Feeling bloated, puffy, or like your metabolism has hit a wall after 40? You’re not alone — and your food choices might be playing a bigger role than you think. In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 simple, gut-friendly foods that support hormone balance and metabolism after 40 — and the best part? Most people can tolerate these, even if you’ve been struggling with bloating, IBS, or digestive issues.
Forget the so-called “superfoods” — I’m sharing real, whole foods that deliver powerful benefits for estrogen metabolism, gut health, and blood sugar balance. You’ll learn how these everyday foods help reduce inflammation, support liver detox, and gently rebalance hormones naturally.
We’ll cover:
Why raw carrots are a hormone-balancing, gut-loving powerhouse
The metabolism-boosting benefits of extra virgin olive oil (and how it affects your GLP-1 levels)
How chia seeds and flaxseeds help regulate estrogen and improve insulin sensitivity
If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with belly fat, bloating, low energy, or perimenopause symptoms, this episode is for you. Plus — I’ll share a way you can get a customized blueprint for what to eat, drink, and supplement based on your unique metabolic needs, not someone else’s diet.
Tune in now and start making simple, strategic changes that move the needle on your metabolism and hormone health.
