In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, I’m joined by registered dietitian and creator of The Perimenopause Diet, Laura Berger, for a deeply validating and eye-opening conversation about body changes in your 30s and 40s, perimenopause, weight fluctuations, insulin resistance, and why traditional “eat less, move more” advice stops working during this chapter of life.
Laura breaks down:
- Why fat gain and “fluffiness” can happen even when diet and exercise haven’t changed
- How declining estrogen, stress, sleep, and insulin resistance interact
- What most women misunderstand about intermittent fasting
- Why strength training is non-negotiable and how to do it correctly
- The real reason women feel out of control around food (hint: it’s not willpower)
- How to structure meals to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings, and improve sleep
- Holiday eating strategies that don’t derail progress or trigger guilt
This episode is full of reassurance, clarity, and truly empowering education for women navigating midlife shifts. If you’ve been feeling frustrated, confused, or stuck in your body…this one will feel like a breath of relief.
