Thriving in Perimenopause: Fat Loss, Hormones & Hope with Julie Derr
If you're over 40 and suddenly your body feels like it’s working against you—this one’s for you. Can’t remember why you walked into a room? Fighting stubborn belly fat that showed up overnight? Feel like you might snap if your spouse chews a little louder? You’re not alone—and we’re here to help! In this can’t-miss podcast episode of the FASTer Way Podcast, CEO Amanda Tress sits down with FASTer Way Certified Coach and Integrative Health Practitioner Julie Derr—aka the Hormone Queen—for a bold, honest, and surprisingly fun conversation about navigating perimenopause and menopause with strategy, confidence, and strength.
Julie shares her own story of going from marathon-running physical therapist to hormone health specialist after hitting a wall at 49. Hot flashes, mood swings, and a metabolism that suddenly said “no thanks” to everything that used to work—sound familiar?
Let’s break the silence, ditch the outdated advice, and show midlife who’s boss.

The #1 Mistake Women Make in Midlife & Perimenopause
If you’ve ever talked to your doctor about midlife symptoms or unexplained weight gain and been told to "just eat less and move more," you must listen to this episode. Julie busts that outdated myth and explains why it’s NOT about slashing calories—it’s about fueling your body smartly and strategically. In fact, overtraining and undereating can make your symptoms worse and stall fat loss.
Midlife Fat Loss Starts with Stress Resilience
We're not trying to eliminate stress (because life), but we are helping you become more stress effective. Julie shares simple, daily habits to move your body out of fight-or-flight and into fat-burning mode:
- Get outside for early morning sunshine
- Ditch the phone for the first 10 minutes of your day
- Say NO to energy-draining obligations
- How to use tools like breathwork, prayer, PEMF, or grounding
Small shifts make a BIG difference when your hormones are in flux.
Detoxing Isn’t a Trend—It’s a Necessity
Detox isn’t about juice cleanses. It’s about helping your body do what it’s already designed to do—flush toxins that disrupt hormones and stall metabolism. Julie recommends things like:
- Swapping toxic products for cleaner options
- Upping your protein and fiber to support daily detox
- Moving your body and sweating it out regularly
Want to take it a step further? In the episode, Julie explains quarterly detox protocols and shares exactly how to make it work in real life (even with kids, work, and all the things).
Why Protein is Your Midlife Superpower
Julie spent decades as a vegetarian—and when she joined the FASTer Way, she realized she’d been chronically under-eating protein. Tune in to find out what happened when she began adding high-quality lean animal protein back into her diet.
HRT 101: What Women Really Need to Know
Julie also unpacks the confusing world of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- The difference between progesterone and progestins (yes, it matters!)
- Why testing—not guessing—is key
- How to find a provider who actually understands women’s hormones
- Why bioidentical hormones aren’t something to fear
Whether you're curious about HRT or not quite there yet, this is must-know info for every woman over 35.
You CAN Thrive in Perimenopause & Menopause
Julie is 56 and thriving—and she wants every woman to know: this season doesn’t have to mean slowing down or settling. With the right tools (ahem, FASTer Way), you can feel strong, energized, and empowered like never before.
