Midlife Metamorphosis with Mindy Gorman-Plutzer
Award-winning coach and author Mindy Gorman-Plutzer joins Heather Gray to unpack how women can transform their relationship with food and body during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. From dismantling diet-culture myths to healing the gut and rebuilding self-trust, Mindy shares her 4R Freedom Method, a functional, compassionate roadmap to feeling lighter in body and life.
You’ll learn
- What “midlife metamorphosis” really means and why it starts with self-worth, not willpower.
- Diet-culture lies to ditch (e.g., “all foods fit” and “everything in moderation” for everyone).
- Mindful eating, redefined: presence over obsession, how to actually feel “enough” and stop when you’re satisfied.
- The gut–brain–hormone connection: why chronic dieting and disordered patterns often leave digestive fallout (bloat, irregularity, inflammation).
- Functional testing as a compass: how tools like GI-MAP and Gut Zoomer plus targeted genetics can guide a truly bio-individual plan.
- The 4R Freedom Method: Recognize, Reject/Release, Reclaim, and Radically Accept.
- Body goals without shame: pursuing strength and leanness while honoring biology and individuality.
- How to quiet the inner critic and tune in to inner wisdom.
