The Elise Tzurkov Podcast

If you’ve been saying “I’ll start later” when it comes to your health, this is your wake-up call.  As women in perimenopause and menopause, our time and energy hit differently — andpretending otherwise keeps us stuck.

In this episode, I’m having an honest conversation about time, energy, and money and how reframing these choices can help you lose weight, improve body composition, balance hormones, and feel like yourself again.

That goal you keep putting off? It matters.
Let’s shift your perspective so you can stop waiting and start feeling your best.

In this episode, I break down the why and how of two simple,affordable self-care practices: dry brushing and castor oil packs. These gentle rituals may seem small, but when done consistently, they can have a powerful impact on your overall health and wellbeing.

If you’re a woman navigating perimenopause or menopause, this one’s especially for you.  Hormonal shifts can feel overwhelming, but the little things we do every day truly matter.Supporting your body doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive—it just has to be intentional.

Grab your brush, your castor oil, and let’s talk about how simple daily habits can help you feel more grounded, supported, and in tune with your body.

As I turn 47, I can honestly say this—I truly love myself and my life.

That didn’t happen overnight. It came from years of learning, unlearning, and growing through seasons that stretched me in ways I didn’t expect.

I’m not a doctor—and I’m grateful for the care mine hasgiven me. But even good doctors aren’t always right for you. I’velearned there’s a fine line between trusting medical expertise and trusting your own instincts. In this video, I share how to recognize that moment, when it’s okay to speak up, question the advice, or even find a new doctor. So how do you know when following orders helps… and when it’s time to advocate for yourself?

Buffer foods vs. trigger foods—do you know the difference, and could it be the missing piece in your weight-loss journey?

In this episode, I break down exactly what buffer foods are, what trigger foods are, and how identifying yours can help you feel more in control, and stop the cycle of frustration.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and struggling with weight loss, it’s not about willpower—it’s about understanding how certain foods affect your emotions. While buffer foods and trigger foods are different for everyone,the impact on perimenopause weight loss, cravings, inflammation, and fatstorage is very real.

Are your food choices helping your perimenopause weight loss goals…or quietly working against them?
