Stop Trying, Start Doing: Rethinking Movement in Menopause and Weight Loss

PODCAST EPISODE 497

What if the word “try” is the reason you keep failing? When you say “I’ll try to walk” or “I’ll try to stop eating at night,” you’re already giving yourself permission to fail.

In this episode, I talk about Dr. Ellen Langer’s research on the mind-body connection and what it means for women in menopause. I share stories about men in their 80s who became physically younger just by changing their environment and housekeepers who lost weight simply by learning their daily work counted as exercise. I also discuss why movement should feel like play, not punishment, and how changing your perception can create what looks like miracles in your life. Plus, I explain why transitions like menopause feel hard and what you can do about it.

Listen to learn how to rewire your brain to want movement, why awareness matters more than willpower, and how to take the free quiz that shows you what’s really holding you back. Enjoy the show!
