The Elise Tzurkov Podcast

For a long time, chronic stress kept me stuck in high gear. In this episode, I open up about how I finally broke out of survival mode.  I share the raw, hard-won work behind retraining my nervous system—including why trendy tools like a cold plunge are just small pieces of the puzzle rather than a magic fix. Tune in to learn how committing to daily regulation completely changed how I feel, heal, and show up in the world.

In this episode, I share what I learned from my most successful masterclass yet—and why the conversation around HRT has shifted. Many women have moved from fearing that HRT isdangerous to worrying it will cause weight gain, while others are being prescribed hormones without enough testing, careful dose adjustment, or a personalized.  In this episode, I reflecton the questions and concerns that surfaced during the masterclass, including why women can still feel exhausted, bloated, or wake at 3 a.m. even when their lab results are “normal.” I explain how symptoms can offer important clues, andconnect hormone therapy with gut health, blood sugar, stress, cortisol, and sleep. It’s a practical conversation for anyone navigating perimenopause or menopause and trying to make sense of the advice they’re hearing.

Why does your body feel like it's working against you in perimenopause? In this episode, I explain that your metabolism has one job: making babies. When progesterone drops, it signals "it's not safe," and your body shifts into survival mode. That means low libido, stubborn belly fat, intense cravings and a shorter fuse. The fix isn't more cardio or fewer calories. I share simple ways to rebuild insulin sensitivity: eat three real meals, stop snacking, walk after eating, lift weights three days a week and wake at the same time every day. Your metabolism isn't against you. It's trying to protect you.

The healthiest version of you after 40 isn’t built by eating less, chasing skinny, or playing by the old rules. In this episode I break down why lifting heavy, prioritizing protein, weighing your food, and ditching the bagel-scooping mentality are just the beginning. True transformation takes discipline, firm boundaries, and a stronger version of yourself to chase.  Consistency over perfection, always.  If you’re ready to stop settling for how you feel and start becoming the strongest, healthiest, most confident version of yourself, this is your wake-up call. Stop waiting for the perfect time.

Press play, take notes, and start showing up for the woman you’re becoming.

What if putting yourself first means letting your family down? For many women, the fear of letting their family down makes their own health feel like the easiest thing to postpone—until “later” becomes another year of exhaustion, worry, and waiting.  In this episode, I make the case that caring for yourself isn’t abandoning your family. It’s making sure you can keep showing up for them without losing yourself in the process. You’ll hear why “my family needs me” can become a reason to ignoreyour own needs, how to start making space for your health without waiting for life to get easier, and why taking one step for yourself can be a gift to the people who love you. If choosing yourself feels selfish—or even frightening—this conversation may help you see it differently. What could change for you and your family if you stopped waiting to put your health first?
