First, it was low-fat.
Then it was no carbs.
Then more protein…
And finally, “just eat intuitively.”
No wonder more than half of us in perimenopause feel totally confused about what to eat—especially when our hormones, metabolism, and energy are changing by the week.
In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through how macro tracking works in midlife, why your macronutrient needs shift with menopause and hormone imbalance, and how to finally stop fearing food—and start using it to fuel your results.
In this episode, I’ll answer your most-asked questions, including:
✅ “What is a macro and why do I need to track it?”
✅ “How do macros change after 40?”
✅ “How much protein should I eat to lose weight?”
✅ “What is the best macro ratio for belly fat after menopause?”
✅ Can eating too much healthy fat cause weight gain in perimenopause?
✅ “What are the best macros for building muscle after 40?”
✅ “Is low carb bad for hormone balance?”
If you break out into a cold sweat every time you try to do macro math in your head—this episode is for you. 🎧

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
