  • Why Am I Gaining Weight When I'm Barely Eating?
    Feb 26 2026

    Why You Can Gain Weight in Menopause Even When You’re Barely Eating
    Host Lynda Enright explains why many women in perimenopause and menopause can gain weight despite eating less, emphasizing that it’s not a willpower issue and the body isn’t broken. She covers metabolic adaptation from long-term calorie restriction, the common “barely eating” pattern and its effects on blood sugar, cortisol, and fat storage, and how muscle loss after 40—often worsened by dieting—slows metabolism. She shares a client story (“Sarah”) whose weight gain, cravings, fatigue, and poor sleep improved after increasing protein, stabilizing meals, adding strength training, improving sleep routines, and reducing food fear rather than restricting more. The episode highlights stress and poor sleep as key metabolic drivers, encourages prioritizing strength training and adequate protein in midlife, and invites listeners to schedule a free call to discuss metabolism, stress, and next steps.

  • Nourishing Your Gut During Menopause: The Importance of Gentle Cooking
    Jan 22 2026

    Nourishing Your Gut During Menopause: The Importance of Gentle Cooking

    In this episode of Joyful Menopause, host Lynda Enright delves into how simple, everyday cooking choices can support gut health during midlife. She explains that cooking isn't about gourmet perfection but rather a health skill that calms the nervous system, stabilizes blood sugar, and eases symptoms such as bloating, brain fog, and inflammation commonly experienced during perimenopause and menopause. Lynda emphasizes that gut support does not mean elimination but rather creating a balanced and varied diet. She highlights the benefits of warm, gently cooked food over raw, cold dishes and how these choices improve digestion and reduce stress. By the end of the episode, listeners are encouraged to try incorporating one additional plant-based food into their diet and preparing it in a supportive way. The overarching message is to approach menopause with a gentler, more skillful method of self-care, focusing on support rather than restriction.
