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!

Episode 5: (Part 2) What Actually Helped Me Heal in Midlife - Energy, Weight Loss & Hormone Balance Without Extremes
Send us your questions & comments
Midlife weight gain, exhaustion, anxiety, bloating, cravings, and that deep sense of “Who even am I anymore?” — this episode is for every woman who feels her body shifting in ways she can’t control. If you’ve been wondering why nothing you’re trying is working anymore, and whether natural midlife weight loss is even possible… you’re going to want to settle in for this one.
In Part 2 of this mini-series where I am sharing my own personal journey, I’m opening up about the messy middle — the moment I realized my old habits, old knowledge, and old strategies were no longer enough.
I share the exact steps I took to stop spiraling, regain control, and start healing my metabolism, hormones, and mental wellbeing from the inside out.
No fluff. No surface-level advice. Just the real-life truth of what it looks like to rebuild your health in your 40s — with compassion, clarity, and a clear path forward.
Inside this episode, I walk you through:
✨ The turning point that snapped me out of survival mode
✨ What my bloodwork revealed (and why it mattered more than I knew)
✨ Why I considered HRT and GLP-1s — and what ultimately made me choose a natural path
✨ The mindset shifts that finally helped me stay consistent
✨ The small but powerful changes that helped me lose weight, feel calmer, restore energy, and actually feel like myself again
✨ What I wish every woman in midlife knew about healing her metabolism
This isn’t a quick-fix story. It’s not a “just eat healthy and work out” lecture.
It’s the real emotional, hormonal, and metabolic journey that so many women silently go through — but almost no one talks about honestly.
If you’re standing in that foggy, frustrating space thinking “something has to change… I just don’t know where to begin", this episode will feel like someone finally turning the lights on help you see that you're not alone.
And if you want to dig deeper into your own body, your own patterns, and your own options (including a bonus, private episode where I break down the truth about GLP-1s, HRT, and more), you can explore that inside my Midlife Metabolic Reset Roadmap.
