Have you been finding yourself a little out of whack? Have you been struggling with the physical and emotional changes related to perimenopause or menopause? Are you dealing with a new health issue, or trying to avoid one? Are you trying to lose weight, gain more energy, or just feel like yourself again? On this episode of the More Beautiful Podcast, I chat with Skye Dale, a functional medicine health and wellness coach who once struggled with her own health challenges. We address all the stuff that may be bogging you down, and dishing out tips on how you can feel better, get your health back on track, and enjoy a long, fulfilling second act.
Among the topics Skye and I talk about:
- What drove Skye to take inventory of her own health and wellness
- Why it’s so hard to lose weight in midlife, and how to set yourself up for success
- The complex relationship between increased belly fat and insulin resistance in midlife
- What she thinks is the most important indicator of whether or not you will reach your health goals
- The pros and cons of Ozempic and other diabetes/weight-loss drugs
- How taking stock of your relationships is a non-negotiable part of your health journey
- How you can start to boost your self-esteem and confidence on a deep level
- Why you may need to change your relationship with food
- How our generation needs to rewrite the outdated health and beauty messages we grew up with
- What exactly sugar does to your body and why Skye believes in sugar detoxes
- Whether or not counting calories and owning a scale are good thing
- How to slow down muscle loss, burn more fat, and get in your best shape right now
- What ubiquitous 1980s “diet” food is back in a big way
