In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, we dive headfirst into  tumultuous journey of menopause and how to liberate yourself from the dieting mindset that plagues so many women during this transition. Amy Ozier explores the physical and emotional challenges of perimenopause while shedding light on the deceptive messages surrounding body image and weight gain.Drawing inspiration from 1 John 2:26-27, we uncover the importance of trusting God's design for our bodies and resisting societal pressures. We discuss common menopause symptoms, offering practical coping strategies and emphasizing the purpose in pain. We discuss: The beauty of aging: Recognize the wisdom and sanctity that come with experience. Listening to your own body: Tune into hunger and fullness cues rather than external indicators. Building a coping toolkit: Equip yourself with support systems and tools to navigate this important developmental phase of the female body. Join us in this faith-filled conversation and discover how you can move beyond menopause with grace, humor, and a renewed sense of freedom in the Lord.   Head here for all of today's show notes including Scriptures, social images, and resources mentioned.
