If your doctor told you to just "accept" the menopause belly, this episode is for you.

A few years back, I interviewed Rhonda who was almost 55 at the time, fully in menopause, and traveling for work two weeks out of every month. Her cardiologist AND her GYN both told her weight gain was just part of the process. 

Luckily, she refused to believe them.

In this interview, Rhonda shares how she went from frustrated and stuck to losing 22 pounds and over 27 inches, including more than 7 inches off her lower belly alone. 

She also bought her first string bikini ever. At 55. In menopause.

We talk about:

  • Why HIIT training was actually working against her
  • How she figured out eating well while constantly on the road
  • The mindset shift that changed everything
  • Why consistency with calories finally unlocked her results
  • Bench pressing 40 pounds in each hand (yes, really)
  • Rhonda's story is proof that menopause does not have to be the end of feeling strong, confident, and like yourself again.
