    Inflammation, Hormones, and Perimenopause Truths|313
    Jul 24 2025

    You’re doing everything “right” and your body’s still like… nope.

    Can’t drop the weight.

    Can’t sleep.

    Can’t stop yelling at your husband for breathing too loud.

    If you’ve ever blamed your hormones but couldn’t explain which ones or why this episode is your wake-up call. I brought in hormone ninja Becca Chielankowski to break down the real hormone hierarchy (spoiler: insulin gets VIP access, not estrogen), why inflammation might be the real villain, and what’s ACTUALLY driving your “fluffiness” in midlife.

    Becca and I cover:

    • Why it’s not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
    • The metabolic chaos of overtraining and undereating
    • HRT myths, misfires, and must-know truths
    • How cortisol got unfairly labeled the villain (and why it’s not)
    • The non-sexy foundations that actually fix your hormones
    • And yes, why less hustle might save your health (gasp!)

    This is the conversation every midlife woman needs to hear before Googling another supplement stack or fasting protocol. Because guess what? The long way really is the shortcut.

    Listen now and tag use @kimjeffersoncoach @thehormonequeen to tell us your biggest “OMG that’s me” moment.

  • Why Your Old Diet Tricks Are No Longer Working|312

    Why Your Old Diet Tricks Are No Longer Working|312
    Jul 17 2025

    If we were besties sipping coffee (or wine, let’s be honest), and I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings, this is the conversation we’d have.

    This episode? It’s for the woman who says she’s “stuck,” who’s tired of tracking every bite, who keeps saying “I just need to get back on track” without asking what that even means anymore.

    ⚠️ Spoiler alert:

    Your plateau isn’t punishment. Your metabolism isn’t broken.

    But your beliefs? They might need a full-blown rewrite.

    We’re burning the old rule book and building a strategy that fits your real life not your fantasy version from 20 years ago.

    Tune in for:

    ✅ What to do when “get back on track” feels like code for burnout

    ✅ Why your pace is perfect (and how to stop being pissed about it)

    ✅ 1–3 non-negotiables that actually work—even during hockey season, tax season, or total chaos

    ✅ What I’d tell you if you argued for your limitations one more damn time

    Hit play and let’s get honest. Because you’re not broken, you’re just tired of doing too much for too little.

    If this hits home, share it with your ride-or-die who needs to stop dipping her toe into quick fixes and finally dive in goals that actually work for you.

    👇 Ready to stop recycling old diet drama?
