395: Perimenopause Weight Loss + Counting Macros: What You’re Doing Wrong w/ Amber Brueseke
Struggling with weight loss in your late 30s or 40s? You’re not alone. Perimenopause can throw your metabolism for a loop — such that your usual go-to strategies no longer work (and might even cause perimenopause weight gain).
In this episode, I’m joined by Amber Brueseke, founder of Biceps After Babies and MACROS 101, to unpack the real reasons perimenopause weight loss is so challenging — and what to do instead.
We dive into:
💪 Why muscle loss starting in your late 30s makes weight loss harder
🥑 What people get wrong about macro counting
⏱️ Whether fasting is your friend or foe
🚫 And why diet strategies like keto, low-carb or calorie counting isn’t the answer
Amber’s practical, no-BS approach will leave you feeling empowered — not defeated — about what’s possible in your 30s, 40s, and beyond.
