By AshleyEpisode Description
If you’re a woman over 40 trying to make sense of weight gain, stress, hormonal changes, or the emotional rollercoaster of menopause, today’s episode is for you.
In this episode, Dr. Kelly sits down with Terry Tateossian to break down what so many women experience but rarely talk about openly:
the stubborn weight gain, the sudden fatigue, the mood swings, and the feeling that your body is no longer responding the way it used to.
You’ll hear:
• How hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause impact metabolism
• The real reason traditional dieting stops working after 40
• The connection between stress, cortisol, and midsection fat
• What women actually need to feel better, stronger, and more balanced
Terry’s work removes the overwhelm and replaces it with simple, sustainable strategies that help women feel like themselves again. Her expertise in nutrition, fitness, and hormone health makes this conversation both empowering and practical.
Whether you’re just entering perimenopause or deep in the transition, this episode offers clarity, calm, and a path forward.
