250 Reverse Health: How to Create a Menopause Wellness Plan That Works for Midlife
Episode 250
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Show Notes If you’re eating “healthy,” trying to stay active, and doing all the right things—but your energy is low, the scale won’t budge, and your confidence feels shaken—this episode is for you. Menopause isn’t a personal failure; it’s a physiological shift that requires a different strategy. In this conversation, Stephanie Shaw sits down with Matt Jones, registered nutritionist and sports nutrition expert at Reverse Health, to unpack why midlife health plans often stop working—and what actually supports women during menopause. From changes in estrogen and gut health to muscle loss and metabolism, this episode reframes menopause as a season that calls for personalization, not punishment. Matt shares how inclusive nutrition, strength-focused fitness, sleep hygiene, and community support can help women rebuild trust with their bodies and create sustainable wellness plans that work with their hormones instead of against them. If you feel overwhelmed, confused by conflicting advice, or stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset around food and exercise, this episode offers clarity, science-backed reassurance, and practical next steps—without shame.
