211A Mini Series What Is Fat — and Why We Need to Love It

In this first episode of our four-part mini-series on releasing fat in midlife, we flip the script on fat. Instead of fighting our bodies, we explore why fat is protective, intelligent, and essential — especially in perimenopause and menopause.

You’ll learn:

• Why fat is not the enemy

• How your body uses fat as fuel, insulation, hormone protection & safety

• Why midlife female fat biology is completely different than men’s

• How shame, stress, and fear can lock fat in place

• Why loving your fat helps you release it

Meet Fiona & Emma, two midlife women navigating fat with very different emotional + physiological responses — and how their mindset and habits shape their results.

This episode invites you to soften, understand your biology, and begin working with your body instead of against it.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Fat is not passive storage — it’s a dynamic organ

• Your body keeps fat to protect you

• Chronic stress, under-eating, and over-training can increase fat storage

• Safety = metabolism

• Love + trust rewires the body faster than force
