Real Talk on Aging, Back Fat, Hormones &...

Chalene Johnson
About this episode

Ladies, if you've been wondering what the heck is going on with your body lately — think back fat, weird weight gain, and just not feeling like yourself — this episode is for you. Chalene is joined by her longtime friend and fellow health and fitness expert, Natalie Jill, for a totally unfiltered convo about perimenopause, hormones, and all the midlife body changes no one warned us about. They are busting myths, sharing hacks (some of them hilarious), and helping you stop feeling stuck when it comes to your health, weight, and confidence. Trust me, this is one of those episodes that’ll have you nodding along and texting it to your best friend. 

 

What You’ll Learn:

Why your body changes in midlife (even if your habits haven’t)

The real deal on visceral fat vs subcutaneous fat

Why spot reduction doesn’t work — and what actually does

What workouts actually support weight loss in menopause

How your hormones affect everything from mood to metabolism
