Metabolism & Perimenopause

Your body is always under a certain degree of stress, but in perimenopause and menopause your cortisol (stress hormone) sky rockets! High levels of cortisol leave us in a constant state of "fight or flight", which is the biggest villain keeping you from feeling your best. It’s time to learn more about how your body works and get started on the road to your revitalized self.

In episode 161 of The Well Podcast, we welcome Stephanie Fusnik to chat about metabolism, perimenopause, hormones, weight loss, nutrition and how it all works together to help us reach our wellness goals. Stephanie has a lengthy background to support her knowledge on this topic.

Does your weight define you?

I asked many people in THE WELL’s community and the consensus is “yes”. Our weight seems to define how we feel about ourselves. You said:

“The scale makes me feel horrible".

“I think about my weight all day long… when people are walking behind me, when I try on clothes, when I’m at my workout, all day long.”

“The number on the scale sets if I will feel good or bad about myself that day.”

“I’m obsessed with weighing myself.”
