How much do you really think about aging, and what it means for your body, and particularly for your hormones?
I think so often we take it for granted that we’re getting older, but don’t always realize how much we can do to make this midlife phase life easier, healthier, and more comfortable as we go through the inevitable changes that come with perimenopause and menopause.
But there actually is a LOT we can do, not just to improve our quality of life right now, but to keep our body strong and healthy for the next several decades.
And that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about today, with our special guest, hormone expert Nicki Williams.

Thanksgiving is just a little more than a week away, which basically means this is the time of year where everyone is not only thinking about and talking about food, but literally planning a whole day AROUND food.
And I'm not going to lie, Thanksgiving is probably my absolute favorite holiday, but when you're in the middle of a journey to lose weight and get healthy, it can also be a challenging time.
And while a couple of weeks ago I shared some helpful strategies for making it through the holiday season without going totally off the rails with your health plan, today I wanted to focus on a topic that can be challenging even when you THINK you have a good plan in place.
Food Pushers.
I think every family has at least one, and sometimes it's enough to make you want to scream, right?
In fact, it can make sticking to your healthy eating plan feel almost impossible, which is why in today's episode, I want to talk about how to handle those situations with grace and confidence, and without losing your mind.

Did you know that perimenopause lasts, on average, TEN YEARS for most women?
When you consider that women make up 50% of the population this is a SIGNIFICANT amount of time for a topic that gets largely ignored.
So why is that? And as women, what can we do to take more control of this piece of our life that has such a huge impact on our quality of life, even when no one’s really talking about it?
That’s exactly what we’re talking about today as we dive in with bestselling author and menopause expert, Dr. Liz Lyster
There are SO many golden nuggets & takeaways in this interview that you’re probably going to want to take notes. So let’s get started!

In this special bonus episode we’re taking a deep dive into what transforming your life through adopting the Thinlicious lifestyle actually looks like, by sitting down to chat with another one of our amazing clients, Amanda Yarborough
Amanda actually joined our program pretty recently, in August 2024, after being prescribed Ozempic by her doctor, but knowing that she did not want to be stuck taking drugs for the rest of her life. She first found this podcast, and after a few months of listening, decided to join the program.
Now she’s not only been able to completely get off of Ozempic, she’s already lost an additional 17 pounds and she’s only just getting started!

It's November, which means the holiday season is suddenly upon us, and whether it's those irresistible Peppermint Mochas at Starbucks or the endless piles of Christmas cookies or the mashed potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving dinner, it's hard to get very far without thinking about food, right?
And yet, the thought of heading into January with an extra 10 or 15 pounds of holiday guilt doesn't sound all that great either.
So what's the solution?
Is it REALLY possible to fully enjoy the holiday season without totally going off the rails?
I say yes...As long as you start with a GAME PLAN.
And so, that's exactly what we're going to talk about today!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you think to yourself, “Is this really all there is?”
Maybe you finally achieve a big goal, and instead of feeling satisfied, you feel a little empty inside.

Ever feel like you must be the ONLY one in the world who can't seem to get this healthy eating thing right? That while everyone else is out there losing weight and getting fit, you're just stuck spinning your wheels, gaining and losing the same 5 pounds over and over again?
