The Metabolism and Menopause Podcast

Best podcast for women. Blew me away when she offered to calculate macros without the sales pitch. Won me over!!

Clear, compassionate and full of science backed tips!

While I’ve been extremely healthy, I’ve done so many things wrong in the past 5 years as a woman heading to perimenopause. I’ll make it quick. I tried intermittent fasting, cutting most carbs, not eating sufficient calories while doing a lot of physical activities. I gained 5 lbs the past few years and couldn’t get rid of them no matter little I ate or how much exercise I did. I suddenly got sick one day (hadn’t been sick for over a decade before this) few weeks ago and couldn’t sleep or exercise. When I could eat again, I ate so much including a lot of healthy carbs like sweet potatoes. Suddenly, the pounds dropped. I realized then how much I had restricted my body to the point it didn’t feel safe to lose any weight. I then stumbled upon this podcast on YouTube and she validated my suspicion. I’ve been binge listening to her show since. I wish I had come across this few years ago.

I followed Stephanie’s teachings like a champ. I didn’t worry when i gained a little weight. I was also weightlifting so I assumed it was gaining muscle. I love some of the ideas and incorporate, but I’m not losing weight like I’m “supposed to” and was starting to feel really bad about myself… even tho I feel great. There’s definitely a line of reasoning prevalent in her does that if you do x,y,andz, you’ll see steady results. I can’t live my life hyper focused on diet and exercise. It’s not my job, lol, but I get that it’s Stephanie’s and I respect that. She is selling a product, that you have access to, but if you REALLY want the good stuff, be prepared to pay for it. I was shocked at the cost of a recent event. But it’s a job and Stephanie needs to be THE expert for sales. At the end of the day, I think Stephanie really really overreaches and the podcasts just start sounding cult-y and click bait-y. I half expected to hear things like “What your doctor doesn’t want you to know” and “shocking truths” so I did chuckle at the latest podcast title “…And why your doctor missed it,” because it really has the feel of those spammy links at the bottom of a yahoo news article. Anytime a podcaster starts actually saying that they’re smarter than other medical professionals… it’s time to divest a bit.
