Eat less. Feel less hungry. Lose fat. And yet, I see so many women who: Lose very little fat Stall quickly Feel weaker and flatter Or regain weight when the medication stops So today we’re going to talk about why GLP-1s don’t work for women for some women — and I want to do this accurately, respectfully, and grounded in physiology. It’s about whether your body is physiologically capable of releasing fat. 🧠 Not Sure Where to Start?

    Your “Ideal Weight” Explained | MMP Ep. 286

    ☎️ Book Your COMPLEMENTARY CONSULTATION and CALORIE CALCULATION Call: ⁠https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Most women have a number in their head they’re chasing. In this episode, we challenge the idea of an “ideal weight” and unpack why that number often holds far more power over your confidence, decisions, and daily peace than you realize. This conversation isn’t about math, calorie rules, or another plan to follow. It’s about the beliefs we’ve been taught to measure ourselves by — and what it’s costing us to keep chasing them. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the scale, conflicted about your body, or stuck between wanting results and wanting a life you can actually enjoy… this episode will meet you right there. Listen before you step on the scale again. 📲 Connect With Stephanie: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/vitalityoet.stephanie⁠Email: ⁠stephanie@vitalityoet.com⁠ All Resources: ⁠https://stan.store/vitalityoetstephanie⁠

    ☎️ Book Your COMPLEMENTARY CONSULTATION and CALORIE CALCULATION Call: https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ How early perimenopause really starts, why symptoms don’t match labs, and what advanced testing finally explains. Weight gain in perimenopause often shows up before a diagnosis, before missed periods, and long before most women are told anything has actually changed. In this episode with Dr. Carrie Jones, we break down what’s really happening during this hormonal shift — how early it can begin, why symptoms don’t always match traditional lab work, and what advanced hormone testing can reveal about fatigue, mood changes, hot flashes, and stubborn fat gain. We also talk about why hormone therapy helps some women but makes others feel worse, how to prepare your body so treatment works properly, and the underlying patterns that can quietly amplify symptoms and block fat loss. If you’ve been doing everything the same but your body is responding differently, this conversation will help you understand why. 📲 Connect With Stephanie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitalityoet.stephanieEmail: stephanie@vitalityoet.com All Resources: https://stan.store/vitalityoetstephanie 📲 Connect With Dr. Carrie Jones: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.carriejones/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drcarriejonesWebsite: https://www.drcarriejones.com/

If you feel exhausted no matter how well you eat, how early you go to bed, or how hard you try… this episode is for you. Perimenopause fatigue isn’t about motivation or discipline—it’s about what’s happening inside your body. And most women are never told the real reason their energy keeps disappearing. In this episode, we unpack why fatigue in this season feels different, why the usual advice falls flat, and what your body is actually asking for when energy won’t come back. If you’ve been running on fumes and wondering what changed—this conversation will land. 🎧 Press play and let’s talk about what’s really going on. 📲 Connect With Stephanie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitalityoet.stephanieEmail: stephanie@vitalityoet.com All Resources: https://stan.store/vitalityoetstephanie

You didn’t stop moving. And yet your body changed — fast. This episode is for the moment women realize their old habits no longer create the same results… and the frustration that follows when effort stops matching outcome. We’re talking about why the scale can climb seemingly overnight in perimenopause and menopause, why doubling down often makes it worse, and how to start interpreting what your body is actually telling you instead of fighting it. Because this isn’t random. And it isn’t you “slipping.” Your body is responding to something — you just haven’t been taught how to read the signal yet. 📲 Connect With Stephanie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitalityoet.stephanieEmail: stephanie@vitalityoet.com All Resources: https://stan.store/vitalityoetstephanie

In this episode, I break down why this happens so often in perimenopause and why cutting carbs and fasting is not the answer. The real issue is how your cells respond to fuel. When that communication shifts due to hormonal changes, your body gets pushed into storage mode even while you’re trying to do everything “right.” You’ll learn what’s actually driving rising blood sugar, fatigue, cravings, and stubborn weight - and the 5 practical shifts to improve blood sugar fast. 📲 Connect With Stephanie: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/vitalityoet.stephanieEmail:stephanie@vitalityoet.com All Resources:https://stan.store/vitalityoetstephanie

    Why Your Weight Can Change 2–7+ Pounds In 24–48 Hours) | MMP Ep. 280

    If the scale has ever jumped overnight and sent your mind spiraling, this episode is for you. We’re talking about why your weight can shift dramatically in a short window — and why reacting to those changes keeps so many women stuck in frustration, self-doubt, and overcorrection. This conversation reframes what that number is actually reflecting, why daily weigh-ins feel so emotionally charged, and how misunderstanding short-term changes can quietly sabotage long-term progress — especially for women over 40. If the scale has been dictating your mood, your confidence, or your next decision… this episode will change how you interpret it moving forward.  📲 Connect With Stephanie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vitalityoet.stephanieEmail: stephanie@vitalityoet.com All Resources: https://stan.store/vitalityoetstephanie
