Description

Your body isn't broken. Your protocols are incomplete.

If you're a woman over 40 dealing with stubborn belly fat, 2 AM wake-ups, brain fog that makes you question yourself, or hot flashes that derail your day—and you're tired of being told to "just eat less and move more"—this podcast is for you.

I'm Miriam, a functional nutritionist and gut-hormone specialist who refuses to gaslight intelligent women about their bodies. This isn't another perimenopause podcast telling you to manage symptoms. This is about understanding what's actually happening in your body so you can work WITH it instead of against it.

Each week, we talk about:

The gut-brain-hormone axis and why your digestive issues are connected to your sleep problems

• Why cortisol dysregulation keeps you wired at night and storing belly fat during the day

• How insulin resistance shows up differently in perimenopause (and what to actually do about it)

• The metabolic phenotypes driving your symptoms: Cortisol-Wired, Estrogen-Stuck, Insulin-Inflamed, Thyroid Throttle-Down, and Slow Digestion

• Why evening effort sabotages your blood sugar, sleep quality, and hormone production overnight

• Nervous system stabilization (because no protocol works if your body is stuck in survival mode)

• Hormone-friendly nutrition that doesn't require restriction or willpower

This podcast is for women who:

  • Suspect their hormones and gut health are connected but don't know where to start
  • Are doing "everything right" but not getting results
  • Want the actual physiological explanation, not another surface-level symptom checklist
  • Are ready to stop managing perimenopause and start mastering it

Stop second-guessing your body. The Perimenopause Reset gives you the metabolic literacy to navigate midlife with clarity, confidence, and clinical precision.
