2026/10/06

You know how it goes: you’re on plan for losing weight in perimenopause, and things are on track for a few weeks. You're eating well, you're moving, you’re good. And then you start to slack a little, and a voice says “you've earned a break”, and somehow that break lasts a month. Sound familiar? That was Heather. And she's here to tell you exactly what changed. Heather Silver is a student inside The Perimenopause Weight Loss Method, and she is not a woman who doesn't try. In fact, she travel...

Why Your GLP-1 Needs An Anti-Inflammatory Diet

The Midlife Mom Edit: Redefining Health & Wellness... ·

2026/09/29

If you're on a GLP-1 (or thinking about it) and still wondering "but what should I actually eat?" — this episode is exactly what you need right now. I've been getting so many questions from women who are taking a GLP-1 and losing weight but still not feeling great. They want me to evaluate their plates, they want to know if they're doing it “right”, and almost every single time, the answer comes back to what they're eating. Today I'm breaking down exactly why pairing your GLP-1 with anti-i...

Why You Can't Get Started (And What To Do About It)

2026/09/22

When you're trying to lose weight in midlife, you know what you're supposed to be doing. More protein. Strength training. Less junk food. And yet, you still can't get started. This episode is for the woman who has bought every $27 program, pinned every recipe, and still wakes up every morning feeling stuck. The good news for you today is that I'm not going to give you more information — I'm going to tell you why none of that information has worked, and what to actually do about it. I share ...

What You Believe About Aging Is Shaping Your Body

2026/09/15

When it comes to health and fitness, do you ever catch yourself thinking "this is just what getting older looks like"? That thought is costing you more than you realize. In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation in a hotel room with my dear friend Judy — and why it changed the way I think about aging entirely. The stories we carry about getting older aren't just thoughts. They're instructions we give ourselves every single day, and they show up in every choice we make around food, moveme...

Why Strong Women Still People-Please (And Pay For It)

2026/09/08

You've tried to eat well, you've tried to be consistent, and yet you keep going off-plan in moments you didn't even see coming. What if it's not lack of willpower? What if it's people-pleasing in disguise? In this episode, we get into something that most high-achieving women never see in themselves: the quiet ways people-pleasing is sabotaging their weight loss in perimenopause. Not the doormat version. The version that looks like being a good mom, not wanting to rock the boat, and just bein...

Grab a piece of paper for this interactive and insightful episode, and by the end, you’ll be talking to yourself (and losing weight!) in a completely new way! For the last couple of months, I've been collecting phrases. Real things that real women say to me on coaching calls, in my DMs, and inside The Method. The things you say to yourself about your health, your body, and your ability to feel good in midlife. And what this list makes clear is this: the way you talk to yourself is making i...

2026/08/25

Have you ever looked at GLP-1s and thought, "I haven't earned that yet"? Or “that feels like cheating.” You're not alone — and this episode is for you. In this very first episode of The Midlife Mom Edit I'm kicking it off with a conversation I keep having with women in my coaching program and in my DMs. The emotional weight you're carrying around GLP-1s. Not the side effects, or the cost, or the fear of needles. The feeling that you need to hit some invisible milestone before you're allowed...

For every midlife woman who has built a solid weight loss plan, only to watch it fall apart the minute life got chaotic -- this episode is for you! You know how it feels...you quit, then feel like you have to start over from scratch.

If you're trying to lose weight in your 40s and you can't make it to lunch without grabbing a snack, or you hit a wall of exhaustion every morning around 10:30, your breakfast is the reason. Not your willpower. Not your discipline. Your breakfast. In this episode, I am sharing the one rule that has changed the way my clients eat in the morning — and the way I eat every single day. It's simple, specific, and it works with your body in perimenopause, not against it. I call it the 40-gram b...

This is the 100th episode of The Family Fork, and I'm celebrating the only way I know how: by handing you 10 lessons the last 100 episodes have taught me, (or confirmed for me), about weight loss in midlife. Not your run-of-the-mill advice, and one lesson may even make you a little uncomfortable. But all 10 are lessons I stand behind completely. Getting to episode 100 was not a smooth, easy road. I built this show around a full client schedule, raising my kids, a marriage and household tha...

If you've quietly started to wonder "what's the point", this episode is for you. I keep hearing the same thing from women in my world.

But I actually looked into it and realized there was more to it than I thought. In this episode, I am breaking down the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, plus the seventh one that nobody else has added before. Lifestyle medicine is a root-cause approach to your health, built to treat, prevent, and sometimes even reverse chronic conditions, which makes it ...

If you'd asked me a year ago whether I'd be recording this episode, I would have said no way. For a long time, I had a pretty firm opinion about GLP-1 peptides — and it wasn't a good one. But six months into my own peptide journey, my entire perspective has shifted. And today, I'm sharing the whole honest story with you. If you've struggled with food noise (if you know, you know). If inflammation is constant. If the pounds won't budge no matter what, you need to listen to this episode....
