    The Ultimate Guide to Menopause: How to Boost Your Metabolism, Build Muscle, & Balance Your Hormones

    If you’ve been thinking, “What is going on with my body?” Today, you are getting your answers.  You’re going to learn the real science and brand-new research of perimenopause and menopause and the simple, research-backed changes that can help you feel stronger, calmer, and more in control, starting now.  For way too long, women have been left guessing about hormone changes, weight gain, sleep issues, mood swings, and why workouts that used to “work” suddenly don’t.  Most of the advice out there is outdated, generalized, or based on bodies that are not female.  That changes today.  In this eye-opening episode, Mel brought back her most popular guest of all time: Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD, to give you the exact plan on how to train your body to adapt to the changes, instead of just “dealing with it.”  Dr. Sims is a professor at Stanford and Auckland University of Technology, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, and a leading researcher on female-specific health and nutrition.  She breaks down why menopause is not the end of you. It’s just a transition, and with the right tools, your body can thrive for the next 40 years.  Today’s episode has solutions, including new information that goes beyond what has ever been shared on this podcast before.  In this episode, you’ll learn:  -How to rewire your body to thrive without estrogen -Why belly fat shows up in menopause (and why it’s not the same kind of fat as before)  -The specific diet and nutrition that help with mood and sleep  -What happens to your brain, mood, sleep, and body fat when estrogen drops  -Why menopause is basically reverse puberty   -The #1 thing that changes everything in midlife: heavy strength training (and how to start in 10 minutes)  -The new cardio that works with menopause (short sprint intervals) and why “moderate hard” workouts always backfire  -The injuries nobody warns you about – frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis – and what to do about them Bookmark this episode and share it with every single woman in your life. You do not have to live with symptoms that can be resolved, and you do not have to suffer. You can train your body to adapt to the changes – and you can start this week.  For more resources related to today’s episode, click here for the podcast episode page.   If you liked this episode, check out Dr. Stacy Sims’ first appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast: The Body Reset: How Women Should Eat & Exercise for Health, Fat Loss, & Energy To learn more about menopause, listen to this interview with Ob/Gyn Dr. Mary Claire Haver: The #1 Menopause Doctor: How to Lose Belly Fat, Sleep Better, & Stop Suffering Now Connect with Mel:     Order Mel’s new product, Pure Genius ProteinGet Mel’s newsletter, packed with tools, coaching, and inspiration.Get Mel’s #1 bestselling book, The Let Them TheoryWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Mel on InstagramThe Mel Robbins Podcast InstagramMel's TikTokSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-freeDisclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Change Your Life This Year: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

    In today’s episode, you’re going to learn exactly how to achieve your goals, stay motivated, and create real, lasting change in your life.  If you’ve struggled to create change that sticks…  If you know exactly what you want to change, but can’t follow through…  If you’re tired of blaming willpower…  This conversation will give you clarity, relief, and a proven way forward.  Joining Mel today is Dr. Katy Milkman, PhD, one of the world’s leading behavioral scientists, an endowed professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and co-founder of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative.  In her lab at UPenn, Dr. Milkman consolidated the findings from 192 researchers and found that there are 7 hidden barriers that stop people from changing, even when they desperately want to.  Today, she walks through each of the 7 barriers and explains why each barrier requires a different, evidence-backed strategy. Trying harder doesn’t work. Using the right tool does.  Dr. Milkman will also share the secret weapon for creating real change in your life called the Fresh Start Effect.  In this episode, you’ll learn:  -The real reason change feels so hard – and why you’re not lazy, broken, or lacking discipline  -The 7 hidden barriers that quietly stop you from following through  -How to identify which barrier is blocking you  -Why willpower keeps letting you down and what works when motivation disappears -Why procrastination, impulsivity, and forgetting are predictable and the simple tools that stop them  -How to make hard habits feel easier and more rewarding, so they finally stick  -The science-backed way to design your environment for success instead of relying on self-control    In this conversation, Dr. Milkman gives you a practical framework to stop fighting yourself and start working with how your brain actually functions.  If you’re ready for this year to be different, this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
