Have you ever bought the same supplement twice because you forgot you already tried it? 👀

🙋🏼‍♀️Yeah, been there, got the T-shirt… AND the magnesium spray… AND the melatonin gummies that tasted like stale fruit snacks.

According to a 2025 OnePoll survey, women in perimenopause and menopause spend nearly $500 a year on supplements, apps, and other health products to balance their hormones.

And yet… 76 percent of us say our symptoms haven’t changed—and neither has the number on the scale.

In today’s episode, I’m spilling the tea on 6 Tools Under $100 that actually support hormone balance and can help you move the dial on midlife weight loss.

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

✅ What are the best supplements for balancing hormones during perimenopause?

✅ Can a quiz accurately diagnose hormone imbalances?

✅ How does using a digital food scale aid in weight management?

✅ Is macro tracking more effective than calorie counting for fat loss?

✅ Which apps are best for tracking macronutrients?

✅ How does blood sugar imbalance contribute to weight gain in perimenopause?

✅ Can regular exercise improve blood sugar control and aid in weight loss?

If you’ve ever bought a pricey smart scale (but couldn’t figure out how to sync it to your phone without calling in the Geek Squad)—this episode is for you. 🎧 —
