Ep 66: How To Lose Weight While Going Through Menopause w/ Beth Feraco
I have a lot of clients who are going through menopause, a point in time 12 months after a woman's last period & perimenopause, the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause.
One of the effects of menopause is fluctuating estrogen levels; its effectiveness to modulate hunger hormones is reduced.[7] Menopausal women experience more intense hunger signals encouraging increased food intake which promotes weight gain.
Yes, hormonal imbalances play a role in weight gain during menopause, but it is possible to lose weight still. But I am not about to mansplain the challenges of menopause and weight loss.
That's why I sat down to talk with the no b.s. nutrition & strength coach Beth Feraco about her experience with weight management while going through menopause.

Ep 64: How To Hold Yourself Accountable
Life is going to go differently than planned. Maybe your kid will have horrible allergies and possibly a case of pink eye...therefore they don't sleep through the night....and then you end up sleeping about 4 hours...Just a random example 😅The point is that you can train even if things aren't perfect. Listen to the episode and learn how.

Ep 61: The Comparison Traps Of Training
It doesn't matter if you are 30 or 60; from today onward, you will never be as young as you are. Even with that in the back of your mind, it is easy to expect to be as lean or strong as you were in your early 20s. Is it entirely out of the question? Meh, consider it becomes harder to maintain things as you age. Don't worry this episode dives into moving through those limiting beliefs.

Customer Reviews
Accessible fitness and health advice
A lot of times the advice you hear on fitness and health seems like it’s not meant for us mere mortals.
As a family man and parent, who works a full time job, and has other obligations, lots of advice on nutrition and fitness just doesnt seem realistic for me.
If you’ve ever felt like that, this is the podcast for you. The way Chris (and his guests) talk about fitness gives me confidence that it’s not out of reach for me, and that I can make it work within my life - without it having to become my life (or for me - Chris has helped me STOP letting fitness play an overblown and disordered role in my life, and get better results anyway!)
Chris Says it Like Its’s Supposed to be Said
Chris has a special way to getting the point across. And it’s usually with the essence of kindness. These podcast are full of relevant and useful knowledge….without sounding like your -know-it-all cousin at Thanksgiving. You be smarter for listening, guaranteed.
