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!

Send us your questions & comments
Already feeling the pressure of wanting to enjoy the festive season without restricting all of your party foods and treats while figuring out how to not put on 10 more lbs?
You are so not alone — and the good news is, you don’t have to choose.
In this episode, we’re diving into how to move through December with more freedom, more confidence, and more understanding of what your midlife body actually needs… without giving up the chocolate, the wine, the mince pies, or the cosy dinners that make this season feel extra special.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ The 3 hidden reasons weight loss becomes harder after 40 — especially during the holidays and how to use this to your advantage to "prime" your body for a healthier start in January.
✨ The simple steps you can start now that don't require any significant changes to WHAT you eat in December but will make changes in January feel 10x easier.
✨Plus everything you need to know about the different January strategies you may already be considering and what will really bring you long-term, sustainable results without life-long food restriction, long-term side effects, or overwhelming plans that are impossible to stick to beyond January.
You’ll walk away from this episode with your "survival kit" of strategies that are not hard to stick with but have more impact on your metabolism than you think - and you don't have to give up even ONE food or drink that you love!
This episode is your permission slip to fully enjoy the holidays and step into January feeling lighter, clearer, and more supported than you have in years.
