Perimenopause is a BRAIN Issue, Not Just a Hormone Issue

Perimenopause: A Brain, Hormone and Full Body Experience Ali is back this week to breakdown where perimenopause starts, in brain, and how is trickles down to our hormones and our bodies and it's basically a feedback loop. This leads to a discussion of our nervous system and how being dysregulated is making our perimenopause experience even worse than it needs to be. We cover actual ways you can start to feel better that will have a positive impact on your own perimenopause journey. Books recommended include: Deep Work by Cal Newport Essentialism by Greg McKeown Metabolism Repair For Women by Laura Briden Connect with Ali at: https://www.alidamron.com/ https://www.instagram.com/alidamron --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/farfromperfectwithkylie/support

JK McLeod is joining me this week on Far From Perfect. JK is the host of the podcast, Help Me Understand, as well as a coach primarily focusing on training and mindset as well as co-founder of Feed Your Habits. In this episode JK and I are discussing what to do when the people around you seem to always sabotage your goals, knowingly or unknowingly and how to listen when a friend or loved one is expressing frustration on their end. Honestly, we cover a lot of ground! We are both also coaching and teaching in person again so we talk about the experience of connecting with clients and students in real life, not just virtually. JK's perspective and inquisitive mind always gets me thinking and I know he'll get your wheels turning as well.

After a summer hiatus, I am more than happy to be back with my podcast bestie Ali Damron. This was inspired by some BS we both keep seeing on Instagram. Most of the women we speak to are at the ends of their rope, navigating careers, parenthood, aging parents and perimenopause. Basically running around with their pants on fire. Everyone is searching for the solution, missing what the real issue is: IT'S TIME TO CHANGE. It's time to get brutally honest about what deserves your time and attention and also how you view the world. If only were as easy as taking a supplement. This is going to require some really hard choices. Connect with Ali on Instagram at @alidamron.

The thing with pushing "pause" on your healthy habits is, you only get good at stopping. You can't just pick up your healthy habits when life slows down, because life doesn't slow down. This episode teaches you how to scale your efforts so you can continue with momentum rather than starting from scratch every three months.

Today on Far From Perfect, I have for the second time Coach Mike Millner on what it takes to change. He owns Pop Nutrition and has a podcast called Mind Over Macros. We are going to dive into his 4 Pillars of Goal Achievement, which are 1. Physical 2. Willpower 3. iOS 4. Future Self I recently heard Mike speak at a coaching event and this was by far my favorite one. I also believe that when someone has actually gone through all the things(chronic diet, body dysmorphia, orthorexia) you know they've done the work. We talk about both of our journeys and we go into detail about the 4 Pillars above. When it comes down to it, the nutrition and the working out are the easy part, its the mindset shift. When the conditions stay the same, but your behavior changes then there is progress! Celebrating when bad shit DOESN'T happen. I think you guys are going to love this as much as I did. You can find Mike by listening to his podcast - Mind Over Macros(whatever platform you listen to your podcasts) and he's on instagram @coach_mike_millner Support the podcast with the following products and companies and programs:  *NEW*  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Macro Meal Plan Membership⁠⁠⁠⁠: with MyFitnessPal bar codes, macro information, shopping lists, and more. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Outwork Nutrition Supplements⁠⁠:⁠⁠⁠⁠ Use my code: KYLIE to save 10% on your first purchase.
