Guest: Bria Gadd — The Period Whisperer
Are you eating healthy, exercising regularly, and doing everything you've been told to do, yet STILL gaining weight, struggling with sleep, or feeling exhausted?
What if the problem isn't your hormones alone—or that you're not trying hard enough?
In this episode, JJ Flizanes welcomes Bria Gadd, The Period Whisperer, to explore the connection between perimenopause, cortisol, chronic stress, metabolism, and what Bria calls HEALTH DEBT.
Bria shares her personal journey from fitness professional to perimenopause expert after experiencing unexplained weight gain, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and hormonal changes—even while maintaining her healthy habits.
Together, JJ and Bria discuss why simply eating less and exercising more may not be the answer, and why understanding your body's energy demands, nervous system, and capacity for recovery is essential.
The takeaway: Your body may not need you to work HARDER. It may need you to understand what it's asking for and support it differently.
