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.

If you are a woman in midlife and have recently been told you’re prediabetic or haveType 2 diabetes, this episode is for you.
That moment can feel heavy and confusing - and often comes with the quiet fear that a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes will now define your future health and will require you to rely on medication for life to manage it.
In today’s episode, I am breaking that belief wide open - because the truth is you DO have control over your future health and you CAN in fact reverse prediabetes and even Type 2 Diabetes with consistent, key nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
In this episode I will cover:
- Why prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes often appear in midlife
- The biggest myths around this diagnosis that often keep women stuck — and what the truth actually is
- Why reversal of both prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes is possible when insulin resistance is addressed at the root
- How what you eat (not just how much) impacts blood sugar
- The difference between glycemic index and glycemic load of a food, and why this matters
- How to build balanced, blood-sugar-supportive meals without restriction or confusion
- What progress can realistically look like — not just in labs, but in energy, cravings, weight, and confidence around food
This episode is about replacing fear with clarity and giving you a way forward that feels calm, doable, and sustainable.
To support what we talk about in this episode, I’ve created a free, practical guide to help you:
- build low glycemic load meals with ease
- understand portion balance without tracking
- make food choices that support blood sugar reversal in daily life
