The Midlife Vitality Project: Where Perimenopause Becomes Your Comeback Story Naturally!
If you’re a woman over 40 who is tired of feeling tired, foggy, or stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like yours anymore and are looking for a natural approach that will work for YOU to help you start feeling like yourself again, this podcast is for you.
In The Midlife Vitality Project podcast, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, cancer survivor and fellow perimenopause warrier, Joanne Willis, guides you through a real midlife health and life transformation — not one that relies on pills, weight loss injections, HRT or quick fixes, but through understanding your body’s signals and rebuilding your health from the root - naturally - with the power of nutrition!
In each episode, Joanne will dig deep into the real reason behind midlife weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, and other wacky and worrying symptoms of perimenopause — and teaches you how to rebalance your metabolism, hormones and blood levels to achieve your best health and lasting vitality through menopause and beyond.
Because midlife is not the end my friend — it’s just the beginning of your next chapter - the chapter that's all about you and living your best life!

Struggling with midlife weight gain, fatigue, or hormonal imbalance and wonder why some women seem to have it altogether when you're slowly falling apart at the seams?
In this episode, Joanne breaks down why your metabolism, hormones, and mindset are likely out of sync — and how understanding this can completely change your results.
You’ll meet two women who represent two very different ways of approaching health in midlife:
- Surviving Susan — the woman stuck in self-doubt, exhaustion, and the “I'll start again Monday” cycle.
- Thriving Thelma — the woman who learns to listen to her body and interpret the signals and trust herself to rebuild her energy and confidence naturally.
Through their stories, you’ll see how small shifts in belief, consistency, and self-trust can create lasting change in your hormones, metabolism, and energy — without extreme diets, restriction, or relying on medications.
Joanne also shares the foundational 8 Daily Rules from her free guide, The Midlife Metabolic Reset Roadmap — simple, science-based habits that help you:
✨ Balance blood sugar and calm cravings
✨ Support hormone balance naturally
✨ Reduce inflammation and reset metabolism
✨ Reclaim your focus, energy, and body confidence
If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving in midlife and beyond, this episode will help you understand exactly where to start — and how consistency, not perfection, creates real transformation.
