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 23: My results so far and my plan for long-term success
Send us your questions & comments
In Part 13, the final episode of my Journey to Metabolic Balance mini-series, I’m reflecting on where I’m at now — 10 weeks into the program — and tying together everything this journey has taught me.
At this point, I’m over 24 pounds down, but the most meaningful changes go far beyond the scale.
For the first time in years, my body feels stable.
- My energy is consistent.
- My sleep is deeper and more restorative.
- My brain fog has lifted significantly.
- My mood feels calmer and more predictable.
- My digestion is working the way it should.
- And many of the perimenopausal symptoms I’ve been battling for years — bloating, inflammation, fatigue, emotional ups and downs — have softened dramatically.
In this episode, I share:
- why I created this mini-series in the first place — not to document perfection, but to show what real transformation actually looks like
- how the highs and lows of the journey were part of my body recalibrating, not signs of failure
- why none of the challenging moments derailed my progress — and why they didn’t last
- what made this experience different from everything I’ve tried (and taught) before
- the two key factors that changed everything: personalized nutrition based on bloodwork and simple, consistent metabolic habits
- why weight loss became a side effect of restoring balance — not the goal itself
I also address some of the most common questions women still have when they’re considering making a change:
- Will this work for me?
- Is it too strict?
- Do I have to give up the foods I love forever?
- What if I don’t have the energy to start?
And I explain why this approach meets you where you are — supporting your body instead of fighting it.
This episode isn’t about a finish line.
It’s about what it feels like to finally trust your body again…
to stop battling food…
to move through life with steadier energy and confidence…
and to know you have a way of eating and living that actually supports you long term.
If there’s one message I hope you take from this entire series, it’s this:
Health transformation doesn’t require perfection. It requires alignment, consistency, and support.
And if I can do this — you absolutely can too.
