Summary
How do you lose weight in perimenopause without extreme dieting? Are macros, strength training, and cellular health the missing pieces for women over 35 who feel stuck? In this episode of the She Talks Health podcast, I sat down with Terry Tateossian from House of Rose Retreats and coaching to share her comeback story—from being a busy mom 80 lbs overweight to realizing she’d entered perimenopause at 37, and was stuck in a cycle of restriction, nightly bingeing, and frequent alcohol use. Terry explained how she tried countless diets that “worked” short-term but weren’t sustainable, leading to rebound weight gain and worsening health. She shared the shift that changed everything: moving to a macro-based nutrition and intuitive eating approach that kept her full with balanced meals, reduced sugar cravings, and ultimately helped her lose over 80 pounds during perimenopause while improving emotional eating patterns. We also talked about cellular regeneration and what it means in real life—how the body is designed to rebuild tissues on cycles, and how lacking the right nutrients can interfere with that process. Terry connected this to her own health improvements, including no longer experiencing heart palpitations, improving PCOS symptoms, improving eyesight, getting fewer cavities, and building significant strength over time. Terry shares beginner-friendly guidance, so anyone who wants to begin getting unstuck from old dieting and exercise patterns that don’t work has a manageable framework to get started today. If you’re ready to let go of outdated ideas about perimenopause, menopause, or how women’s weight gain is “just a hormone issue”, this is the episode for you.
