EP 221. 5 Habits You Need to Break If You Want to Lose Weight in Perimenopause

Stop. Dieting. Forever. with Jennifer Dent Brown, Health + Life Coach for Women

This episode is dedicated to every woman navigating the ups and downs of perimenopause. We dive into some of the biggest challenges you’re facing—hormonal shifts, unexpected weight gain, and confusing symptoms that are often misdiagnosed or misunderstood. Together, we're peeling back the layers of outdated advice and uncovering key habits that, once broken, make room for a healthier, more empowered way to live during this transitional time. Plus, I’m inviting you to join me in my upcoming workshop for even more support and guidance!

In this episode, we’ll cover:

• Why the symptoms of perimenopause are so often misdiagnosed and what that means for your health.
• How weight gain, sleep disruptions, and mood swings are impacted by hormonal changes.
• Why certain diet and exercise habits might be working against your goals and how to break free.
• The power of quality sleep for regulating hunger hormones and managing weight.
• Why self-compassion is your best ally in staying motivated and making meaningful change.
• The role of nutrition in this journey, with a focus on protein, fiber, and fewer extremes.
