Not long ago, I realized something had to change in the way we approach exercise in midlife. Pushing harder wasn't working—and honestly, for a lot of women, it was making things worse. If workouts feel more draining than energizing, if your body isn't responding the way it used to, or if your hormones seem to be running the show now, this conversation is for you. Today I want to share a science-backed shift in how we move our bodies in this season—one that supports blood sugar, protects muscle, and helps with belly fat, without requiring long workouts or pushing your body past its limits.   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/exercise-snacks-menopause-blood-sugar   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Some links are affiliate links.  PRODUCTS I LOVE AND USE Trim Healthy Store:  👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/linkpage Amazon Shop: 👉 https://www.amazon.com/shop/getyourtrimon-coachingbykris   Music by: https://www.purple-planet.com/   I am not a medical professional.

If you're juggling work, kids, aging parents, laundry piles, a grocery bill that makes you gasp… and still wondering why belly fat keeps showing up uninvited — this episode is for you. Not because you're failing. Not because you're unmotivated. But because midlife hormones change the rules. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm talking honestly about hormone imbalance and belly fat — and why insulin quietly becomes the boss of fat storage in perimenopause and menopause. When stress is high, sleep is short, meals are rushed, and you're grabbing bites while cooking for everyone else, your blood sugar and insulin take the hit first. I break down what's actually happening in your body — in real-world language — and then share 12 practical, doable strategies rooted in Trim Healthy Wisdom to improve insulin sensitivity without adding more pressure to your already full life. We're talking protein-anchored meals, strength training that fits real schedules, walking after dinner, fiber, sleep support, and small shifts that help your body feel safe enough to burn fat again. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about supporting your midlife body in a season that asks for something different. 🎧 Listen in, pick one place to start, and when you're ready for step-by-step guidance and support, learn more about the Midlife Fat Loss Formula — where we build sustainable fat loss for real women in real life.   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/trim-healthy-blood-sugar-menopause   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Some links are affiliate links.

Have you ever eaten off plan or skipped a workout—and immediately felt that familiar wave of guilt, frustration, or "what is wrong with me?" That moment matters more than you think… not because of the food, but because of what happens next in your mindset and your nervous system. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're talking about the shame–cortisol cycle that so many midlife women get trapped in after a slip. I'll walk you through why beating yourself up actually drives cortisol higher, keeps your body stuck in stress mode, and makes belly fat harder to release—especially in menopause. This isn't about perfection, restarting on Monday, or fixing yourself. It's about learning how to pause, separate facts from feelings, and return calmly without spiraling. You'll hear how shortening your recovery window, calming your stress response, and choosing one wise next step can protect your hormones and support real progress. We'll also weave together faith, nervous system regulation, and practical mindset tools you can use immediately. Friend, nothing is ruined. This is practice—not failure. 🎧 Listen in and learn how to overcome the shame–cortisol cycle for good.   Wonder if coaching with me is right for you?

If you're trying to lose weight in midlife but not strength training, this episode may explain exactly why your progress has stalled. So many women in menopause are eating less, walking more, and doing "all the healthy things" — yet belly fat won't budge, energy is low, and hormone imbalance feels louder than ever. The missing piece isn't more discipline. It's muscle. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I break down why strength training is non-negotiable after 40 if you want to lose weight, stabilize blood sugar, and support shifting hormones. We talk about how muscle directly impacts metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and fat storage — and why skipping it keeps your body stuck in survival mode. You'll learn why underfueling protein slows fat loss, how cardio-only routines backfire in menopause, and why building muscle simplifies midlife weight loss instead of complicating it. Midlife fat loss doesn't require extremes — it requires the right framework. 🎧 Listen now. And if you're ready for step-by-step coaching, workouts, and hormone-supportive nutrition, join me inside the Midlife Fat Loss Formula, where I teach you exactly how to eat, strength train, and stay consistent in this season — without fasting, counting, or burnout.   ✨ Open Enrollment for Midlife Fat Loss Formula is happening now!

Have you ever been told your labs are "normal"… but your body feels anything but? Low energy, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, and that frustrating sense that something is just off—yet you keep hearing, "Everything looks fine." In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a huge missing piece for many midlife women: thyroid health. I'm sharing why "normal" thyroid labs don't always tell the full story—and how an under-supported thyroid can quietly drive hormone imbalance, stalled efforts to lose weight, fatigue, and feeling disconnected from your body. I also walk you through the labs that actually matter, why TSH alone isn't enough (especially in midlife), and how stress, undereating, menopause, and even gut health can affect your thyroid's ability to do its job. You'll hear parts of my own journey, why symptoms are real data, and how to advocate for yourself without feeling dismissed or dramatic. This isn't about trying harder. It's about getting curious, informed, and supported. 🎧 Listen in, and if this episode hits home, come connect with me inside my Facebook community or learn more about support inside my Midlife Fat Loss Formula—where we look at the whole woman, not just one lab.   ✨ Open Enrollment for Midlife Fat Loss Formula is happening now!

Midlife weight loss isn't just about food or movement. It's about managing your expectations, your thoughts, and your trust — in your body, in the process, and in God's timing. If you're trying to lose weight in midlife and feel stuck, discouraged, or tempted to start over, this episode is for you. In today's coaching-style episode, I'm sharing a real moment from one of our weekly calls inside Midlife Fat Loss Formula — where we slow things down and talk about what's really happening beneath the surface when progress feels invisible. I walk one of our ladies through a powerful mindset framework I use all the time: the CTFAR model. Together, we separate facts from fear, uncover the thought loops that create frustration, and learn how to stay grounded, hopeful, and consistent — even when results aren't obvious yet.   ✨ Open enrollment is happening now.

Have you ever said, "I know what to eat… I just can't stop eating when I'm emotional"? You can feel calm and confident all day—then nighttime hits. You're tired, stressed, overwhelmed… and suddenly food feels like comfort, relief, or escape. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm talking honestly about emotional eating in midlife—and why it often gets louder during perimenopause and menopause. TIt's not that you're weak—it's stress, changing hormones, and a nervous system that's feeling everything more deeply now.… and why food has been doing a job for you. We'll talk about why emotional eating is normal (especially in this season), how urges actually work in the brain, and the practical tools I teach my clients to help them pause, name what they're feeling, and stop reacting on autopilot. No shame. No punishment. Just real tools that build self-trust and freedom over time. If you're feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck in the same cycle, I want you to know—there is hope, and you're not failing. 🎧 Press play and listen in.

Have you been strength training, eating "on plan," doing all the right things… and yet the scale isn't moving — or worse, it's creeping up? If that's you, this episode is going to bring so much peace to your mind and clarity to your strategy. In today's Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're flipping one of the biggest midlife weight loss beliefs on its head. Because after 40, muscle isn't the reward for losing weight — it's the requirement. I'm walking you through the real science behind menopause exercise, why fat loss feels harder in this season, and how strength training actually restores your body's ability to lose weight instead of fighting it. We'll talk hormones, insulin sensitivity, metabolism, and why chasing the scale can quietly sabotage your progress. This isn't about doing more, pushing harder, or punishing your body. It's about building strength first — physically and faithfully — and letting fat loss become the byproduct of safety, support, and wise stewardship. If you've been feeling discouraged, impatient, or confused by your midlife body, this episode will help you trust the unseen work happening beneath the surface.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way January 19th-21st --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/muscle-first-then-fat-loss-why-strength-training-works-after-40   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.

Are you exhausted from starting over with weight loss… again? If belly fat feels stubborn, your energy is low, and your body just isn't responding like it used to, this episode is for you. Today, I'm sharing a different approach to losing weight in midlife—one that doesn't rely on pressure, panic, or fixing yourself. Because for so many women over 40, the real issue isn't discipline. It's imbalanced hormones, elevated stress, and a body that needs safety, rhythm, and wisdom in this season. In this episode, we'll talk about why belly fat is hormonal (not a personal failure), how stress and cortisol impact your waistline, and why consistency now matters more than intensity. I'll walk you through five truths every midlife woman needs to know to lose weight with peace instead of pressure—and how to work with your body, not against it. This is about steady hearts, simple strategies, and hope for what's still possible—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you're ready to stop striving and start moving forward with clarity and confidence, press play.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way January 19th-21st --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/midlife-hormone-weight-loss-truths   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.

 Or maybe you've tried doing more—longer workouts, harder cardio—only to feel exhausted, inflamed, and stuck with stubborn belly fat. In this episode, I'm clearing up the confusion once and for all. We're talking about menopause exercise, specifically walking, and why it works differently for midlife women. Not as punishment. Not to "burn off food." But as a powerful, hormone-supporting tool that actually helps your body lose weight and release belly fat. You'll learn why intense cardio can backfire after 40, how walking lowers cortisol instead of spiking it, and why even short walks—especially after meals—can improve insulin sensitivity and fat burning. I'll also show you how to use walking strategically so it supports your strength training, your energy, and your hormones… without leaving you ravenous or worn down. If you've been asking, "Am I doing too much—or not enough?" this conversation will bring clarity and peace. 🎧 Press play and listen in, and if this episode hits home, I want to personally invite you to join my free Belly Fat Workshop, where I'll walk you step-by-step through how to lose belly fat in midlife by working with your hormones instead of fighting them.

What do you do when your body says "slow down" — but your heart still wants to show up strong? If you're in midlife and dealing with an injury, hormone imbalance, chronic pain, or a season where your schedule (or caregiving role) feels overwhelming, this episode is for you. In today's very personal conversation, I'm not teaching a workout or giving you a checklist. I'm sharing my own recent injury story — what happened, what I learned the hard way, and how I'm navigating movement, mindset, and faith in a season of forced rest. We're talking honestly about how menopause exercise looks different when estrogen drops, why injuries are more common in this season, and how to stay empowered even when you can't do what you used to do. I'll also share how I'm still supporting my body with smart movement, protein, recovery tools, and grace — without spiraling into fear or discouragement. If you've ever wondered how to strength train wisely, honor your limits, and keep moving forward despite setbacks, this episode will meet you right where you are.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way January 19th-21st --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/strength-train-or-rest-menopause   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.

Why does the scale feel so wacky in midlife—especially when you're doing all the "right" things? If you're eating well, prioritizing protein, strength training, and trying to take care of yourself… yet the scale keeps bouncing up and down, this episode is for you. So many midlife women tell me, "Why do I keep gaining weight?" or "Why won't my menopause belly fat budge?"—and I want you to know there's more going on than willpower or effort. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're talking about why weight loss is not linear in perimenopause and menopause—and why that doesn't mean your body is failing you. I walk you through the real physiology behind belly fat, hormone-driven water retention, cortisol, muscle repair, and insulin sensitivity… in plain, practical language you can actually use. We'll also talk mindset—because reacting to the scale is one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck. I'll show you how to reframe what the scale is telling you, so you can lose weight with confidence, patience, and peace. If you're ready to stop letting daily numbers derail your progress and start working with your midlife body, press play.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way in January! --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/trust-scale-menopause-lose-belly-fat   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.

Do you feel like midlife has brought a whole new set of "giants" you never asked for—belly fat, hormone imbalance, low energy, and a mind that keeps telling you nothing will work anymore? In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm sharing a message straight from my own heart—and straight from Scripture. We're talking about the story of Caleb and Joshua… and why their perspective matters so much for your midlife weight loss journey. Because here's the truth: every season has giants. In midlife, those giants often look like stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, inconsistent motivation, and a mindset that whispers, "This is just how it is now." But that doesn't have to be your report. This episode will help you see how mindset—not willpower—is often the missing piece when you're trying to lose weight in this season. We'll talk about how to acknowledge real challenges without letting them define your future, and how to shift from the defeat report to the report of the Lord—one grounded in strength, hope, and steady consistency. If you're tired of fighting your body and ready for a wiser, more supported approach to midlife health, this episode will encourage you deeply.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way in January! --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/menopause-health-strategy-coach-kris   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.

Do the holidays make you feel like all your progress goes out the window? Like you're on everyone else's schedule, surrounded by food, and holding your breath until January? Let's talk about a better way. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm sharing simple, realistic holiday strategies I coach my own midlife clients through - not to be perfect, but to stay peaceful, steady, and supported. If you want to lose weight without white-knuckling your way through December, this conversation is for you. We'll talk about why willpower isn't the answer in midlife, how pre-deciding your food choices reduces stress, and why thoughtful meal planning (even loose, flexible planning) helps calm your nervous system and protect fat burning. I'll also walk you through how to handle grazing, sugar cravings, food pushers, and that "I'll start over Monday" mindset — with grace and confidence. This isn't about restriction. It's about choosing steady over strict, lowering cortisol, and learning how to reset at any meal without shame. Press play, grab a notebook, and let's walk into this season grounded, prepared, and proud of how you show up.   Save your Seat for the Beat the Belly Fat Workshop - coming your way in January! --> https://www.getyourtrimon.com/workshop   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post: 👉  https://www.getyourtrimon.com/blog/midlife-weight-loss-holiday-strategies   💌 BE AN INSIDER Stay in the know with my weekly newsletter: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/newsletter   💪 WORK WITH ME Book a FREE discovery call: 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/work-with-kris Join Midlife Thrive Tribe (monthly membership): 👉 https://www.getyourtrimon.com/group-coaching-open Enroll in the Midlife Fat Loss Formula (6-month coaching): 👉 https://bit.ly/joinfatlossformula   🎧 Listen in now — and if this resonates, come join the conversation inside my Menopause Makeover Facebook group, where we walk this journey together.   Affiliate Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links.
