When effort stops producing results, it’s often not a motivation problem. It’s a physiology problem, especially as hormones begin to shift.
In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Katie Hardy, Colorado-based board-certified holistic nutritionist and strength and conditioning specialist, to explore why fitness, diet, and exercise stop working the same way over time, particularly for women navigating perimenopause. Drawing from her work with high-performing athletes and active adults, Katie explains how hormonal changes, chronic stress, and under-recovery impact energy, body composition, mood, and long-term health, and why pushing harder often backfires during this stage of life.
“If things that used to work aren’t working anymore, that’s not failure. It’s feedback.”
– Katie Hardy
