This is StRest! Registered CBT and Nutritional Therapist Natalie Fader joins Kerstin to tackle perimenopause and menopause with a practical, behavior-first plan. We dig into GLP-1s (Ozempic/Wegovy)—what they do, why rapid weight loss can mean lean-mass loss, and how to protect your metabolism with protein and strength training.

We explore sleep and progesterone, the six-week whole-foods reset Natalie used to crush inflammation, and a simple “30-30-30” protein framework that’s doable even if you don’t love cooking. Natalie breaks down collagen’s role for joints, hair, and skin, why L-theanine can steady mood without making you drowsy, and how to pair fasting and workouts without spiking cortisol.

You’ll leave with a phased plan: move daily, lift 3–4x/week, front-load protein, manage stress, and sleep like it matters. If you choose a GLP-1, do it with coaching, a resistance-training routine, and a re-entry strategy so you don’t give back your gains.
