Episode 7: The Truth About Mid-Life Weight: GLP1s, Mindset And More Than Your Mom's Diet With Nishta Saxena, RD
Nutrition in midlife is loud so we brought in Coven Women’s Health Registered Dietitian, Nishta Saxena, to make sense of what your body actually needs in perimenopause and beyond.
This episode breaks down metabolism, weight changes, hormone shifts and everything the internet gets wrong about “fixing” your body in your 40s and 50s. If you want less confusion, more confidence, and a grounded plan for nourishing yourself, this conversation is packed with clarity.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
What a Registered Dietitian actually is and why regulated, evidence-based nutrition support matters.
Why weight changes in perimenopause, including shifts in hormones, fat distribution and metabolism.
GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, etc.), when they’re helpful and when they can create new problems.
Why strength training becomes essential for health, longevity and weight stability.
How stress, sleep and mindset impact appetite and midlife weight changes more than most diets do.
Why nutrition is emotional, not just practical, and how to build habits that support the life you want.
