The Menopause Myths They Believed, and How They Took Their Power Back
Rooted in Resilience
Final Empowering Messages About Aging
Julie and Keli stress menopause doesn't mean decline; aim to be wise, strong, and healthy older women.
In this honest and eye-opening episode, we unpack the myths surrounding menopause and the confusion so many women face when trying to care for their health during this stage of life. Ash and Sarah Armstrong are joined by Julie and Keli (who went through the Transform program and are now Transform coaches) who share their personal experiences navigating menopause, unlearning misinformation, and rebuilding trust in their bodies.
Together, they talk about the impact of chronic dieting, food rules, and societal pressure on women’s health. And how shifting toward intentional eating, strength training, and supportive habits changed everything.
Julie and Keli open up about what they once believed, what actually didn’t work, and the mindset shifts that helped them regain energy, confidence, and control. This conversation highlights the power of education, community, and informed choices, while offering practical insight into why fueling well and building strength matter at any age. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or stuck in menopause, this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and hopeful.

A Transform review from ANDREA who is in menopause at age 59 =
"I'm 59 and post menopausal, and it seems that weight loss is so much harder than it was when I was young. Before this program, nothing I had done before menopause worked to get rid of the 40 pounds I gained during menopause....
I'm now a year into Transform (2 cuts) and I am down 15 pounds and I am stronger than I have ever been (at age 59!) I had not been able to lose at all in the years before I started this program...
What I love about this program is that in between my fat loss phases (once my calories go up) I can live my life. I also like that I can eat carbs and realize how much better I feel when I do...
We're making real, lasting changes to our bodies. A true transformation!"
