Midlife—I’m so glad you’re here.

  • 44 | 3 Steps to a Protein-Powered Breakfast to Balance Hormones, Boost Energy, and Stop Cravings
    Jan 12 2026

    If you are a midlife woman trying to lose weight, balance hormones, and stop feeling overwhelmed by food decisions first thing in the morning, this episode is for you.

    Breakfast is often rushed, skipped, or filled with quick grab-and-go foods like muffins, bagels, or cereal bars. While convenient, these low-protein options can leave you hungry, craving sugar, and struggling with motivation long before lunch.

    In today’s episode, we break down why protein matters at breakfast, how much protein most women need, and a simple 3-step system to build a protein-powered breakfast that supports weight loss, energy, mindset, and confidence—without counting calories or overcomplicating your mornings.

    • Feel overwhelmed by what to eat in midlife
    • You’re stuck despite trying to lose weight
    • Experience cravings or energy crashes
    • Want progress without extreme dieting
    • Need practical meal prep ideas that fit a busy life

    When breakfast is already decided, your entire day feels lighter, and consistency becomes easier.

    Step 1: Personalized Nutrition Plan

    Step 3: Weekly Meal Strategy

  • 43 | Why New Year’s Resolution Diets Fail in Midlife and 3 Weight Loss Strategies that Actually Work
    Jan 5 2026

    If January diets have left you feeling frustrated, exhausted, and wondering why fat loss feels harder than it used to… this episode is for you.

    For women in midlife, the “eat less, move more” approach often backfires, especially during perimenopause, when hormones, stress, sleep, and energy levels all play a bigger role than ever before.

    In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about why traditional New Year’s resolutions don’t work in midlife, and what does work if your goal is sustainable fat loss, better energy, and a healthier relationship with food.

    You’ll learn why restriction creates more stress (not results), how to shift away from all-or-nothing thinking, and what habits actually support metabolism, hormones, and consistency in real life, especially if you’re juggling work, family, and zero extra time.

    This episode is for you if you're ready to lose fat and be the best version of yourself this year.

  • 42 | How Do Busy Women Over 40 Stay Consistent in Midlife? 10 Habits That Lead to Fat Loss
    Dec 29 2025

    If consistency has always felt like your biggest struggle with weight loss, you’re not alone — especially in midlife.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the habits that helped me stay consistent even when motivation was low, life was busy, and perfection wasn’t possible. This isn’t about willpower or pushing harder. It’s about building habits that actually support fat loss, health, energy, and wellness during perimenopause and beyond.

    If you’ve tried macros, meal prep, or “doing all the right things” but still feel stuck in a start-stop cycle, this episode will help you understand why consistency feels harder in midlife — and what actually makes it easier to sustain.

    This conversation is especially helpful for busy women navigating perimenopause, changing hormones, nutrition confusion, and low energy, who want a realistic approach to fat loss that fits real life.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You feel like you’re always starting over with nutrition or fat loss
    • You’re navigating perimenopause and noticing changes in your body
    • You want better energy, health, and wellness — without extremes
    • You’re using (or curious about) macros but want them to feel simpler
    • Meal prep and routines feel overwhelming instead of supportive
