You think the problem is food. Or maybe it's your lack of motivation. If only you had more discipline, or found the right plan, then everything would finally fall into place—right?
But what if the real reason you're not making progress isn't about food, or workouts, or willpower?
In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really getting in the way of your health habits—and it's probably not what you think. From skipping workouts to stress eating yogurt by the tub (yes, I've been there), we're diving into why so many smart, capable women are solving for the wrong problem… and how that keeps us stuck in patterns that don't serve us.
If you've ever said, "I know what to do, I just don't do it," this episode is your invitation to rethink everything you thought was the issue.
Because once you see what's really underneath the inconsistency, change becomes possible.
Why willpower isn't your problem (and never was)
How cultural conditioning sets women up to misdiagnose health struggles
A simple mindset shift that makes healthy habits more doable and sustainable
Hey! I love hearing from you. Send me a text. Let me know what resonated with you.
If you’re a woman in midlife who wants better health without obsessing over weight, you’re in the right place. I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a life and health coach and host of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast.
After coaching hundreds of women, I know the real problem usually isn’t “not enough information” – it’s too much of it, and not knowing where to start. With close to 300 episodes, this show can feel that way too.
To make it easy, I created a free Listener’s Roadmap that helps you figure out which episodes are right for you right now. Tell me what you’re struggling with – low energy, emotional eating, stress, sleep, exercise, or all of the above – and I’ll point you to a curated path of episodes and resources to get you moving.
