Perimenopause, fitness myths and finding balance with Kayla Johnson

Are you struggling with weight gain, exhaustion, and frustration in perimenopause - even though you’re exercising and 'doing all the right things'?

You’re not alone.

Welcome to this Midlife Freedom Podcast episode where Kayla Johnson, a perimenopause weight loss expert and former spin studio owner with over 30 years in the fitness industry, shares her powerful journey of reinvention - from dancer to fitness instructor, single mom, entrepreneur, and now, a leading voice helping women navigate midlife health and hormones.

We dive into:
✨ Why cardio obsession and overtraining can worsen perimenopause symptoms
✨ The truth about weight training as your “retirement account” for strong bones and longevity
✨ How perimenopause often goes undiagnosed and why so many women feel lost and unsupported
✨ Kayla’s personal experience with hormone replacement therapy and how it transformed her health
✨ The role of GLP-1 peptides (like Ozempic) in midlife weight management—and what you really need to know
✨ Why rest, balance, and joy are just as important as movement in this new chapter of life

Kayla speaks with raw honesty about the challenges of midlife, the myths around exercise, and how she learned to unlearn years of fitness culture conditioning. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or misunderstood in your health journey, this episode is a must-listen.
