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 24: Is your thyroid the reason you're exhausted and can't lose weight? What every woman in midlife needs to know
Send us your questions & comments
There comes a moment in midlife when you start asking different questions about your health.
You’re not just focused on weight anymore.
Chances are you’re thinking about energy, hormones, bloodwork, and how you want to feel as you age.
And yet… your body feels harder to manage than it used to.
In this first episode of Season 2 in The Midlife Vitality Project, we’re talking about one of the most common — and most misunderstood — questions women ask in their 40s and 50s:
“What if it’s my thyroid?”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- what your thyroid actually does and why it matters so much in midlife
- the common thyroid symptoms women are told to normalize or ignore
- why thyroid issues are often missed — even when labs are called “normal”
- which thyroid labs actually matter and what they mean in plain English
- how thyroid health connects to hormones, stress, blood sugar, and metabolism
- and the exact next steps you can take if this conversation resonates with you
This is not about diagnosing yourself.
It’s about understanding your body, advocating for your health, and replacing confusion with clarity.
I’m also sharing a FREE Thyroid Labs Guide to help you take action — including symptom checklists, lab explanations, and scripts to support better conversations with your doctor.
