Midlife Weight Gain Uncovered: What Diets Don’t Tell You! | S2E16 TTOM

Welcome to This Time of the Month, where today we’re tackling one of the most misunderstood topics: weight management in midlife. This episode is for anyone who struggles with appetite regulation, cycles diet fad after diet fad or feels like their body is no longer cooperating.

Joined by Dr. Ashley White, trained in obesity medicine & creator of the SHIFT program, we’re going to break down what’s really going on inside your body and how you can take back control—with compassion, not criticism.

Many midlife individuals are fighting an uphill battle with weight. But here’s the truth: your body isn’t broken—we know that hormones, stress, and even trauma play a significant role in how our bodies store fat and regulate appetite. You’re not failing. Your body is responding exactly how it’s been wired to, and today, we’ll talk about how you can work with your body—not against it.

 

What You’ll Learn:

-Why dieting fails for most women—and what to do instead.

-How hormones like insulin impact weight and how to support hormone balance.

-Everyday strategies to support your body through perimenopause and beyond.

-How trauma can play a hidden role in appetite regulation and weight gain.

-By the end of this episode, you’ll have the knowledge and tools to shift your focus from guilt to empowerment, embracing a kinder, more effective approach to your health.
