151 | Why Willpower Can't Fix Hormone Imbalance in Menopause

Feeling like your hormones have completely taken over — your mood, your brain, even your ability to make a simple meal plan in menopause? In this episode, I'm inviting you into my own story of hormone imbalance, brain fog, and the surprising gift of humility in midlife. I share the morning in my kitchen when I finally broke down before the Lord, realizing that white-knuckling, over-controlling, and trying to "do all the things" was not the path to healing. We'll talk about what actually happens as hormones shift in menopause — how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, and cortisol impact your brain, energy, weight, sleep, and resilience — and why your old strategies of "eat less, move more" stopped working. You'll learn what it looks like to stop fighting your midlife body and start partnering with it through protein, strength training, recovery, boundaries, and a posture of surrender instead of pressure. If you've been frustrated with your body, your hormones, or your lack of "willpower," this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a fresh start. Press play, and then come share your takeaway with us inside the Menopause Makeover community.
