On this episode of The Blissful Living Podcast, Dr. Rochel Marie Lawson welcomes special guest Peggy Moore, a registered nurse and founder of Moore Health & Wellness, for a powerful and transformational conversation that every woman in midlife needs to hear.
With over 25 years of experience in trauma and critical care for U.S. soldiers, Peggy now uses her expertise in functional medicine to help women navigate hormonal changes, burnout, and fatigue. In this episode, she shares her Tired to Thriving Blueprint — a roadmap for women ready to reclaim their energy, rebalance their bodies, and take back their power.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why feeling tired and unwell is not “just part of aging”
How hormone shifts impact your energy, metabolism, and mental health
The real cost of pushing through without listening to your body
Why over-dieting and over-exercising may be doing more harm than good
The role of mindset in healing, rest, and sustained wellness
Simple, functional steps you can take today to begin your midlife reset
From Burnout to Balance
Peggy opens up about her personal journey through midlife fatigue. Like so many women, she spent decades trying to “do it all”—raising children, excelling in a demanding career, and managing a household—until her body finally said “enough.”
Her story is familiar and empowering. Through functional medicine, she uncovered the deeper causes of her symptoms, including hormonal imbalances and autoimmune issues that had been overlooked by conventional medicine. Today, she helps other women avoid the same missteps by focusing on root cause healing rather than quick fixes.
Why Mindset Matters
One of the most compelling parts of the episode is Peggy’s insight into the mind-body connection. She explains how constant stress, people-pleasing, and ignoring your own needs can silently erode your health. Reclaiming your energy begins with slowing down, listening to your body, and shifting from survival mode to a state of empowered rest and intentional living.
“We can’t pour from an empty cup. When we honor our bodies, we make space to truly thrive.”
Reset the Right Way
Peggy’s practical advice challenges the old paradigm of calorie-cutting and boot camp workouts. Instead, she encourages women to nourish their bodies with balanced meals, strength training, restorative movement, and self-compassion. She breaks down how cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone interact—and what women can do today to support healthy function without burnout.
This episode is a must-listen for any woman navigating the seasons of midlife, from perimenopause to postmenopause and beyond.
