In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into menopause — what it actually is, what’s really happening in your body, and why the old advice of "eat less, move more" just doesn't cut it anymore.
We unpack the most common symptoms women experience during perimenopause and postmenopause, and how changes in blood glucose regulation play a major role in how you feel day to day.
We also talk about why adrenal health matters more than ever, the role of hormone replacement therapy, and how strategic walking, strength training, and smarter eating can completely shift your body composition — and your quality of life — after 40.
If you’ve been feeling frustrated, exhausted, or confused about your body lately, this episode will empower you with the real science (and real solutions) you deserve.
