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 11: Why I chose the Metabolic Balance® Program to lose 23lbs in 8 weeks in perimenopause (Part 1 of Mini-Series)

In Part 1 of this mini-series where I take you on my own health and weight loss journey, I’m taking you back to the moment where I decided to follow The Metabolic Balance® Program - the moment when everything finally started to make sense.
I take you back to the stage of my life where perimenopausal symptoms were beginning to take over — 30lbs of stubborn weight gain, increasing fatigue, insatiable cravings, achy joints and bloodwork that was slowly creeping in the wrong direction.
In this episode, I talk about:
- what my health and symptoms actually looked like before I started, and the fear of what that trajectory might mean for my future
- why, despite being offered conventional options like HRT or weight-loss injections, I knew I wanted a different path — especially after my experience with cancer treatment in my 20s
- how discovering Metabolic Balance® felt different because it aligned with the foundations I’d been teaching for years, but went deeper by creating a plan b based on my own bloodwork
- the doubts and hesitations I had before beginning — including fears around restriction, failure, and my ability to follow-through
- and why understanding my bloodwork and translating it into my body's unique food requirements gave me clarity, hope, and the motivation to finally take action
This episode is the starting point of my journey — the moment I stopped guessing and started working with my body instead of against it.
In the next episode, I’ll walk you through my actual bloodwork results and what they revealed about my health — and why that information became the foundation for everything that followed.
