In this episode of The Menopause Method, we’re breaking up with the scale—because your worth isn’t measured in pounds.

Weight fluctuations are normal (thanks, hormones, hydration, and stress), yet so many of us let the number on the scale dictate our mood.

It’s time to shift the focus to real health markers—strength, energy, and how you feel in your body.

I’ll unpack why the scale is just one tool, how to track progress without obsession, and why a holistic approach is the key to thriving in menopause. Let’s ditch the stress and focus on what really matters!

We'll cover:

Everyday Fluctuations: Discover why things like late night snacks or not “going” could make the scale creep up.
Body's Natural Responses: Learn how your carbs, water intake, and strength training are teaming up to throw curveballs at your weigh-ins (but in a good way!).
Mastering Stress and Inflammation: Unpack the surprising impact of short-term inflammation and the crucial role of cortisol in your day-to-day health journey.

Get the Menopause Minis! 10-minute strength workouts that are perfect if your workouts feel like a CHORE! https://www.camoyler.com/meno-minis

Key takeaways:

The scale is not a definitive measure of health.
Daily weight fluctuations are normal and can vary by several pounds.
Carbohydrates can cause temporary weight gain due to water retention.
Stress and inflammation can lead to weight fluctuations.
Focus on non-scale victories like strength and energy levels.
Smart scales can provide more insight into body composition.
Healthy habits are more important than the number on the scale.
Sleep and hydration play crucial roles in weight management.
Understanding personal triggers can help manage expectations with the scale.
Empowerment comes from knowledge and focusing on overall health.

Timestamps:
00:00
Scale's number doesn't define your progress.
05:18
Focus on overall progress, not scale number.
06:54
Focus on holistic health, not scale numbers.

In this video, I’ll show you the 3 daily parts of your metabolism you can actually control—no crazy workouts or crash diets. In this episode, I’ll break down the 3 parts of your metabolism you can actually control : ✔️ NEAT (daily movement) ✔️ TEF (what you eat + protein) ✔️ EAT (exercise that builds muscle) 💥 And why building muscle through strength training is the *most powerful thing* you can do to protect your metabolism after 40. --- ✨ Not sure what’s standing in your way?

Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging Your Health Goals (And How to Finally Stop) Ever catch yourself thinking, “ I know what to do... so why aren’t I doing it ?” You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And this isn’t about willpower. This episode of The Menopause Method is your midlife brain’s wake-up call. 🎙 In this episode, Cam Allen reveals: Why self-sabotage in midlife is actually self-protection How the unconscious mind keeps you stuck in familiar patterns The real reason motivation fades (hint: it’s not your fault) Simple NLP-based reframes to shift your story and your results Why behavior follows identity—and how to change both gently How to finally get consistent without more pressure or perfection Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, postmenopause, or just feel like your spark has turned into a flicker—this one’s for you. ✨ Plus: Take the FREE Midlife Strength Blocker Quiz to find your best next step 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/QUIZ 🧠 This episode is packed with mindset shifts, nervous system wisdom, and language upgrades that actually work for midlife women. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly mindset tips, midlife motivation, and strength training strategies for thriving through menopause. 🎧 Listen to the full Menopause Method podcast on Spotify + Apple. 📲 Hang out with Cam on IG: @heymomma_cam 🎯 Want to go deeper? 💡 When you understand what’s really stopping you, everything changes.Take the quiz to discover your midlife strength blocker—and what to do instead: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/QUIZ 💪 Download your 10-minute strength workout: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/minis 🛋️ Free Home Gym Guide: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/gym-equipment-guide 🌙 Free Menopause Sleep Guide: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/pl/2148586038 We'll cover: Why ‘sabotage’ is actually your brain’s outdated safety system. That block you keep running into? It’s not laziness — it’s biology. Your brain is efficient, always choosing familiar (even uncomfortable familiar) over the unknown. Why your old willpower tricks don’t work anymore. Shaming yourself or trying to “just do it” doesn’t calm your nervous system — and that’s exactly what you need as you move through and beyond menopause. How to reframe your inner dialogue to become your own cheerleader. Instead of “I always quit,” try “I haven’t found a rhythm that supports me yet.” The words you use with yourself aren’t just fluff — they’re instructions to your body and mind, especially in midlife. Key Takeaways: Self-sabotage is often actually self-protection, not a personal flaw. Your brain prioritizes safety and the familiar over your goals, especially in midlife. Willpower and shame-based motivation don't work for long-term health changes after menopause. Reframing your thoughts and language can help shift your habits and outcomes. Hormonal changes in menopause affect stress and stored hormones, making past strategies less effective. Small, compassionate steps lead to real change—start with micro moves, not grand gestures. Your identity creates momentum; embracing new self-talk can anchor lasting behavior shifts.

Change Your Story, Change Your Results: Midlife Motivation Secrets 14:07

Feel like you’re stuck in midlife no matter how hard you try? It’s not a motivation problem — it’s the story you’re telling yourself. In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen breaks down how your unconscious mind is following old scripts—and how to finally rewrite the story to create new energy, motivation, and results in midlife.

The words you use matter; your brain believes what you tell it, so self-talk shapes your results. Motivation isn’t the problem—your underlying stories are. Change your story, and your actions follow. The unconscious mind responds best to clear, positive, and specific directions (not shame or vague goals). Self-sabotage is often just your brain trying to protect you based on outdated beliefs. Reframing negative thoughts into gentle, believable upgrades creates real changes over time. Awaken your midlife potential by becoming aware of old patterns, questioning them, and writing a new story for your next chapter.

Midlife Women: Stop Saying This to Yourself-How self-talk after 45 impacts your body, energy, and results 13:49

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “ This is just how I am now, ” or “ I never stick to anything ,” this episode is for you. In this episode of The Menopause Method , I’m diving into the words we use—out loud and in our heads—and how those words are shaping our energy, motivation, and even our physical body in midlife. You’ll learn how your self-talk programs your nervous system, impacts your health, and how to shift it without toxic positivity or fake affirmations. We'll cover: Your Words Are More Than Just Thoughts The way you talk to yourself actually becomes an instruction manual for your nervous system—and your body listens! How Childhood Programming (and Diet Culture!) Might Be Running the Show We dive into why old self-talk patterns pop up now, and how to lovingly update them.

Our common beliefs about aging, body changes, and motivation are often old programming picked up from childhood and culture—these narratives are changeable! Reframing your thoughts with curiosity, rather than criticism, opens the door to better self-understanding and more positive outcomes in menopause. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) techniques can help you shift unhelpful self-talk and transform your results in midlife and menopause. Your stress and frustration don’t just feel bad—they can literally affect your hormones, cravings, and even your blood sugar. Simple practices—like questioning whether your self-talk is creating the “you” you want to become—can have a big impact on your well-being and results.

Feeling Pulled in Two Directions? NLP Helped Me Rewire My Midlife Mindset 7:26

29 روز پیش7:26

Have you ever had one of those days where part of you is all set to jump into a workout and feel unstoppable, while the other part is whispering sweet nothings about taking a nap and enjoying a glass of wine? Yeah, we’ve all been there, right? Discover how Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) transformed my inner conflict into clarity and confidence during midlife. If you're a woman juggling roles, emotions, and expectations—this one’s for you. Let’s talk real solutions for real midlife struggles. We'll Cover: Understanding Parts Work : You'll learn about the concept of parts in our minds, especially when you find yourself torn between two decisions or thoughts, like wanting to be active versus needing rest. This episode explains how those parts are just different ways your brain is looking out for you. NLP and Rewiring : Cam shares how Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help rewire your brain and change old patterns, particularly those that might have been developed at a very young age, so you can achieve the results you desire in midlife. New Perspective on Fitness : There's a refreshing take on fitness, where it's not about long, intense workouts. Cam introduces the idea of "menopause minis," short, effective workouts, showing how fitness can be flexible and still beneficial, especially during menopause. Key Takeaways: Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help rewire midlife mindset by addressing conflicting desires and parts. Parts work involves recognizing and integrating conflicting desires for better balance and peace. Journaling about your conflicting parts can reveal what both sides are trying to achieve for you. Rest and recovery are crucial components of midlife fitness, countering the old belief of constant high effort. Consistent short workouts, like 10-minute strength sessions, can effectively replace longer, more intense workouts. Shifting from a battle between desires to cooperation between parts leads to a happier and calmer midlife experience. Challenge yourself to identify and reconcile your conflicting parts to better understand your needs and motivations. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly mindset tips, midlife motivation, and strength training strategies for thriving through menopause. 🎧 Listen to the full Menopause Method podcast on Spotify + Apple. 📲 Hang out with Cam on IG: @heymomma_cam 🎯 Want to go deeper? 💡 If you’ve been wondering why you’re not working out—even though you want to...Take the 2-minute quiz to uncover your midlife strength blocker and discover your next easiest step forward: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/QUIZ 💪 Download your 10-minute strength workout: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/minis 🛋️ Free Home Gym Guide: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/gym-equipmen... 🌙 Free Menopause Sleep Guide: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/pl/2148586038 ▶️ Watch more in this mindset series: https://youtu.be/zm8KB7dGjU0 Chapters: 00:00 What it feels like to be pulled in two directions in midlife 01:15 The emotional tug-of-war that made me seek change 02:45 What it is and how it caught my attention 04:10 Real shifts I experienced and how it helped me feel whole again 06:00 Simple techniques to start your mindset makeover 07:30 A Message for Midlife Women As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Why You Need More Protein in Menopause (Not Less) 12:21

۶ weeks پیش12:21

12:21

Feeling tired, puffy, or stuck in your workouts? It might be a protein problem. In this episode of The Menopause Method, Cam Allen breaks down exactly why protein matters more than ever in midlife — for your metabolism, hormones, muscle, energy, and even your mood. You’ll learn: Why most women 45+ are under-eating protein (by a lot!) How much protein you really need (based on your goals) The best way to space it out during the day Why timing protein around your workouts matters (and why Cam is anti-fasted workouts) Easy, no-stress ideas to get 30g of protein per meal Key Takeaways: Most midlife women are under-eating protein — often by half. What worked in your 20s doesn't cut it anymore. Your body needs more, not less, to thrive in menopause. Protein is essential for more than just muscle — it's key for mood, metabolism, energy, and recovery. Your body uses protein less efficiently in midlife, so you need more to get the same benefits. Aim for 0.7–1g of protein per pound of your ideal lean body weight. 30 grams of protein per meal is the sweet spot. This is the minimum needed to trigger muscle protein synthesis — anything less and you're not getting the full benefit. Timing matters: eat protein before and after your workouts. Fasted workouts can spike cortisol and backfire in midlife. Fueling your body supports better strength gains and recovery. You don’t need to be perfect — you just need to be consistent-ish. Simple go-tos like collagen, Greek yogurt, tuna, and protein bowls can make it easier. Protein is a form of self-respect — not a punishment. When you nourish your body intentionally, everything works better: energy, hormones, workouts, and how you feel in your skin. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly mindset tips, midlife motivation, and strength training strategies for thriving through menopause. 🎧 Listen to the full Menopause Method podcast on Spotify + Apple. 📲 Hang out with Cam on IG: @heymomma_cam 🎯 Want to go deeper? 💡 Ever feel like something’s off, but can’t explain why workouts just don’t stick?Take this 2-minute quiz to find the hidden pattern—and a gentle step that actually fits your life: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/QUIZ 💪 Download your 10-minute strength workout: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/minis 🛋️ Free Home Gym Guide: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/gym-equipmen... 🌙 Free Menopause Sleep Guide: 👉 https://www.camoyler.com/pl/2148586038 ▶️ Watch more in this mindset series: https://youtu.be/zm8KB7dGjU0 Timestamps: 00:00 Midlife Protein Needs Explained 05:38 Protein Boosts Post-Workout Gains 08:30 Protein-Packed Meal Ideas 11:39 Suitcase Essentials for Healthy Travel Grab your Greek yogurt, friend.

Why Your Workouts Aren’t Working After 40 (And What to Do Instead) If you’ve been working out but not seeing the results you used to, this episode is for you. Midlife fitness isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what actually works for your metabolism, hormones, and recovery. In this episode, we’re breaking down the four keys to midlife fitness so you can stop overtraining, under-recovering, and feeling frustrated. You’ll learn: Why strength training 2-3x per week is the best way to build muscle and boost metabolism How daily movement (NEAT) keeps you burning more calories without overloading your body Why rest days and recovery are just as important as your workouts The difference between HIRT (High-Intensity Repeat Training) and HIIT—and why one works better for midlife women. If you’ve been wondering "Why your workouts aren’t working anymore"or "what kind of exercise is best after 40", this episode will give you clear, doable strategies that actually support your body. Your body isn’t broken—you just need a different approach. We'll cover: The Magic of Strength Training : Discover why strength training is your best friend for boosting metabolism and maintaining muscle mass in midlife. Daily Movement is Your Secret Weapon : Learn about the power of NEAT (Nonexercise Activity Thermogenesis) and how simple daily movements can rev up your metabolism effectively. The Importance of Rest & Recovery : Find out why rest days are crucial and how they actually help your muscles grow stronger. Plus, get the inside scoop on the right way to do high-intensity workouts with the HURT method. Key Takeaways: Strength training is crucial for maintaining muscle mass after 40. Daily movement, or NEAT, significantly impacts metabolism. Rest and recovery are essential for muscle growth and overall health. High Intensity Repeat Training (H.I.R.T.) is a better alternative to traditional HIIT. Insulin sensitivity can be improved through strength training. Walking can help lower cortisol levels and improve overall health. Progressive overload is key to building strength effectively. Tracking daily steps can help maintain accountability in fitness. Active recovery is important on rest days to prevent injury. Training smarter, not harder, is the goal in midlife fitness. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly mindset tips, midlife motivation, and strength training strategies for thriving through menopause. 🎧 Listen to the full Menopause Method podcast on Spotify + Apple. 📲 Hang out with Cam on IG: @heymomma_cam 🎯 Want to go deeper? 💡 If you were to stop blaming yourself and start listening to your body...You’d probably feel a whole lot better.

If you’ve been feeling tired no matter how much you sleep, craving sugar all day, or holding onto belly fat even when eating healthy—stress could be the missing link. I’ll break down: ✔ How chronic stress raises cortisol and triggers fat storage in menopause ✔ The sneaky signs of stress overload (bloating, sleep issues, cravings, and more) ✔ Why stress messes with your blood sugar and metabolism—making weight loss harder ✔ Science-backed strategies to lower stress, reset hormones, and support metabolism Your body isn’t broken—it’s responding to stress.

Chronic stress can lead to weight gain, especially around the belly. High cortisol levels disrupt digestion and hormone balance. Women in midlife often experience hidden signs of stress. Dieting harder and exercising more can worsen stress-related weight gain. Strength training can help reduce cortisol levels. Walking after meals aids digestion and lowers blood sugar. Prioritizing protein and fiber helps manage cravings and gut health. Self-care is essential for reducing stress and improving health. Identifying stress triggers is crucial for managing overall well-being.

Ever wonder why you keep putting off that workout, that meal prep, or even that much-needed downtime? It’s not just you—your brain is wired to keep you safe and comfortable, which sometimes means dodging the very things that would help you thrive. In this episode, I’m diving into the sneaky ways we avoid the things that would actually make us feel better—especially in menopause. We’ll unpack the science behind procrastination (spoiler: it’s not just about willpower) and how self-awareness is the key to breaking the cycle. Plus, I’m sharing simple, doable strategies to shift your mindset, change the way you talk to yourself, and start celebrating those small wins—because progress is progress, no matter how tiny. Let’s move past avoidance and start showing up for ourselves in a whole new way! You'll hear: Understanding the brain's avoidance strategies : Why your brain isn't always your biggest cheerleader and how it tries to keep you comfy - not always helpful, right? Key steps to disrupt avoidance : From identifying triggers to changing self-talk, it's time to put the control back in your hands. Believe it or not, you get to change that narrative! The magic of small wins : Why Celebrating ten-minute mini victories can pave the way to big changes in your energy, strength, and overall joy. It's those tiny steps that lead to progress. Get the Menopause Minis: 10-minute Strength Workouts: https://www.camoyler.com/meno-minis Key takeaways: We often avoid things we know are good for us. Understanding the science behind our thoughts can help us change our behavior. Our brains are wired to keep us safe, often leading to avoidance of discomfort. 80% of our daily thoughts are negative, impacting our decisions. 90% of our decisions are made subconsciously, which can lead to automatic avoidance. Identifying triggers for avoidance is crucial for change. Self-awareness is the first step in overcoming avoidance strategies. Changing self-talk from 'I have to' to 'I get to' empowers us. Celebrating small wins can motivate us to continue making positive changes. Menopause can be a time for personal awakening and self-discovery.
