523. New Hormones for Aging and Weight Loss, Eating for our Menopausal Midsection and Wisdom Around Fueling our Bodies with the Trim Healthy Mama Sisters
I’ve got something extra special for you—Serene and Pearl, the powerhouse sister duo behind the Trim Healthy Mama movement, are joining me to get real about navigating hormones, aging, and conquering that stubborn menopausal midsection. We're diving into their brand new book, "Trim Healthy Wisdom," and trust me, this isn't just another diet guide—it's a full-on roadmap (with humor and heart!) for thriving in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. They open up about their personal battles with weight gain, fatigue, and libido woes, sharing how tweaking their approach to bioidentical hormones and fueling (not starving) their bodies completely transformed their lives. We unpack the truth about protein, muscle loss, and why your "bat wings" might actually be a sign you need more, not less, on your plate. Plus, we break down the magic of incretin hormones (hello, GLP-1, PYY, and CCK) for natural appetite and weight control—no prescription needed! The Trim Healthy approach to eating and moving gets a super-smart update, including clever hacks like using psyllium husk and baobab for appetite management, and the real story behind hormone replacement and GLP-1 meds (hint: it’s not just about quick fixes). Whether you’re stuck with your weight, confused about what fuels actually work, or just want to reclaim your badass vitality, this episode promises practical strategies and fresh wisdom to empower your journey.
