56. Going through Perimenopause TWICE: My personal post menopausal struggle {Women over 40, Women over 50, Menopause, Women over 40 health, health tips, hormone health, midlife women, menopause weight loss}
Welcome to Episode 56 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!
In this episode, Kim shares her very personal experience of going through perimenopause symptoms twice - once during her actual perimenopause transition, and again recently even after being postmenopausal for years.
Kim shares more about the transitional part of menopause called perimenopause and many of the symptoms that could be associated with it.
Kim then discusses her recent experience of her estrogen levels plummeting again post-menopause, causing a resurgence of perimenopause-like symptoms. She highlights the importance of getting hormone levels tested and considering bioidentical hormone therapy, though encourages doing personal research. Kim shares some trusted experts she has featured on the podcast who discuss hormone therapy.
While technically you don't go through true perimenopause twice, the symptoms can resurface if hormone levels drop again, even after menopause. Kim advocates for taking a holistic health approach, as balancing hormones can positively impact weight, sleep, mood, cravings and more.
Don’t suffer in silence - get tested and explore solutions with a menopause specialist and reach out to Kim @kimhyneshealth for more support.

It’s time to overcome the “good girl” conditioning and stop binge eating.
This episode digs deeper into how being the "good girl" or people-pleaser in childhood can lead to suppressing emotions and using food to cope as an adult. Kim shares her personal experiences and story and how being a people pleaser resulted in numbing out with food.
Kim shares what people pleasing really is and how this conditioning of suppressing emotions can cause you to stuff those feelings down, but later escape the emotions by eating mindlessly.
Kim explains how this "good girl" conditioning leads to struggles like not expressing true feelings/wants, feeling you always have to have the right answers, perfectionistic tendencies, difficulty asking for help, losing touch with your authentic self, and neglecting self-care.

53. Running Into Midlife: The Health Benefits and How to Train as a Beginner or Experienced Runner {Women over 40, Midlife women, Menopause, Running, Learn to Run, Healthy Habits, Health for women over 40}
Have you ever wondered about running in your 40s, 50s or 60s? Maybe you want to keep running and wonder about the benefits or you have always wanted to start running, but think it’s too late. This episode will inspire you either way. This is a selfish episode because I have loved running for a long time and it has physically and mentally gotten me through a lot in my life.
Jared Broughton is a running coach who has been passionate about the sport since age 17. He is visually impaired (legally blind) and a former carded para-athletics athlete. He has been running seriously for 17 years consistently non-stop.
He helps aspiring & experienced runners fit training into their busy schedules & achieve their athletic performance & fitness goals. His personalized training plan & coaching helps you boost mental, physical, and longevity health without injury, pain, or “falling off the wagon” no matter what age you are.
Jared shares his background and inspiring story and how running allowed him to find independence as a solo sport and build immense commitment, dedication, and discipline that transferred to other areas of his life.
Jared encourages facing the fears around running by viewing it as exposure therapy to a therapeutic, natural movement that forces focus. If you’re a beginner, he shares practical and doable advice to get started like starting with just 1 mile every other day until it feels too easy, setting out gear beforehand, and trying run/walk intervals.
For women specifically, Jared highlights running's benefits in developing high pain tolerance, regulating hormones through the runner's high "happy drug," and tapping into the endurance capabilities women were designed for to dominate ultra distances.
Don’t worry. I know you’ve heard me and the experts talking about lifting weights. We don’t leave that out. To become a well-rounded runner, Jared advises strength training 3 times per week and incorporating different types of runs.
He leaves us with some amazing tips that will make you feel like hitting the road today. One of my favorite tips is to finish feeling you could've done more, adjust effort based on weather conditions, and be flexible.

52. Women over 40, stop blaming yourself: Identify the true drivers of your over eating habits {Emotional Eating, Healthy Habits, Stress Eating, Women over 40, Women over 50, Health tips for women over 40, menopause, hormones, weight loss}
Are you an educated, motivated woman who blames yourself for constantly overeating, whether it's late at night, grabbing snacks at work, or indulging in sugary treats?
In this episode. I explain that the reasons you think you overeat - like sugar addiction, lack of willpower, or an inability to stick to a diet - are often not the true, deeper reasons.
The real reasons behind overeating are often more complex, involving stress, hormone imbalances, boredom, and other lifestyle factors. I dig into how factors like overwhelming stress, hormonal changes, and even procrastination can drive us to seek comfort in food.
I share that beating yourself up over "failing" at diets or having no willpower is counterproductive - the solution lies in understanding the deeper reasons behind your behaviors.
I outline one approach of thoroughly examining a client's entire daily routine to identify areas for improvement, whether it's lacking nourishing meals, not getting enough rest, or needing more social connection.
By addressing the root causes, you can develop sustainable habits that steer you away from overeating and toward a healthier, more balanced relationship with food.
