Trying to maintain your weight, let alone lose weight, in the summer can be incredibly challenging. The issue is that women try to use the same strategies they use in the fall and winter for summer, and it won't work because your environment is drastically different. I am going to cover the8-Step Summer System you build once and run every single year — so you stop being reactive and stop gaining it back each fall.

In this episode:
➤ Why summer is an environment problem, not a discipline problem
➤ The three problems that make fat loss feel impossible in the summer
➤ The eight-step summer system

➤ Cortisol + Inflammation Grocery List: https://www.vitalityoet.com/cortisol-grocerylist

Inflammation is the quiet brake on your fat loss — and some of the most powerful ways to take that brake off are sitting in the produce section. In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie gives you the exact polyphenol and antioxidant foods to build your plate around, explains why getting them from food beats every supplement on the shelf, and names the five biggest inflammation drivers in perimenopause and menopause you have to turn down so those foods can finally do their job.

You will learn why lowering inflammation releases the fat-loss brake, the top polyphenol and antioxidant foods to eat, and why whole food wins every time — the fibre, the blood sugar control, the fullness, and the gut microbiome support a capsule simply cannot give you. Then Stephanie breaks down the top 5 inflammation drivers in this season and exactly how to counteract each one.

If you are a woman in perimenopause or menopause who wants to lower inflammation, feel less puffy and stiff, and finally get fat loss moving again, this one is for you.

In this episode:
➤ Why lowering inflammation is one of the fastest ways to release the fat-loss brake
➤ The top polyphenol and antioxidant foods — berries, pomegranate, olive oil, greens, green tea, cacao, herbs & spices
➤ Why food beats supplements every time: fibre, blood sugar control, fullness, and gut microbiome support
➤ The top 5 inflammation drivers in peri and post-menopause — and how to turn each one down
➤ The order that turns “lower inflammation” into “accelerate fat loss”

You eat well, you take your vitamins, and you’re still running on empty — and the scale won’t move. In this episode, Stephanie breaks down what B vitamins are really doing inside your body. They don’t hand you energy; they’re the crew that turns the food you’re already eating into energy your body can burn. When they’re depleted, you feel exhausted and your body gets bad at burning calories — the same problem wearing two faces. And in perimenopause and menopause, that crew gets depleted faster than you can replace it.

You’ll learn:
Why B vitamins sit at the center of both energy and fat loss
The four jobs the B’s run: converting food, making stress hormones, steadying blood sugar, and methylation
Why stress, alcohol, caffeine, low stomach acid, PPIs, metformin, and oral contraceptives quietly drain you
Why a “normal” B12 lab can hide a real deficiency
The exact order to fix it — and why throwing a B-complex at the problem does nothing if you do it backwards

👉 DUTCH test info page: https://vitalityoet.lovable.app/

Your anxiety, your severe PMS, your flat mood in perimenopause — there is a gene that may be running all of it. In this episode of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast, Stephanie Crassweller breaks down the COMT gene (catechol-O-methyltransferase) — one of the most clinically significant genetic factors for women's hormonal health, and one almost nobody is talking about.

You'll learn: what COMT does in the body, why its variants — Slow, Intermediate, and Fast — produce completely opposite symptoms, how estrogen directly modulates COMT activity across the cycle and into perimenopause, and what targeted nutritional and lifestyle support looks like for each type. Includes a self-identification checklist, DUTCH test guidance, and practical protocols you can start today.

👉 How To Workout And Look Like It In Menopause | MMP Ep. 156: https://youtu.be/fCP9K4FHpxs
👉 5 Steps to go from Fat Storing to Burning in perimenopause and menopause | MMP Ep. 283: https://youtu.be/M1a3AXKno2c
👉 Workout Nutrition: https://www.vitalityoet.com/menopause-workout-nutrition

If cardio used to melt fat and now it seems to be doing the opposite, this episode explains exactly why.

In perimenopause and postmenopause, declining estrogen changes how your body fuels exercise, so the old formula of eating less and moving more quietly burns your muscle instead of your fat and leaves you softer, more bloated, and more tired. You'll learn precisely what to eat, how much, and when, so you can keep doing the cardio you love while protecting your muscle, your metabolism, and your energy.

You'll also learn why fasted and low carb cardio backfires after 40, how much protein you actually need now, the three fueling windows around every workout, and the recovery piece that quietly makes or breaks your results.

Subscribe for new episodes exploring women’s health, hormones, metabolism, and fat loss through perimenopause and beyond.
