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 exhaustion more often than not these days?
What about 2–3 AM wake-ups by a brain that won't shut off?
Stubborn belly weight no matter how healthy you eat or how much you exercise?
Mood swings you can’t predict that have your family live on edge?
Relentless bloating that makes you look 7 months pregnant?
Guess what? There's a real reason all of this is happening all at once and it's NOT what you think.
In this episode, I’m breaking down five of the most misunderstood symptoms of perimenopause and explaining what they really mean about your metabolism, your health overall - and why it is NOT "just perimenopause or aging".
It's time to learn once and for all in a way that actually makes sense:
✨ Why your 3 PM energy crash has nothing to do with age or your sleep quality
✨ What the real cause of those 2–3 AM wakings are and how to sleep through the night.
✨ Why midsection weight gain is your body’s way of trying to protect you and what you should do next to tell your body it's ok to let go.
✨ How mood swings, irritability and anxiety are not just all in your head, but tied to your gut health.
✨ Why sluggish digestion, gas and bloating are the early signs of metabolic imbalance you shouldn't ignore and assume are "just normal" as you age.
I’ll walk you through three small, simple but strategic steps you can start today to bring more calm, energy, and stability back into your body in just a matter of days.
