In Part 2 of this mini-series, I’m taking you deeper into my own health and weight loss journey — to the point where I was finally able to stop guessing and started getting real answers.


This episode is all about my bloodwork… and what it revealed about what was actually happening inside my body during perimenopause.


At this stage of my life, I was doing many of the “right” things — eating well, staying active, trying to manage stress — yet my symptoms were still progressing, and my labs were quietly moving in the wrong direction.


In this episode, I talk about:

  • what my bloodwork results were showing at that time, including changes in cholesterol, glucose, liver markers, and inflammation
  • why being told everything was “within normal range” didn’t explain how I was feeling — or where my health was headed
  • how these internal imbalances were directly connected to stubborn weight gain, fatigue, mood swings and sleep struggles
  • why continuing to rely on the nutrition strategies I followed in my 20s and 30s was no longer enough in my 40s
  • and how translating my bloodwork into a personalized food plan finally gave my body what it actually needed to rebalance naturally and lose weight effortlessly
