Why Does December Make Women Anxious, Sad, Depressed and Overwhelmed - 1253

If December feels like too much and everyone seems to expect you to hold it all together, this episode is the permission slip women have been waiting for. Chalene breaks down the invisible load so many women carry during the holidays, from money stress and body image to resentment in relationships and pressure to make everything perfect. She shares real messages from listeners, stories from her own circle, and why social media comparisons and unrealistic expectations make December feel extra heavy. Then she walks you through a powerful pen and paper exercise to separate what you can control from what you can let go of, and shares surprising new research on one simple habit that can lift anxiety and depression fast. If you have ever felt secretly tapped out, overwhelmed, or quietly angry at everyone around you this month, this conversation will help you release some of that weight and breathe again. 🔥Join Chalene on Patreon for all the "age-affirming" surgery Updates 👉 http://chalene.com/more 🎉Camp Be More 2026!!

The Hormone Red Flags Most Doctors Overlook in Women During Perimenopause and Menopause - 1252

Hormones start shifting way earlier than anyone tells us, and for most women over 35 that sneaky change can make you feel like you are aging in fast-forward. This episode breaks down the hormone symptoms most doctors overlook and explains what is actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when you suddenly have brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, low libido, or sleep that goes off a cliff. Chalene also clears up the outdated fears around hormone therapy and shares the updated science every woman needs, plus simple natural hormone support options if HRT is not your thing. And if you have ever felt dismissed or confused by conflicting advice, you will hear exactly how to find a clinician who actually understands women's hormone health so you can age powerfully instead of feeling unlike yourself.

Imagine having your own world-class registered dietitian designing every meal to fit your lifestyle, help you lose fat, and maintain lean muscle without spending a cent. In this episode, Chalene explains how to use AI as your personal nutrition coach to create a fully customized calorie deficit plan that actually works. She walks you step by step through how to use ChatGPT to calculate your macros, design meals you will love, and fine tune your plan when progress slows. If you have ever thought it would be easy to lose weight if someone just told you exactly what to eat, this episode will show you how to make that happen.

Your goal is to help me calculate my current maintenance calories, my total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), and my ideal calorie and macronutrient targets to lose an average of 2 pounds per week while maintaining lean muscle. Ask me one question at a time to gather all relevant details about my body composition, age, activity levels, metabolic history, diet history, and lifestyle factors that influence my caloric burn. Then calculate my results Prompt 2: Build My Custom 7-Day Meal Plan Act as a world-class registered dietitian and a women's health and nutrition expert. I have already determined my calorie and macronutrient targets for fat loss (listed above). Your job is to design a fully customized meal plan that fits those numbers and aligns with my lifestyle, preferences, and goals. Before creating the plan, ask me these questions one at a time to gather the following information: My food preferences Foods I dislike Any dietary restrictions My daily schedule Cooking skill Kitchen access Digestive issues Taste preferences Eating-out frequency Convenience needs Cultural or religious food practices Exercise routine Budget Preferred number of meals per day Any other lifestyle factors needed to customize the plan. Follow-Up Prompt for Progress Adjustments I've been following my plan for two weeks and haven't lost any weight. Walk me through possible reasons one question at a time and help me troubleshoot. Consider things like accuracy of food tracking, water retention, hormonal changes, sleep, activity level, and stress. Then, help me update my calorie or macro targets if needed. 🤓 Related Episodes: Exactly What I'd Do If I Wanted to Lose 20 Pounds (Step by Step) Watch: https://youtu.be/ul74gsY-cRo?si=4BThCDsH3pOcjYEx Listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-chalene-show-diet-fitness-life-balance/id911042029?i=1000703139340 7 Tiny Habits That *Actually* Changed My Life Over 50 (Wish I Knew Sooner!)

Chalene breaks down the case like only she can, with a mix of compassion, disbelief, and questions no one else seems to be asking.
