105 | Weight Gain, Sugar Cravings, and Waking at 3AM? What Your Metabolism’s Trying to Tell You

Are you waking up at 3AM, craving sweets like crazy, and feeling like you gain weight just looking at food? You’re not imagining it — your metabolism is trying to tell you something.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really going on with your metabolism after 40 and how it’s connected to those frustrating symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, sweet cravings, and those middle-of-the-night wake-ups.

We’ll talk about a concept called metabolic flexibility — your body’s ability to switch between burning carbs and burning fat for fuel. Most women over 40 get stuck in what I call the “carb-burn lane” and lose the ability to tap into fat-burning, which leads to stubborn belly fat, low energy, perimenopause weight gain, and those nagging sugar cravings.

This is one of the core issues I help my clients fix inside my Metabolic Mastery program — and in today’s episode, you’ll learn why restoring metabolic flexibility is the key to lasting weight loss, better sleep, and boosting your energy naturally.
