It's a constant debate as you get older, between "should I lose weight" or "should I eat healthier" as you navigate perimenopause or menopause. This week, we're diving into this very topic and exploring how these two goals can actually go hand-in-hand.

Ashley shares her personal journey and insights, reminding us that feeling good in our bodies is the ultimate aim. We'll unpack why weight gain in midlife can impact our health and how embracing an anti-inflammatory nutrition approach benefits us in so many ways.

In this episode we cover:

• The Intertwined Goals: Discover how losing weight can positively impact your overall health markers and how healthy eating naturally supports weight management.
• Navigating the Challenges: We'll tackle common hurdles like being swayed by others' opinions, the fear of failure, and the importance of having the right support system.
• The Power of Feedback: Learn why starting with a focus on weight loss can provide valuable and immediate feedback to keep you motivated and on track.
• Building a Sustainable Lifestyle: Ultimately, it's about creating a way of eating and living that makes you feel strong, healthy, and confident for the long haul.

Whether your primary focus is shedding pounds or simply embracing healthier habits, this episode offers encouragement and practical insights to help you achieve your goals and feel fantastic in your own skin!
