Fatigued? Weight gain? You Don’t Have a Discipline Problem, You Have Health Debt with Bria Gadd
If you feel like you’re doing everything right—working out, eating well, trying to manage your stress—but your body still isn’t responding, you are not crazy. And you’re not alone.   Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Bria Gadd, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer who specializes in female hormones. With more than 15 years of experience in the fitness and nutrition industry, Bria has helped thousands of women navigate the hormonal shifts of their late 30s to 50s. She is also the host of The Period Whisperer Podcast, a top 1% wellness podcast in the world, and has been featured in Fox News, Women’s Health, and leading women’s podcasts including The MidLife Makeover Show.   We talk about the very real difference between being “not diseased” and actually being optimized, and why the conventional advice to “just push harder” is the exact opposite of what our bodies actually need. We dive deep into the concept of “health debt,” why your body might be in survival mode, and how to start communicating with your body instead of fighting it. Whether you’re actively in perimenopause, preparing for it, or just trying to figure out why you feel so exhausted, Bria shares the exact steps to start rebuilding your energy and trust in your body.   In This Episode: Why doing “everything right” — cutting calories, working out harder — can actually backfire and cause weight gain and fatigue. Understanding “health debt” and how chronic stress puts the female body into survival mode. The critical difference between conventional lab testing and functional lab testing (and why your doctor might say you’re “fine” when you feel terrible). Why perimenopause is actually a gift and an opportunity for a “2.0” phase of life, rather than something to dread. Bria’s perspective on GLP-1s and peptides: when they are a helpful tool versus a dangerous quick fix. The specific functional labs to ask for: GI-MAP, DUTCH Complete, and a full thyroid panel. A realistic, hormone-supporting daily routine, including why you need 30 grams of protein at breakfast.   Resources & Links:   Connect with Bria: Instagram: @bria_period_whisperer Podcast: The Period Whisperer Website: briatheperiodwhisperer.com   Special Offer for Figuring It Out Listeners - Midlife Mojo:   Bria's online membership for women navigating perimenopause and menopause who are ready to stop guessing and start understanding their bodies.
