Summary

Hi, I’m Michelle, health and fitness coach by day, chauffeur and snack dealer to my three kids by night.

If you’re a woman over 35 wondering why your body suddenly feels different, you’re not alone.

Maybe you know how to lose weight, but nothing seems to work anymore. You “eat good” all day, then lose it at night. You crave sweets constantly, feel exhausted, gain weight around your midsection, and wonder why the same things that worked in your 20s and 30s suddenly stopped working.

You start over every Monday, live by food rules, and let the scale decide your mood. You avoid photos, wear the same “good enough” outfit, and feel frustrated because you’re trying so hard but still don’t feel at home in your body.

If that’s you, I see you.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And you do not need another extreme diet.

You’re navigating real life, real stress, changing hormones, busy schedules, aging parents, growing kids, and a body that needs a different kind of support now.

I know what it’s like to chase “perfect” eating and still feel out of control around food. For years I thought healthy eating had to feel restrictive and miserable. But what finally changed things wasn’t more discipline. It was letting go of food guilt, building realistic habits, learning how to fuel my body, and realizing you can eat the salad and the whoopie pie and still be healthy.

Here you’ll learn how to:

✨lose weight during perimenopause without obsession

✨stop nighttime overeating

✨feel in control around sweets

✨build strength and support your metabolism as you age

✨create simple eating habits that work in real mom life

✨ditch all-or-nothing thinking for good

We’ll talk:

  • perimenopause weight gain
  • strength training for women 35+
  • emotional eating
  • food freedom
  • realistic nutrition
  • body confidence
  • healthy habits for busy moms
  • sustainable weight loss that actually lasts

Because this season of life isn’t about becoming smaller at all costs.

It’s about becoming stronger, healthier, more confident, and finally feeling peaceful around food and your body.

  • 19 | Is Stress Causing You to Go into Starvation Mode
    May 11 2026

    Is stress causing your weight gain or is that just what social media wants you to believe?

    If you’re a woman over 35 who feels constantly busy, overwhelmed, and stuck with your weight, especially around your midsection, you’ve probably heard that cortisol, stress, or “fight or flight” is the reason nothing is working.

    But what’s actually true?

    In this episode of Weight Loss with a Side of Grace, we’re breaking down stress and weight gain, how stress impacts your body, and what’s really happening when it comes to cortisol, metabolism, digestion, and energy levels.

    You’ll learn:

    • How stress affects weight gain and belly fat (especially after 35)
    • What “fight or flight” really means and what it doesn’t
    • How stress impacts digestion, metabolism, and cravings
    • Why you’re not “stuck” or broken because of stress
    • Simple, realistic ways to support your body (without overhauling your life)

    If you’ve been feeling like your body is working against you or that stress is ruining your progress, this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on and how to start working with your body instead of fighting it.

    Because you don’t need a completely different plan.

    You need simple habits that support your body in the life you’re already living.

  • 18 | 5 Tips on How to Eat for Fat Loss After 40 (#4 Might Surprise You)
    May 7 2026

    Why does it feel like all the weight is suddenly going to your stomach after 35 even though you’re doing the same things as before?

    If you’re a woman in your late 30s or 40s struggling with belly fat, weight gain, or a slower metabolism, you’re not imagining it. Changes during perimenopause and menopause can impact how your body stores fat, responds to stress, and uses energy but that doesn’t mean you’ve lost control.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down weight gain after 35, why your old strategies aren’t working anymore, and how to start working with your body instead of fighting against it.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why belly fat increases after 35 (and what’s actually normal)
    • Why doing the “same things” isn’t getting you the same results anymore
    • Practical ways to adjust your habits for sustainable fat loss after 40

    If you’ve been thinking, “My body is working against me” or “I guess this is just part of getting older,” this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and remind you that you still have control.

    You don’t need a more extreme diet or to start over again. You need a strategy that fits this stage of life, one that supports your body, your schedule, and your long-term health.
