Is your weight gain after 40 really just about hormones — or are you eating too much? 🤔 In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest myths about midlife weight gain and uncovering the truth about what’s actually happening inside your body during perimenopause and menopause.
You’ll learn how hormonal changes like declining estrogen and rising cortisol levels affect your metabolism, increase belly fat, trigger cravings, and mess with your energy, sleep, and mood. But that’s only half the story. The other half? The sneaky eating habits and lifestyle patterns that creep in during this season of life and make those hormone-driven symptoms even worse.

I’ll share the exact midlife weight loss strategies I teach inside my Metabolic Mastery for Women Over 40 program — including simple, research-backed tips you can start using this week to balance hormones, boost metabolism, and finally feel like yourself again.
