The Elise Tzurkov Podcast

Most women in perimenopause and menopause think weight loss is only about eating less and trying harder. But your health impacts everything—your energy, metabolism, mood, sleep, stress, and how you feel in your body every single day. In this Mother’s Day episode, I share how small, sustainable habits like strength training, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, stress regulation, and nervous system support can completely transform your health in midlife. This isn’t about perfection or extreme dieting—it’s about giving yourself the gift of health, strength, and longevity—something you’ll never regret. Mothers and caregivers spend their lives taking care of everyone else… but when was the last time you truly prioritized yourself?

Most women are sold GLP-1s as the ultimate shortcut to weight loss—especially in perimenopause and menopause. But GLP-1s don’t fix the root issues driving weight gain. Yes, they suppress appetite, but they can also lead to muscle loss, gut disruption, and a false sense of long-term success.
Weight loss in perimenopause and menopause still comes down to fundamentals: a strategic calorie deficit, strength training, hormone support, and stress regulation. GLP-1s may accelerate results, but without a solid foundation, they don’t sustain them. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause, the goal isn’t quick weight loss—it’s lasting metabolic health.
Are you building a body that keeps the weight off—or relying on GLP-1s to do the work for you?

Most women in perimenopause are suddenly told they haveADHD—but what if it’s not ADHD at all? In this episode, I challenge the surge in midlife ADHD diagnoses, revealing how perimenopause can mimic classic ADHD symptoms like brain fog, distraction, and overwhelm. As hormones shift, yourbrain changes—but that doesn’t mean you’re broken. You’ll learn how perimenopause impacts focus, why self-diagnosing ADHD can mislead you, and what your body is actually signaling. Before you label yourself, understand this: is it truly ADHD—or is your perimenopause brain asking for a different kind ofsupport?
