They also talk honestly about alcohol, sleep, muscle, and why the number of calories you can eat has more to do with muscle than motivation.</p><p><b>What you&apos;ll learn:</b></p><ul><li>Why perimenopause belly fat happens (and why it shows up now when it didn&apos;t in your 20s)</li><li>The difference between weight gain and fat gain, and how you can drop or add 15 pounds in 72 hours without gaining an ounce of fat</li><li>Why your doctor&apos;s &quot;just eat less and exercise more&quot; advice keeps failing you</li><li>How much alcohol is really costing you in sleep, recovery, and calories</li><li>Why eating too little can stall your weight loss, and how to figure out how many calories you actually need</li></ul><p>Chapters:</p><p>0:00   Intro: Meet Andrea and Guest Aram Grigorian<br/>2:25   Why Women Aren&apos;t Broken: Aram&apos;s Story<br/>6:30   Why Perimenopause Weight Goes to Your Belly<br/>12:00  Weight Gain vs Fat Gain: The 15-Pound Water Weight Swing<br/>17:30  &quot;Eat Less, Move More&quot; and Being Dismissed by Your Doctor<br/>24:30  Alcohol, Sleep, and Your Menopause Weight<br/>32:00  Why Eating Too Little Stalls Your Weight Loss<br/>39:00  Muscle, Body Fat, and How Many Calories You Really Need<br/>45:30  Body Image, Mindset, and Getting Your Partner On Board<br/>51:30  What You Can Actually Control (Plus Where to Find Aram)</p><p>Learn more about Aram: https://www.instagram.com/4weeks2thebeach<br/><br/></p><p>Listen to Andrea&apos;s interview on Aram&apos;s Podcast 211.

It is not a pitch for a magic pill, just a grounded look at one more option so you can decide what is right for you and your body.<br/><br/>Topics Covered<br/><br/></p><ul><li>Why weight and appetite feel so different in perimenopause and menopause</li><li>The willpower myth, and why hunger is biology, not a personal failing</li><li>What GLP-1s are in plain English, and why everyone is talking about them</li><li>Where Calocurb came from, and the New Zealand science behind it</li><li>How a natural, hops-based option is different from the injections</li><li>What it is actually like to use day to day</li><li>What the research has shown so far</li><li>A straight answer on the canola oil question</li><li>Sarah&apos;s honest story of making peace with food</li><li>Why this is one tool, not a magic fix</li></ul><p><br/>Use this link to save on Calocurb: https://www.calocurb.com/morphus</p><p>Chapters</p><p>0:00 At peace with food (promo)<br/>0:50 Welcome and who is Andrea Donsky<br/>1:46 Meet Sarah Kennedy, and life in New Zealand<br/>3:24 What is a GLP-1, and why it is everywhere<br/>5:59 Satiety hormones and what shifts in perimenopause<br/>6:52 Willpower is a misnomer: the physiology of hunger<br/>9:46 The Calocurb origin story: New Zealand government science<br/>11:53 Bitter taste receptors all the way down the gut<br/>13:20 1,000 extracts tested, and why hops won<br/>14:46 The first human clinical: a 600% hormone increase<br/>15:57 How it compares to semaglutide and Ozempic<br/>16:59 How to take it: timing, empty stomach, and onboarding<br/>19:10 Why it is considered gentle on the body<br/>20:27 Building a routine and intermittent fasting<br/>21:24 Can you take it with your medications<br/>22:23 Side effects, bloating, and what they actually mean<br/>23:37 Gastroparesis: how it differs from the synthetics<br/>24:59 The clinical studies, including a women-only trial<br/>28:11 Blood sugar, insulin resistance, and the newest trial<br/>29:25 A message for women gaining weight in midlife<br/>30:41 Sarah&apos;s personal story with food<br/>32:45 Age limits and adolescent research<br/>33:33 Do you take it forever, and the weight-regain question<br/>36:44 The canola oil question, answered transparently<br/>39:54 Hops and estrogen: is there an effect<br/>41:08 Where to find Calocurb<br/>42:13 A tool in the toolkit<br/>43:12 Closing thoughts and how you can help</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1374700/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p>  <p>======<br/>Morphus: Menopause Reimagined<br/><br/>💊 Shop Morphus Supplements: https://wearemorphus.com/collections/all</p><p>📖 Order &quot;Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition &amp; Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best.&quot; (Simon &amp; Schuster, May 5, 2026)</p><p><b>Amazon Canada: </b><a href='https://amzn.to/4xaREJK'>https://amzn.to/4xaREJK</a> </p><p><b>Amazon US: </b><a href='https://amzn.to/4rFj7jk'>https://amzn.to/4rFj7jk</a> </p><p>📰 As seen in USA Today: https://bit.ly/43nrMwO  <br/>✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh<br/>🦋 SUBSCRIBE to our list: https://bit.ly/3VdDA0V<br/><br/>FOLLOW US: </p><p>TikTok @andreadonsky &amp; @wearemorphus</p><p>Instagram: @wearemorphus | @andreadonsky</p><p>Facebook: /wearemorphus<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice.

She&apos;ll help you connect the dots if you&apos;ve taken the pill in the past or are on the pill now. </p><p><b>Topic Covered: </b></p><ul><li>What the pill does (synthetic estrogen + progestin), why the “period” on it is a withdrawal bleed, and how it can hide your true perimenopause status.</li><li>Why progestins can raise anxiety/depression risk, and how bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, bones, and thyroid.</li><li>Thyroid connection: How the pill can deplete nutrients and interfere with T4→T3 conversion, and raise hypothyroid risk when midlife thyroid issues already spike.</li><li>Leaky gut, depleted lacto/bifido, and why protecting your mucosal lining matters for autoimmune risk.</li><li>Testing that helps (and when): Why FSH/E2/Progesterone timing matters off the pill, plus affordable bloodwork that gives clues even when hormones fluctuate.</li><li>How to think about nutrient repletion (methylated B’s, magnesium, zinc, selenium) and why an IUD or mini-pill (progestin-only) isn’t automatically a better choice.</li><li>Topical/oral/vaginal progesterone options, DHEA and pregnenolone basics, and why “fit + formulation + timing” often matter more than the dose.</li><li>Red meat, ferritin, and genetics: Why iron can climb post-menopause, when to watch ferritin, and how genetics (MTHFR, APOE) affect it.</li><li>When your long-time GYN isn’t the right HRT partner, and how to add a practitioner who actually understands midlife hormones.</li></ul><p><b>Links From The Show:</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://wearemorphus.com/pages/research-surveys'>Perimenopause, Menopause &amp; Pelvic Health Survey</a></li><li><a href='https://bit.ly/3BZGYpd'>DNA Company</a></li><li><a href='https://youtu.be/spgb4KkeLdA'>Why You Should Test Your Iron Levels in Menopause with Dr. Christy Sutton</a></li><li><a href='https://youtu.be/BV1Ba3B_PEI'>Dr. Thomas Perls on Longevity Tips from Studying Centenarians</a></li><li><a href='https://youtu.be/-ap8SM3XpRo'>Understanding Bio-Identical Hormones (BHRT) and Menopause with Dr. Chris Shade</a></li><li><a href='https://bit.ly/43u9rz9'>Julva</a></li></ul><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1374700/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p>  <p>======<br/>Morphus: Menopause Reimagined<br/><br/>💊 Shop Morphus Supplements: https://wearemorphus.com/collections/all</p><p>📖 Order &quot;Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition &amp; Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best.&quot; (Simon &amp; Schuster, May 5, 2026)</p><p><b>Amazon Canada: </b><a href='https://amzn.to/4xaREJK'>https://amzn.to/4xaREJK</a> </p><p><b>Amazon US: </b><a href='https://amzn.to/4rFj7jk'>https://amzn.to/4rFj7jk</a> </p><p>📰 As seen in USA Today: https://bit.ly/43nrMwO  <br/>✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh<br/>🦋 SUBSCRIBE to our list: https://bit.ly/3VdDA0V<br/><br/>FOLLOW US: </p><p>TikTok @andreadonsky &amp; @wearemorphus</p><p>Instagram: @wearemorphus | @andreadonsky</p><p>Facebook: /wearemorphus<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice.

During menopause, there&apos;s an accelerated accumulation of senescent cells (zombie cells) in the body, which can trigger inflammation, joint pain, and other age-related issues that make menopausal symptoms more challenging to manage. Understanding these changes helps women take steps to help them feel better and improve their long-term health.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>In episode #116 of &quot;Menopause Reimagined,&quot; Andrea Donsky chats with Melissa Hyde, a fitness expert, about the power of weightlifting for women in perimenopause and menopause. With over 35 years of experience, Melissa shares her insights on how strength training can enhance overall health and help with weight gain, longevity/healthspan, and quality of life for midlife women.<br/><br/>This episode highlights the critical importance of incorporating strength training into midlife women&apos;s fitness routines. By dispelling common myths and emphasizing the health benefits associated with weightlifting, Andrea and Melissa aim to inspire listeners to embrace a more active lifestyle for better health outcomes during menopause.<br/><br/><b>Key Takeaways<br/></b><br/><b>The Need for Strength Training: </b><br/>Women lose muscle mass and bone density as early as 30, losing 3-5% per decade. By age 80, this could lose up to 30% of muscle mass if not addressed through strength training.<br/><br/><b>Myth-Busting Weightlifting: </b><br/>Many women fear becoming &quot;bulky&quot; from lifting weights. Melissa emphasizes that building significant muscle mass requires dedicated training and is not a concern for most women.<br/><b><br/>Health Benefits of Muscle Mass: </b><br/>Increased muscle mass is linked to improved longevity, cognitive health, and reduced risk of falls and fractures. Strength training helps maintain independence as women age.<br/><br/><b>Recommended Training Frequency: </b><br/>Melissa suggests that midlife women use strength training 2-4 times per week, focusing on proper form and gradually increasing intensity.<br/><br/><b>Connection Between Muscle and Bone Health:</b><br/>Lifting weights applies force on bones, promoting bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.<br/><br/>Work with Melissa https://morphus--menopausereset.thrivecart.com/luving-her-project/<br/><br/>Follow Melissa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaannhyde<br/><br/><b>Upcoming Event</b><br/><b>Power of Menopause Summit</b><br/>Date: October 25th, 9 AM to 5 PM (Virtual)<br/>A free online summit designed to empower women through education and resources related to menopause.<br/>Registration here: https://thepowerofmenopause.com/ <br/><br/>Morphus Fiberus: https://bit.ly/3Q0wRFu <br/>Morphus Omega: 3-T https://bit.ly/3rpSFjC <br/>Morphus Toco-E: https://bit.ly/44TxFAt <br/>Morphus Magnesium: https://bit.ly/43Agse2 <br/>Workplace Survey :https://forms.gle/2QDLPJFe4mukd5gZ8<br/>Surveys: https://wearemorphus.com/pages/research-surveys</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1374700/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p>  <p>======<br/>Morphus: Menopause Reimagined<br/><br/>💊 Shop Morphus Supplements: https://wearemorphus.com/collections/all</p><p>📖 Order &quot;Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition &amp; Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best.&quot; (Simon &amp; Schuster, May 5, 2026)</p><p><b>Amazon Canada: </b><a href='https://amzn.to/4xaREJK'>https://amzn.to/4xaREJK</a> </p><p><b>Amazon US: </b><a href='https://amzn.to/4rFj7jk'>https://amzn.to/4rFj7jk</a> </p><p>📰 As seen in USA Today: https://bit.ly/43nrMwO  <br/>✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh<br/>🦋 SUBSCRIBE to our list: https://bit.ly/3VdDA0V<br/><br/>FOLLOW US: </p><p>TikTok @andreadonsky &amp; @wearemorphus</p><p>Instagram: @wearemorphus | @andreadonsky</p><p>Facebook: /wearemorphus<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Research Surveys to further menopause research: https://wearemorphus.com/pages/research-surveys <br/>Doctors Visits Survey: https://forms.gle/w3cksHc6mt2v7GNu9 <br/>Shop Morphus Menopause Supplements: https://bit.ly/3QpGyxl <br/><br/>Andrea Donsky is a nutritionist, menopause educator, researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphous.com. In this interview, she talks with Dr. Michelle May a former family physician, recovered yo-yo dieter, and founder of amihungry.com.
